Website and Thesis Paper Epiphany

So I have been struggling with the idea of the website. I know I need to sell something online, but I really didn’t know how it would work because all the clothes are one of a kind and couldn’t really be ordered in different sizes. SO I have decided to treat it like Steep and Cheap, where one item is sold at a time until its gone and then another one pops up. The only difference is that it is one item at a time and there are not multiples of it.

I have decided for my thesis paper I am going to turn it into a magazine with “articles” about my project. If it is turned into something graphic I get to design I am way more excited about writing the material. I finally feel like I am excited about my thesis paper! Plus I have wanted to design a magazine of some kind for a long time, so PERFECT!! (Frank: if you are reading this I am going to come in a talk to you on Monday about this idea. I have some sketches to show you.)

And here is a necklace tag design. Not done yet but I think I am sold on the shape.

Photo Shoot 1

All photos by MEGAN COOK
Some have been edited in Photoshop and some have not. These are just preliminary. Oh and we have more photoshoots to go on in a more urban setting.








More Logo Biz....

I really like the use of the textures and I plan on carrying it throughout the identity. These are possible ideas for signage. We went on a photoshoot last weekend and got some awesome pictures, but still need more. I will post some of the best ones. I am still trying to work out how to use each picture and see if there are any others that I need. ALL PHOTOGRAPHY IS BY MEGAN COOK. and she is awesome!


Web Moc Up

Presentation

It went well, but there are some kinks I need to work out. Here are some of the images from the presentation.

Fairy Subscription Mother

I believe I have a fairy subscription mother(s) out there. I have been getting Transworld for three years now and have not actually subscribed to that magazine since high school. I filled out a subscription card for Health magazine, but I pinned it to the wall because I didn’t have the money to send it in, but somehow I have been getting that one for about a year and a half now. And a Vogue showed up in the mail box today!!! I was so excited! I usually pick the long line at the grocery store so I have enough time to flip through it, but I guess it is a good one to have around the house especially now.

So anyway THANK YOU FAIRY SUBSCRIPTION MOTHER!!!

Ahhhh More Logo Process!

Started here.....
Went to here...
Ended here...
I love it, but i will have to see what my class and my professor says about it. i like it because it has script in it but it is also readable. it is elegant, classy and fun, also i pieced together different typeface which represents what the store is about (altering).
