Well, as you can see opposite - if you're viewing this at the actual blogsite and if not, GO VISIT immediately and double my readership - the teaser is up for the next Highlander event I'm involved with. It'll take place in April 2009 and the 'City of Angels' and enlarged letters in the logo may just give you a clue as to where.
The design took a while to put together and once again the trick was to give the logo an association with Highlander itself: hence the sword shape. But it is only one element of the whole launch image and event title which should be online sometime over the weekend. These events take a lot of planning and it's early days, but all the essential pieces are in place and given the cancellation of two key events in the US this year, this should hopefully restore the faith of the...well, faithful!
Still in a Highlander vein, this is... ahem, interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swVrD2Mv7Lk
Plenty of other designing work to do for various people and writing to keep me busy in the meantime.
Most bills paid, some loose change added to the Travel Fund jar and it's a Friday. So things going okay, if not spectacularly. :)
That graphic is GORGEOUS!
Thanks, Gillian. Yup, that's the first design for the event, the second evolves out of that and is coming shortly.
Journalism keeps me busy, but design makes my heart glad - and I'm hoping to expand out my design portfolio in the months to come.
Hope Comic-Con was fun.
