Magazine cover in progress

So after having a breakdown with this magazine redesign project I finally buckled down and made a decision to make it work and not change it.

It is not quite done yet but i'm getting there...

A (WEEKEND) IN THE LIFE OF ME

So my weekends are always very busy and I don't get to do much sleeping as I wish I could.

Starting on THURSDAY I usually catch a ride to Turner Field from school with Morgan and Lauren.

THURSDAY after school I baby sat my little nephew for my sister as she washed his clothes and did some running around. He is usually quite after he eats so I just rock him in my arms as I do some sketching for the bottle project and gamesalad.

Then off to bed.

SATURDAY morning I finally got to sleep a little till around about 9 or 10. When I woke up I cleaned the house, ironed, and got ready for my uncles wedding. Before leaving for the wedding I did some running around to get some more things for my bottle project, which is using all of my money up.


At the wedding I took some amature pictures of my uncle, his bride, and their kids.

After the wedding me, my sister, and her boyfriend went to get something to eat which lead us to a mexican restaurant where I took part in eating a chicken, shrimp, and steak casadia. (Perfection)

After sitting around for a while I headed home to I changed clothes for the Halloween party that night.
Look who all was there. Morgan, Lauren, and Nevena were there when I arrived; also Deb left and Kwame showed up much later as I was in the bed around that time.

Sunday morning I usually wake up around 7 for work at 8. I'm usually in the booth until 12:30 so I do a little designing on my computer trying to catch up on the next weeks assignments.

After work I headed toward church where my grandmother had through a program to raise money for the church. During the entire servive I dosed on and off until it was over and I left to go home. I watched a movie, took some medicine, felt to sleep to wake up and realize I for got to post my blog. LOL

Here is a weekend in my life.

NOT EVERY WEEK (WHICH IS BAD ENOUGH) BUT I TEND TO DROP IN ON...

FRONT AND BACK COMPS FOR OLIVE OIL REDESIGN

These are my front and back designs not finished yet cause I am still playing around with the design and sizes. Here they are...

BOTTLE PAINT CONCEPTS

Since my little bottle already came painted (which is the second reason I bought it), My initial idea was to repaint it in full color after removing the logo and information off. While in the process of designign and researching I came up with two other ways I could paint the bottle.

One being the FULL bottle

Two being the label looking paint job leaving the top and bottom open.

And Three being painting the bottle to look as if it was dipped in paint
3 quarters the way from bottom up.

Sorry I don't have an image for this idea yet but picture a dipped strawberry.


WHICH DO YOU PREFER?

LOGOS FOR DELALLO OLIVE OIL

These is the logo I came up with for my modern olive oil redesign project. I have to which are negatives of each other because I am doing PURE and EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. Not sure if I am done tweaking but here they are...

REDOS

Table of Contents and Cover

I'M NOT OVERLY EXCITED ABOUT MY COVER, AND EVENTUALLY I MIGHT EXPAND TO 2 CONTENT PAGES IF I GET SOME PICS. ALSO CHANGE COVER IF I GET A GOOD PIC.

New Name Plate

Any suggestions to make it better.

It's inspired by the hole rolling out the red carpet idea.

THE BIG DECISION

So I think I have made my decision on what my bottle design is going to be. I am going with the redo for the Crisco olive oil. I want to bring a modern youthfulness to Crisco sense during class everyone said when they see or hear Crisco they think of grandma cooking with it or just OLD.

I'm not quite sure if I am going to redo the Crisco logo yet, but I am thinking variety.

My base material...

My empty bottle ideas

Event Poster

This is the redo of my event poster for cancer, but I still feel that I am going to make more changes.

Bottle Redesign

I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I have pics of wine bottles and olive oil bottles.
