Candy Box Colors

Updates

Still working on my typography, but I figured I'd post something:

I changed the type on my headline and picked a secondary type that I think is easier to read.  I'm also working on a different color scheme for the box.

For the typography booklet, I am doing movie quotes.  I figured maybe I could do some sort of drawing pertaining to each movie... here's a sample of what each page would look like.  I was also thinking that I might just lay out all the type together in a poster and make it look like advertisements out of a newspaper spread.

Editorial Design Edits

I went back and edited my work below.  Here are the results:I definitely like this better than the illustration, but I can't create a realistic space helmet for the life of me...

Editorial Design Work 1

Unfortunately, I've been really busy this week but I wanted to post my progress on the editorial design assignment.  I'm looking to do one layout using photography, one using a collage and one that is illustrated.  Here is the illustrated one.  I know it needs work... maybe someone has suggestions? And yes, this is a real article.  You can read it here.  

Here is another layout I'm working on for an article called "When Ambassadors Had Rhythm," about how in the 1960s we used to send famous jazz players to other countries on various tours to spread goodwill.  Again, you can read the actual article here.
