RG Graphic Designs...

These typefaces are the select few that were likened by the class, but think I have my eye on maybe one or two but still need to get the watermark in order to really nail which one for sure.

well I explored with some different types of fonts for my personal typeface, these are just some that caught my eye, sure there's more but I felt these in someway represented me, I liked a few but the class narrowed it down to a select few, so once again these are just some that I liked.

March 14 2018 6:pm Studio Conover Hillcrest Our 4th field trip of for Prof. Pract. class was to a very nice little Studio ran by husband and wife team of Dave and Cecelia Conover, Dave a graduate from Arizona State with a degree in graphic design with 32 years in the graphic design industry runs the brand strategy while his wife Cecelia runs the the very specialized side of the Contexture exterior design side of the business. Dave was a very nice gentleman that I had the pleasure of meeting once before last evening at the UDA workshops, he was very nice, friendly, quick to come up and introduce himself, asked me what my progress level in the graphic design program and asked me my aspirations once I finished and graduated from the program, it was very pleasant that night conversing with him as well as listening to his words of wisdom and experience in the 32 years of vast designing world. I picked lots of little tidbits from his talk last night all inspiring. one thing he said al...

Hey all here is my bland color pallet, I know its not bright, cheery, or elaborate colors but I am mostly a dark colored person and tend to always sway to those colors as my favorite over any other. even in my personal clothing of choice I tend to sway that way as well, but with that being said here is my color pallet. My personal favorite is the 3rd one down from the top, but with the class positive critique the choices were any one of the blacks, the 2nd grey from the top and the last blue at the bottom.

 Well not sure if its done right, I took a look at a few examples so hopefully it's in the right direction ? but none the less here is my Creative Brief.

Steve was our presenter this evening, Steve in the owner of the company for which he took over from his father, ISA has been in existence for over 30 years a little out of the way placed tucked in a small simple strip mall in the city of El Cajon, Ca. with little to no major signage of their own to make them stand out as being who they are, ironic since they are a signage company, Steve and his company have done work and do work for Major corporations but small ones also, some major corporations are company's such as Ruth Chris Steakhouse, Coldwell Banker, Nokia and Sempra Energy, some smaller ones may be some realty companies or banks here locally but they do work Internationally as well as other states.

John Ball was our speaker, John is the Partner/Creative Director for MiresBall with 30 years in the industry with experience in working with Really big well name corporations, Intel, Shure and Ballast Point just to name a few. one thing i really like was a presentation he made for a client where he used an example of the graphic design industry was "Love and Money' you may do projects or works for free for a company that's the (Love) aspect, love for creating new designs and just simply for the love of  creations, sometimes you do projects or works for pay, that's the (Money) aspect, sometimes you get both together you design your designs for both the Love and the Money aspect together.
