Finals: Typography II

The goal of the project was to create promotional pieces for upcoming events for an organization. I, getting excited for the winter season (which has been great so far), chose to do Timberline Lodge. We were expected to make a calendar (which could be easily mailed), a poster, a movable typographical installation and another of our choice.  Some of the events used in the making of this project are fictitious while others are real. Please make a visit to the Timberline lodge website to make sure.

Finals: Communication Design II

  
   Well, finals are over with and its time to get all those things we have ignored back to the top of the list. I've had a couple days to relax and now its time to get all those Christmas presents done with before heading back to Boston.
While I have you here, this is what was keeping me up all hours of the night and into the morning for a week and a half straight. This little book I have created is a basic, trim down the bullshit guide to biking in the SE. Taken from the point of view of a commuter, it breaks down my typical rides, the weather, times, distances and baggage through a daily bike log where I kept a two week journal of these habits. I also have included an inner bike map, and a guide to some really cool hotspots in the area. Also included is a survival guide that will help beginning bike commuters with their transitions to daily biking in Portland. To go along with the Bike Guide is a Daily Bike Log I created to hand out to interested parties, so they can record their own habits.

Draplin kills it again!!

Before the sleepness hits me in the face with its pillow soft punches, just saw that Aaron Draplin is done with the design and layout of the 2010/11 Union Binding catalog. Designer extraordinaire, he has done it again with a beautiful treatment. Clean lines, beautiful photography, strong (or maybe I should say "stronger") type, brilliant colors, and amazing consistency. Thanks for keeping simple and captivating. Check out this link to see the whole catalog page by page, maybe pick up a pair of bindings...they are indeed the jam!
