I like this packaging for my portfolio. But this is kind of expensive. I wonder if I can make it for less.

I like this too

I'm probably going to visit this school while on vacation. There stuff is interesting, very fine arty, and not at all slick.

activity book for adults

This is purposefully not super designy. It's a zine so we didn't want to to look too professionally done. Although most people were creative professionals in some respect.

Gen gave int design an assignment to make a booklet last summer. It needs a lot of work. But I think it could be look nice.

really old

This is kind of old, but it still could be nice with some work

I'm going to start posting my portfolio online. Not everything is as finished as this is. Some stuff needs a lot of work.

I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. I was raised with the help of a white grandfather who survived a Depression to serve in Patton's Army during World War II and a white grandmother who worked on a bomber assembly line at Fort Leavenworth while he was overseas. I've gone to some of the best schools in America and lived in one of the world's poorest nations. I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slaves and slaveowners — an inheritance we pass on to our two precious daughters. I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents, and for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.

It's a story that hasn't made me the most conventional of candidates. But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts — that out of many, we are truly one. -- Barack Obama in Philadelphia from the speech "A More Perfect Union"

I like how they play with type on these shirts

Some of these are better

In class I mentioned the artist/graphic designer shepard fairey. There are a bunch of people online using this exact design on t-shirts and selling them. I have no if Shepard Fairey has released this for reproduction or not.

This is what happens when human beings start thinking of other human beings as different from themselves.

coding in progress

I don't really have anything to show right now because my friend is coding. He doesn't really know how to have flash communicate with javascript. So the page is going to coded in html. That means that the typeface is going to have to change a little bit. For those who do not know web, you are limited to the typefaces available on the users computer. So, I had to pick a successor for if the user does not have interstate. My choices are Interstate, then Franklin Gothic, Helvetica, and finally any sans serif font. The other option is to turn the text into a gif (I cannot do a jpeg b/c I need the background to be transparent) but it looks pretty crappy.

I had a problem printing so we are just going to have to view these in class
