CLEAR WATER FISHING ALRIGHT!

So this is the last project for DSP.  And of course, I thought this was due on Friday...  my bad.  I had different ideas for this originally (in the thumbnail stage).  I wanted it to be manly / hardcore to the EXTREME but then...  I couldn't find any extreme pictures of fishing.  Just some bros grinning with a huge bass they caught.  That was pretty disappointing, so I went with a more "traditional" look instead, with the headline font as an exception.  It has a lot of movement, which isn't expected from a fishing magazine.  Hopefully that's a good thing.

Obviously this is a lot more rushed than my other projects since it's already late anyway, but I think it gets the job done.  Also, I had a different color scheme (green and brown) in mind while I was doing thumbnails.  But then I found the image of the boat and wanted the color scheme to center around that, so I switched it to blue and red.

The original inspiration for this spread...  unfortunately I couldn't find any pictures of people fishing on a boat.  But uh, maybe that's for the best.

Marceline Pamphlet

So this is the final product of the Marceline Pamphlet, it pretty much matches the marker comp.  I kind of wish I came up with a more creative solution for the back since there's a lot of extra space in the middle.  But at least the front looks good.  I added the dividers inbetween columns for visual interest as well as organization.

It printed out all faded!  I mean I guess it's not that bad since I was going for a postcard look anyway (like this), but I would have liked the header to look vibrant since that's what's supposed to pull the viewer in.  At least I got it printed at all, though.  I realized I didn't have my printing receipt so I had to truck it back to my dorm to get it.  Then when I filled out the printing form and attached the receipt and went back to my dorm and thought everything was good gravy, I realized that I hadn't put my name on the list.  oh lordddddd half an hour of my life gone.

There are three clipping paths and I made that Mickey Mouse and map with my bare hands!  What!

Final Production of Vespa Poster

So this is how my Vespa poster turned out.  It looks pretty boss, too bad it printed out kind of wonky.  I took the critique I got in class into consideration; I made the Vespa come out into the headline and sidebar a little, which makes it look more visually interesting.

I really like how my map turned out!  And I get to make another one for the Marceline pamphlet, alrightttt...!

Vespa Marker Comp

So this is the half-size Vespa marker comp poster. Many things need to be changed. But at least they are small changes, mainly just how the text is justified and not making it so confining. And fixing that jank map.

Fun fact: That Vespa store on Delmar actually exists. It is a place filled with my dreams that I fear will eventually get crushed.
