Identity work for a fictitious upscale San Francisco hotel inspired by the San Francisco gold rush. The logo was inspired by the sails of a ship and the Golden Gate bridge, as well, the name "Argonaut" is a reflection of what gold seekers were once known as.

How we display information, by core77

I am intrigued by this shelving display system, a totally custom-built hierarchy based on your needs. I'm liking the forms too. Definitely interesting thoughts for capstone from this one..

Last 3 days of school until 2013... finishing up some studio work..

Visual Aesthetics: what will drive your design. And summed up in two mere words is no easy task. What do I want the essence of this project to be? what experience will the user be having while using the product? Seems a bit abstract to me still, but its the starting crazy and roping it in later that's the key to avoiding dullness. Some thoughts from my notebook:

 

Another favorite thing of mine is the outdoors and not being locked in a room. Even though it is hot. And there is no air conditioning...

So the homework setting for the night:

My wonderful summer-afied porch. Citronella inspires creativity, didn't you know?

Expansion on visual aesthetic and package concept

so its a car we're designing... can be anything. Here, I'm just trying to think around the concept.

This blog will be an attempt to make myself make better graphic presentations

So this capstone thing. We're coming in a bit in the middle, so it will take a while to catch up... 

Initial thinkings...
