Fresh from the Land of 10,000 Lakes

I checked my mail today and got a sweet surprise from REALLY GREAT Graphic Designer Miss Julie Roche.

From a past post I put a series of Postcards that I created during my Elec Pre-Press class, Julie was in that class as well.
In addition to the postcards, we also had the option to make business cards. I didn't like mine as much, but loved Julie's {I also loved her postcards} I even loved the stamped she used to mail them!



THANX JULIE!!!

Binary Opposition Postcards

An assignment for my Elec Pre-Press class. Exploration of how the printing process itself can contribute to the meaning of your design and to understand “binary oppositions”.

My postcard represents my hometown of Houston,TX and the division between Southside Houston (woman in red) and Northside Houston (woman in blue).
And my love for vintage female wrestler pictures.



Black Layer: Lyrics from "Chunk up the Deuce" by: Lil Keke (Houston based rapper) represents the fact that we're all pride about being from Houston.



Silver Layer: Just cause I could I made a textile of a bunch of gang girl fights
(C. Silver layer will interact with all 4 layers separately. This layer can conceptually relate to your previous concept, or completely ignore it. This layer is primarily for formal exploration and will be hard to visualize before we actually see it on press)


Surprise prints! Seeing what happens when we turn off the different plates







If you would like some please let me know. You can see more on my Flickr page as well.
