Persephone

This is my(Brian's) revision of Persephone.  If you do not remember the story, it is about Persephone.  She was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter.  Hades fell in love with Persephone and requested for her hand and marriage to Zeus and got his approval.  He went too literal, and kidnapped her, while she was picking flowers somewhere then took her to the underworld.  Demeter went mad and stopped the harvest and people and vegetation was dying.  then she was demanded to be returned to her mother.  While she was going to be returned, Hades offered her pomengranate seeds to eat.  She ate them, and due to that, she must spend a third of a year in the underworld and the rest in Mount Olympus, which created the 4 seasons, fall,winter,spring,summer.  

time

It's Brian, this is a revision of my time assignment.  If you do not remember, my concept was bread.  I wanted to portray a working class and an upper class family that had a financial yearly decrease whether it was the recession,less income like a pay cut.  The first year shows a large amount and each yearly feast it gets lesser and lesser.

Time's Address

I've still been in a lot of thought about Time. I thought it'd be interesting to see other peoples thoughts on this question I've been mulling over in my mind..


IF Time had an address what do you think it would be?


Thanks!

Sum by David Eagleman

Here is the copy for Olga's assignment for anyone that doesn't have it.



"SUM


        
In the afterlife you relive all your experiences, but this time with the events reshuffled into a new order:
all the moments that share a quality are grouped together.
You spend two months driving the street in front of your house, seven months having sex. You sleep for thirty years without opening your eyes. For five months straight you flip through magazines while sitting on a toilet.
You take all your pain at once, all twenty-seven intense hours of it. Bones break, cars crash, skin is cut, babies are born. Once you make it through, it’s agony-free for the rest of your afterlife.
But that doesn’t mean it’s always pleasant. You spend six days clipping your nails. Fifteen months looking for lost items. Eighteen months waiting in line. Two years of boredom: staring out a bus window, sitting in an airport terminal. One year reading books. Your eyes hurt, and you itch, because you can’t take a shower until it’s your time to take your marathon two-hundred-day shower. Two weeks wondering what happens when you die. One minute realizing your body is falling. Seventy-seven hours of confusion. One hour realizing you’ve forgotten someone’s name. Three weeks realizing you are wrong. Two days lying. Six weeks waiting for a green light. Seven hours vomiting. Fourteen minutes experiencing pure joy. Three months doing laundry. Fifteen hours writing your signature. Two days tying shoelaces. Sixty-seven days of heartbreak. Five weeks driving lost. Three days calculating restaurant tips. Fifty-one days deciding what to wear. Nine days pretending you know what is being talked about. Two weeks counting money. Eighteen days staring into the refrigerator. Thirty-four days longing. Six months watching commercials. Four weeks sitting in thought, wondering if there is something better you could be doing with your time. Three years swallowing food. Five days working buttons and zippers. Four minutes wondering what your life would be like if you reshuffled the order of events.
In this part of the afterlife, you imagine someting analogous to your Earthly life, and the thought is blissful: a life where episodes are split into tiny swallowable pieces, where moments do not endure, where one experiences the joy of jumping from one event to the next like a child hopping from spot to spot on the burning sand."

Pictogram

i revised my pictogram this weekend and wanted to show it

Brochure - Ben Avny - exterior

Hey sorry forgot to post this too. Does the black behind "Paul" and "Renner" help it legibility wise? Is this what you meant by black boxes? thanks.

Brochure - Ben Avny - center circle

Anyone Like this one for the center circle?

Brochure - Ben Avny

Hello

So this my brochure featuring Paul Renner. He was primarily known for creating the typeface Futura.

Since the first time I showed this in class, I spoke with Olga and she told me to make the following changes:
On the interior protion of the brochure, to fix the kerning on all informational text blocks, which I did but you guys tell me if they're ok. Also, to think about the center cirlce with Renner's face and the composition of the title on it (Paul Renner, A Bridge Between Traditional and Modern Design). The one I have in the image of the interior of the brochure now is the original. Olga didn't want his face in red because it made him appear negatively.

On the exterior, I didn't upload what I initially had because right now I'm on my pc at home and I don't have the font I used for the exterior, but simply, I used the Gothic typeface to create a pattern effect to display the contrast between the old Gothic look of German design and the newer futura-esque design. I uploaded 3 options for the exterior of the brochure based on what I talked about with Olga. Let me know what you guys think.

Also, these images are of my brochure as it would be fully opened flat. IT ma be difficult to explain if you haven't seen it already or don't remember, but it opens ups like an armoire? Such that the exterior when closed, would read "Paul" and "Renner" on their flaps from left to right. Hope that helps. Thanks!

The Myth of Sysiphus

The myth I chose for my pictogram is The Myth of Sysiphus, which is essentially about Sysiphus, and how he has been condemned to an eternity of performing a futile task, which is to push/roll as tone to the top of a mountain, only for it to roll right back to the bottom, over and over again by the gods. This was because the gods seemed to think that performing such a futile task repeatedly was one of the most dreadful of punishments. However, Sysiphus acknowledges, and ends up embracing his fate, when he realizes that his fate is his, and his alone. He embraces the absurdity of his fate, realizes that the rock is merely just a 'thing', and becomes joyous over the idea.

My main idea to depit this was the idea of an infinity symbol of sorts, but instead I utilized somewhat of a recycle symbol that you can find on all the bottles of water, soda, or food packaging you may buy each day.

Trisha Rae Wong

Hola, this is for the brochure, I have Jan Tschichold the German Swiss born famous typographer. As Olga said, "he is the reason why we design the way we do today."
This is the inside to one of my flaps.

oop pandoras box is me (cat) of course i forgot to write my name...

pandoras box

the myth i chose was pandora's box, so basically the story is of a box forbidden to be opened but out of curiosity, a girl named pandora opens it and releases all the evils of the world. By closing the box after she saw all of what was released from it, she shuts it close the only thing unable to escape was hope. what i took from this story was that the most essential object HOPE was not let out of the box with the other evils of the world.
