Vinyl Wall Quotes

I have been applying for Graphic Design jobs here in Salt Lake and one was a wall vinyl company that did quotes for home and office. Unfortunately, I did not get this job, because I have not had enough experience with typography. Honestly, this annoyed me because I have had quite a bit of experience in design. In my opinion wall vinyl quotes are not that difficult to make. Therefore, I created 2 samples to display. I would like to know your opinion on the typeface choice and if you'd buy one of theses. I am going to print these out on vinyl and hopefully someone will have an empty wall to display it. (Let me know if you would want to sample this or a custom quote).

Ghost Opera

Here is another Kamelot concert inspired illustration. There was another female vocalist that sang the opera vocals in the song called the Ghost Opera. So the song is based on a dark theme and if you watch the official video you can see. So I want to get across the solemnity and the sadness of the song. My illustration is in its last stage of corrections, so any advice or comments would be wonderful!

Massage Therapy type face

All right. We are getting down to the wire with this logo. I am showing the woman who owns the company what the type faces looks like with the logo and I put which one I used under her company name. I would love any feedback or advice! Have a Happy Halloween! 

Massage logo

I have been so busy lately working my part time job and then catching a second wind in the evening to work on my art. I am still working on the massage logo and I came up with 3 versions and she chose "c". I went back and smoothed it out some more and showed it again. The next round she wanted heat rocks on the back of the figure and I was a little unsure about it, because I was told it looked like a reptile. Thankfully, she chose "a". Now all I have to do is send it in a package! This has been a very cool experience and I am so happy I am doing a trade for 3 very much needed massages.

A Spirited Mind & Body Logo

This past week I have been working on a logo design for the massage therapy company, A Spirited Mind & Body . I am doing my first trade with the woman who owns the company, Patricia. A logo, for 3 massages. I have posted a few sketches I came up with and Patricia chose 'E'. I am going to start refining it so it is an androgynous figure, because the company does therapy for men, women, and children. 

To explain the logo ideas, the first column is going off the spirit rejuvenation feel after getting a massage. The middle column is the idea Patricia wanted me to work on (the figure lying down). The last column, I wanted to go off the aromatherapy in a spa feel. I played with lavender and vanilla flower since they are the healing flowers. Let me know what you all think about the sketches, and I would love to hear any advice on how to get creative with logo making.

 

profile sketches

So I only did 2 this past week and I am trying to do different kinds of people instead of just 'beautiful' people. Although, everyone has their own personal beauty I believe. That is what I do, find the beauty in everything. I hope you enjoy today's post. I am working on another logo for a massage therapy company and will be posting those soon.

Kamelot Concert 2

I have been working on the piece some more and I am working with my critique group to finish it up. I would also love to hear any feedback from you! Enjoy!
