Social Dancing, final art

This is my final art for the social dancing 2-page magazine spread.  It turned out a lot better than i thought it would have!!  I'm really glad i chose to use a two column layout on the second page as well i think it looks a lot better than just a big block of type.  The first page was a little stale, and i looked for another image or a pull quote, but the internet's a little empty and the copy itself was pretty boring and had nothing pull quote worthy, so that's that. But, yes, all and all i thought it was a pretty solid layout, easy to read, good flowing text and a pretty good image to compliment the article.

Marceline Comps

                                                                     So, these are my Marceline pamphlet scans, i really had the same idea for all of them so they are not all that original.  I was focusing on the path the reader's eye would take when they picked up the phamplet.  I actually made little dummies of all the phamplets, that's why the scans may look a little funny.  I think making the dummies helped a lot in seeing how the final product would end up looking.  The middle one will be taken into production.  It will not include the middle horizontal fold however and will be a roll fold. That is all about these, i would also like to add, i did not like making them AT ALL!!!!

Auto Show Poster

This is the half size marker comp for my "ride" poster.  The mountains did not come out as nice as I would've liked them too, and don't even get me started on the car.  I can't draw a car to save my life!  It was suggested to me during review of these comps that the "Classic Auto Show" text be bannered across the top, and the date and location remain where they are.  I thought it was a pretty good suggestion, but the person going over my original should've suggested it, or picked another poster with that idea.  This was the only problem I had with this particular poster, the wide open space up in the top left corner.  I will be playing around with this when I am working up the final design on the computer.  

The final poster will probably have the car a little higher, the mountains will be slightly higher too as well as filled in more.  the mountains look really good close up, the marker made an interesting texture.  I would like to see this texture larger, so people far away can see it better.  I will either blow this drawing up or perhaps play around with watercolors and then scan those images in.  And as much as I would like to change the text, i really can't do much.  I will make up a copy of what the poster would look like if the auto show text were to be placed on the top; but i think i will be making enough slight moderations, that the empty space up top will disappear.
