Skool Finals

So I jumped the gun on the promotional piece I did earlier in image manipulation, or it was just practice for the final project that the teacher is requiring us to complete for this week, a CD cover:

I wanted to reflect my style within 30 seconds, so I chose high graphic, illustrated looking pieces.  I topped it off with dirty graphics and street style typography, and a color pallet that I use very often in my personal work.  The graphic sunburst on top of the images adds a bit of movement with nice angularity, pushing in and out, and a circular motion subconsciously invoking forward thinking in the viewer.

The current final I am working on now, for concept development, involves a logo design and an ad campaign.  The add will be finished by tomorrow, and posted as soon as possible, but the logo that was due a couple of weeks back (sorry I haven't posted this til now, but I traveling and taking 300 plus photos in Detroit got in the way) is finished:

This is for a small time record store that caters to the non-corporate working class American.  I chose the iconic record symbol of a 45 adapter, used a dirty broken type to give a that working class feel as well as a wax sensation, and a bright construction work yellow to further emphasize the working class subtext that I am pushing and doubling as the color that most 45 adapters are molded in.
