S of I Rev 3


For this particular rev i tryed to clean up the design more and flip the information so when unfolded it makes more sense. I'm worried the horse shoe texture I added may be a little boring. I do however enjoy the horse cob that is the first image when opened.

Good morning Red Barn... not


My first rev for Red Barn was so terrible I decided to scratch the whole things and start over. My initial concept was to play off of the fact that Red Barn arts and crafts fair starts at 6:00AM and have my tag- line be "Good Morning Red Barn" Due to lack of imagery I decided to completely change my concept.

After scratching this concept I came across a photo of some glass art one of the venders had displayed. I decided to play off of this picture and have my tag line become "seeing through ROSE colored glass." I like how the word rose goes along with red in red barn without throwing it in your face. For my poster I want really utilize the rose colored glasses and refer to red barn as a "magical" event where the town of kirksville bring in joy and fun to the square for just one day!

SOI Rev 1

For this piece we were told to promote the society of illustrators by creating a poster/ self-mailer. I found this illustration by Guy Porfiro of a horse and jockey with vibrant colors. Inspired by this illustration i decided to go with an upbeat/ elegant Kentucky Derby feel. I am currently using a script font to deal with major headline. I want to play off the Kentucky Derby headline "mingle with the champions" where they use it for winning a race, I will use it for become a member of the finest (champion) illustrators
