Guest Brusky Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 1st graphic design project of the semesterMm...yeah, so the title's pretty self-explanatory. There basic goal for this project was to create a poster for Cypress College's annual student art show each May. Just finished this today and had it printed. Class critiques have gone pretty well so far. Thought I'd share it here as well. Oh, and for those who don't know yet, I've been accepted to California College of the Arts (CCA), one of the best design schools around the world (BusinessWeek Oct '06). I'll be moving to San Francisco for Fall '07. Click for the full size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest satisfaction! Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Omg Bruce! CONGRATULATIONS I knew you'd make it into a very good art school! As for the poster, it's really nicely oriented. I like the font usage =) Oh and btw, this is Jessica [HappilyEverAfter.] I gotta username change xD -Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Wow, awesome work. I like how you only used three colours. Very simple and neat. The effect you added in the text really stands out and draws the audience towards the poster. I really like it. Also congratulations for being accepted into the college =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brusky Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 thank you both name change eh jess? no wonder i haven't seen you around. now i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest &gravity. Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'm a sucker for anything black, white, and gray. I like the simplicity, but of course, that's a good thing since it's a poster. You kind of don't want anything very messy and busy on a poster. Honestly, if I saw something posted up around school, I would attend just because the poster looks cool. I'm pretty sure you'll get good comments from us too. No wonder AJ talk so highly of you.

Guest accursed_desire Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Congrats on getting accepted. I heard that's a really good school too. ^^ That poster is brilliant! Simple, yet still attention drawing. I like the choice of fonts, they go really good together. And it's not bright and flashy. I hate bright posters. @___@ I've seen some of your work that you previously posted, and I was always really impressed with it. ^^ (just too lazy to comment until now XD) You're really talented. Good luck in school! =) I want to major in Graphic Design. I heard the classes and the workload can be crazy most of the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tru__minute Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Mmmm the program would be 3 years. And they would turn you from noob to pro . Downside is that you would only walk out with a diploma. They have summer, one year, 3 year, and masters AJ is such a suck up. *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hippo_sleekz Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Congrats Brusky in getting into CCA. Im hoping I get accepted into their fall '08 semester, for their graphic design program. The Art Institues arnt appealing to me any more. I like how you turned it into a typography type of a project. I like the ease of the poster. I like how you emphasized the fact that it is a student art exhabition by making those words bigger. It has a really balanced well.
