Like most other people I experience the fear of failure. Will Paterson a designer and YouTuber (that I follow) shared some great insights on failure this past week.

#33 CD COVER

It's sometimes difficult to express words and emotions visually. The last assignment in Intro to Graphic Design was creating a CD cover for single. I choose Bright by Echosmith. First I did some word brainstorming, and moved onto doing a few thumbnail sketches. I got stuck a few times with where to go. None of my concepts were coming together or felt right. Then I thought of our engagement pictures and how on that day we had a beautiful bright sunset. So I used a few of the pictures as the background, and overlaid the type. The lines coming from the text represent two individuals coming together to make a love that is bright.

#32 HAND TYPE

Recently I have really enjoyed doing some hand typography projects. It's a lot of fun and a less expensive then buying fonts. A little while back I discovered William Paterson
who makes hand type himself. His work is very beautiful and inspirational. Checkout
his YouTube videos. These are a couple of projects I did.

For some reason I couldn't spell Lord. I cough it up to working on this at 4:00 AM. So I removed the L and Added the D later in Illustrator. First I sketched out my piece with a Staedtler Mars® Lumograph® 2H pencil. Then I outlined it and filled in the type with a Pigma® Micron® 005 pen and a Staedtler® Lumocolor Permanent Broad Tip marker. After that I scanned and uploaded it to Illustrator where I cleaned it up, added the foliage, and put a splatter/grunge effect on it. I followed the same process with the Passion piece.
