Flier & T-Shirt Graphics

Hey All,
Just posting my flier and t-shirt graphics for all to see, critique, enjoy, etc.

Flier—I put Walker 135 just as a filler location since I made this back in January. This version here is letter size, but I did originally make it in a tabloid size.



















A couple t-shirt graphics I came up with. It's a flexible design so the star shape could be either way. And yes, they look a bit like Shepard Fairey's 'Obey Giant' since I've really been interested in his work/style as of late.




I chose not to use to use the normal Din font that you usually see Co/LAB written in as these aren't as much of a logo and just a graphic. And I tend to get bored with the same typeface all of the time.

Alright, that's my $.02.

Blurb: Self-Service Publishing

Hey guys,

I don't know if you guys in Davis are getting ready for round 2 of the Collab or not, but Tracy twittered this site www.blurb.com and it's basically a self-publishing service that lets you print your own books for a relatively cheap price. After thinking of all the books that I wanted to print from my Design classes, I thought of the Collab. If you guys are still thinking of doing the Collab Process book from last year, this would definitely be a good place to do it.

From how I picture it, we would put the book together on InDesign or whatever, then have Blurb print one copy of softcover and one of hardcover as our "proof" to see how they look. We could fix whatever little things from the proof and print a bunch of copies for other Collabers to purchase as well as anyone who wants to buy it. This will no doubt take about a few months to put together and work through, but if we do this quick enough, we could have the mass copies printed about a month or two before the next Collab Show (assuming that it's held in May again) and sell them as a way of publicizing the next show, much like how the TV and film industries sell DVDs of the previous series movie or season right before the next one comes out or premieres!

So yeah, what do y'all think?
