Free From and Structure

So in my big updating day (sorry it's been so long, i've been rather busy/lazy), I've got some graphic design work to show. This was for my TMP graphic design class. The whole assignment was about, again, figure ground work and a heavily contrasting interplay of colors and objects.

We used letter forms to create what was supposed to be a highly abstracted composition at the final print. I used the phrase "Help! Help! I'm being repressed!" from Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. I picked the primary colors red, green, and blue. I really wanted the whole thing to blend together when looked at, your eye is not supposed to be able to find one area, color group, or letter form to really focus on. I really like my result.


I decided to try this technique on a possible wedding invitations or program cover for Kara and my wedding. The phrase is "Your my best friend and I love you." from a Weezer song. I tried to make this one a bit more legible, but it's still a bit illegible in places and if we use something like this, I'd clean it up a bit more. I was also thinking of redesigning it so that there is a large section of one color, like if I made the L in love wider, and putting there the specifics about the wedding, date, location and such.
I picked the colors based off our planned wedding colors, light navy blue, cream, and light yellow.

Thanks for looking!

Bek again! I really like the idea of using your art in the wedding - good thinking. :)
