We were given various projects based on the History of Graphic Design. One is this Printers Mark. I chose sunflowers because they're my favorite flowers & they always look so happy, a phonograph because I collect them & 78 RPM records, & a film canister since I have an obsession with classic film (mostly pre-code Hollywood films). My initials are on the phonograph in the same typeface I use for my branding.
My favorite professor gave us this assignment the second semester I was there. I had never used a design program in my life & went through all the learning / growing pains with this assignment. The only thing I've done to this is crop the photograph correctly. It is a creative commons licensed photo that I used, just added the saturation effects & cropped it. I still like looking at this assignment & the book is lovely too. One Hundred Years in Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The 2nd book is Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. I used scans of fabric & my hair in a braid for the cover, then illustrated over it after adding some textures.
