During my research I decided to go in the direction of love and health. It's amazing how having someone to talk to keeps you healthy.


I went to www.nel.edu, webMD, medicinenet.com, TIME magazine, some other college websites, etc to find different benefits of love and sex.

icons as of Monday March 23rd




With the help of my classmates I've decided to take this route for my icons, although there still needs to be work done.
Adding a third color to the stroke alone isn't really helping it, so I'm going to try adding a really light fill to certain areas, similar to what i did in the 2 color icons below.



These were my first color ideas, but through a lot of trial and error only a few of my icons pull it off. I feel that the key, rose, and perfume bottle are working, but it's difficult to keep the same idea throughout all icons. First of all, the paper is flat, so there is really no where to add curves, the pen and the ring are skinny, so no matter where i add multiple colors they won't be visible in small form.

Inspiration for Licko and VanderLans poster

For my poster, I'm going to focus on experimental type, not necessarily creating my own fonts like zuzana licko and rudy vanderlans do, but placement, and variety are going to be extremely important. The good thing about these designers' style is they do something completely different with each Emigre cover. Hopefully i'll be able to combine some of these ideas into one poster.
