My first project in Graphic Design 1 was to design three logos. One of them were to represent your personality, something unique about yourself. The second was to symbolize the meaning of your name. The third was a monogram using your initials.
I’m no good with symbols, and I had a lot of trouble with the assignment. The meaning of my name—Christine Mørck Røde—is respectively “follower of Christ” or “savior”, “dark”, and “red.” I wasn’t about to do anything relating to Christianity, which left me with “dark red.” And how the fuck do you create a symbol representing a color?
In the end, I ended up interpreting “dark” to mean evil, and red to mean…. well, a red panda. The result can be seen above. This is the only one of my logos I am satisfied with, although it could use some refining.
The symbol was hand-drawn, hand-inked and then scanned in—no Illustrator.
Guerilla poster project #1b.
The following week we did a second round. In addition to putting up more of the original posters, we also spread these notes all around school, both in random locations and right next to the other ones.
Guerilla poster project #1.
Somehow this personal project spun out of ridiculous conversations with my boyfriend. We’ve been printing out series of posters and putting them up all over school in the middle of the night.
I’ve had several people come up to me at random times, telling me how, “You made that poster, right? Everyone were totally talking about it in class!”
Every time you ejaculate, you murder between 30 and 400 million potential babies.
In comparison, approximately 11 million people died during the Holocaust.
So please, think of the babies, and save your holy sperm for reproduction purposes.
You don’t want to be the next Hitler, do you?
Poster that I designed for Lifestock ‘10, a music festival in Riverside organized by my boyfriend and his friends.
he’s my favorite
a valise that functions as a shrine for the past semester. suitcase from the ’50s from urban ore. i ripped out the moldy lining, screwed in shelves, covered the inside in pages from nylon and a 1992 rolling stone, then decorated it with items and pictures that are in some way meaningful to me.
and here’s the final project, a series of posters for a fictional exhibition for photographer David LaChapelle at the SFMOMA. i also designed a promotional cube for this, but that doesn’t really matter. these are cooler.
i guess i never got around to posting my two last graphic design projects. here’s a book cover i designed. it’s got flaps and a backside too, but i don’t have pictures of those, and it doesn’t look as cool as a photoshop screencap.
