Posters for conference in India

I was asked to create a series of two-page fliers for a conference in India hosted by CapitalPlus Exchange. I was told that all the text had to be included and that we had to establish a consistent appearance. Here is one of the fliers:

invitation for non-profit organization

A client in Chicago, CapitalPlus Exchange, wanted me to create an invitation to be mailed for a fundraising dinner. I was told that the theme should be ethnic and that we had to keep all the informational text, without a hierarchy other than the "save the date!" tagline at the beginning and the contact info at the end. This is what I came up with:

Inspired by a photoshop tutorial available here.

di1: oil dependence public service announcement

GD1: war and peace

Revised logo

I decided to revise bestbabymovies.com's logo a bit after some great feedback last night from my graphic design classmates. Thanks guys!

bestbabymovies.com

I didn't design this logo, that would be Shahid Juma from ECNetsolutions.ca. He's helping me build a site in which baby movies will be posted everyday. More news when bestbabymovies.com launches in May.

GD2: How to draw a grungy retro design

We were told to find a tutorial on "how to" do something and turn it into a little booklet. Here's my take on a tutorial I found at AbuZeedo.com:

di1: old man

Full disclosure: I saw a piece of art very similar to this on abduzeedo.com of an old man with a face riveted together; I wanted to see if I could recreate the same concept with my own take on the piece. The original  had mostly straight lines, but I thought introducing more curves and diagonals would strengthen the impact.

pages with "The National"

"The National" has won many awards for its slick styling. It's very similar to "The Guardian" in some ways, but it has its own unique flavor. Can you spot what makes it different from "The Guardian"?

First blog post for Alligators Doing the Backstroke. Nothing fancy here -- I just want to showcase some ideas for my graphic design courses.

Let's get this thing started.
