Graphic Design Projects (http://www.flickr.com/photos/38831842@N04/4634510239/in/set-72157624124873798/)

It was been a swell summer! Reconnecting with the pass, making amends, and just plain having fun. This particular project I would like to share was completed in my Graphic Design course at San Jose State. It is a comprehensive final project that progressively expanded from previous projects. We started with an object in which we represented in graphical form - I chose the drilbit.

The drillbit is a complex form in which the challenge was to represent the form in a simplified and yet representational in terms of contrast and space. From that idea, one had to create a poster utilizing the form and somehow tie it to a subject matter. My idea was the chemistry of coating that is applied to a drillbit. I chose pastel like colors that felt organic like in the nature of chemistry. I used a hexagonal feel with strong leading lines as to mimic the atomic structure of the infinitely smallest matter in existence. With a transparent, enlarged drillbit and supporting text, I have a informational poster providing both visual and strong textual content.

Enjoy! Also browse through the many more projects in my Flikr! Stay tuned for more!
