Isis Poster Idea & Old Sharpie Ad


Isis is about to release their new album 'Wavering Radiant' in May so they are planning on doing some touring and on June 9th, they are coming to the Grog Shop in Cleveland, Ohio. I haven't posted any of my concert posters on here yet, but concert posters are my favorite thing to do. So I occasionally make some and put them up at the Grog Shop or wherever the venue is.
I just started this poster the other day, I wanted to have an optical illusion having to do with the crosses where the image is much clearer farther away. The image is supposed to be a skull made up of different tints of grey. I hope it works, I am thinking about adding more crosses so I can make them smaller which would give me the opportunity to add more depth to the image. I'll keep working on it, but this is the poster so far.


And also, for my team ad class we had to do an ad campaign for Sharpie. I focused on 'youth' as the target audience so I put together a fun image of someone drawn all over with Sharpies in different colors, playing off the idea of fake tattoos.

WESC Ad Series




For my series for my ad class I chose, WESC headphones.
WESC's headphones are one of their most popular products and the regular street versions of the product usually come in solid colors so I thought I would base my series off of that.
I wish I would have spent more time on it though, I originally was going with another idea and then I changed my mind almost last minute and went with something I was more comfortable with and could process more ideas for, but for what I did, I am fairly happy with it.
I feel like I have to experiment more with Illustrator though, I've been playing it safe.
