Here are some inspirational type posters for climate change. What do you think about them!
I personally love the colors, matched with that type it really brings the message across without screaming at you.

So... Have you seen Comic Sans new look?

It is ironic that we've been stabbing at Comic Sans for practically the entire quarter with no actual reason why we hate it besides the fact that it's unique (and rather obnoxious to the eye) style wards us off from ever believing in it to be a true professional typeface like Helvetica. Coni has asked us why helvetica, which is practically used everywhere and no one ever tires from it is so much greater than comic sans, which never gets any positive spotlight? Obviously its the construction of the type and its usability reasons that make helvetica top notch and comic sans laughable... But has anyone seen the new typeface comic sans has been evolved into?? I honestly think this typeface is giving comic sans a standing chance at being a usable, fun typeface, what do you guys think??

Wanted to share with you guys my logo.

First let me give you some background on what I doing my project on. I recently found an article on how CO2 disrupts plants and causes them to pollinate faster. This is the reason why there are more people that develop asthma every year. I wanted to do this subject because I recently found out that I have developed asthma after being in Massachusetts for a year. The doctor said it is because in Boston their is a lot of CO2 and disrupted plant life...

Now for the logo... I wanted to create something that was...

• Simple yet original
• Worked in Black and White
• Represented the Letters CCI

Because cars and factories are the number one producer of CO2 I also wanted to incorporate that into the logo as well. The two "c's" are the CO2/chemicals that come from vehicles/factories. The "i" is the chemicals/CO2 and the exhaust/factory chimney. I wanted to make the chemicals/CO2 coming from the exhaust/factory chimney more prominent than the letters cci.  

I posted this up here because I really wanted to see your thoughts! Thanks guys! 

Decided to change the bubbles to a more dominant color;)

Went back to the first logo.. after hearing peoples feedback I started to feel the same way. I also think that you can see the c's a little easier too.

Inspirational Brochures

Here are some inspirational brochures! I thought the first on was very unique with the holes cut out of it. I would have never thought of that and it gave me a few new ideas. Also, the second one has many colors that all compliment each other, which is always hard to do and the constant design they have on every other page is really creative and works great with that style brochure. Hope this gave everyone some inspiration :)

Fun with Classic Fonts

In my search for something to post to the blog i actually found  these classic fonts posters that are very amusing. They were made by Gary Nicholson. I certainly got a chuckle out of them, but that aside, i like how simple they are, which is probably the reasons why they are so successful, puns aside. What do you guys think? 

The History of Typography - Animated Short

I stumbled upon this looking for what to blog about this week and this is just such a cute and creative way to talk about the history of type. I think he does really well explaining the differences between modern style old style and traditional style and all his other quirky explanations were enjoyable to listen to as well! Enjoy!

Music Poster

So I didn't have my music poster back for the final critique. So I wanted to use it for the blog this week to see what you all think. I figured I can use the criticism and build, its always good. The song is a powerful one to me, both the artist being two faves of many I am moved by the message in it. Not only that but it was actually performed live for a studio audience on the Dave Chappelle show. BlackStar:Mos Def/Talib Kweli, Audio of Chappelle Show Appearance. I hope you all like it but don't hold back either!!
