I Love You Saul Bass



You are still so relevant to so many young adult lives…
I was reading a blog post about a girl in Williamsburg who contracted herpes and accused a guy she had recently unprotected sex with of giving it to her. He obviously ignored her. So she plastered his picture all over the neighbourhood.

My self-promotional packet for the creative mixer last night

this acted as my business card for the night.

recto

when the sheet is folded, the front is the upper left hand corner with the typography.
the subtitle is 'hey baby!', next to the salacious legs. once unfolded, it gradually reveals all the other legs.

verso

the envelopes they came in.

Experimenting with 'Inking'




Coloring: Trying the Primaries




'The Color Index' was really helpful for inspiration in choosing color palette.
I didn't want to loose the spontaneity of drawing, so I decided to experiment with filling in areas with a wand.

The colors really made this composition 'pop'. I will post an older version a little later.

My friend commented that this looks very 'Dr. Seuss'. If that's a result of referencing so much Saul Bass, all the better then! I'm liking Saul Bass more and more.

I've found that I'm very drawn to House Industries fonts. I really need to take a typography/type design class (after comparing my hand drawn 'what's your story' and the one seen here)

Is it looking a little school bus? Or does that not bother anyone?
The O's, R's and S's look too similar! I have to change it, don't I?
