New Year 2010 (E-Greeting Card)

I made this print design using Adobe Photoshop, and it served as an e-greeting card during the celebration of the Year 2010’s coming. It was one of my naïve tosses toward graphic designing, and the technical amateurism is made obvious by the simple shapes and by the modest use of black and white throughout the design.

As seen above, there are three comparative circles underscoring that each circle represents only one person with a train of temper. The first two circles are supported by texts underneath them, and the third circle only has simple icons above it. The first circle depicts a lethargic person who is calling the attention of the Year 2010 while the second circle depicts an antagonistic person who is claiming his possession over the Year 2010. One the other hand, the third circle isn’t supported by any text, but it essentially completes the message of the whole design.

What is the message? Enjoy the visual narration. :-)

(BTW, I've already deactivated my Tumblr account since I was no longer using it. I didn't want to take up unnecessary virtual space cum online garbage) I say har-har.

Spell Smoking Print Ad

This is an original concept by yours truly. The initial design was used for my Desktop Publishing class when I was still in college (like yesterday woooaw). I decided to change some of the effects and turned it to a smoky black-and-whitish illusion depicting the grave message of the print material.

Fogy letters were used to enhance the visual appeal and to reinforce the realistic depiction of the cigar’s smoke effects.The hand stayed faithful to the original piece and was not altered. The hand made use of the cigar as a pen, and it spelled out the main idea of the advocacy.

Yes, smoking spells your fate.

You spell your fate.
