ATG Sketch/Doodle/WhatNot/Scraps Thread

[Sentama Lin]

I've realized that we don't really have a general place to share works of art that's not quite large enough for its own thread, and yet not small enough to be insignificant to share. We all have little doodles that we want to share and show off for laughs, or perhaps for actual critiques. It may be nice, then, to have a thread to show off these "doodles" of sorts.

It doesn't have to be restricted to a visual art. If there are songwriters, singers, instrumentalists, dancers, or any type of small little artistic doodle that wants to be shared, this is a place. :3

I don't need to tell you all, but be respectful to the doodles and the doodles' owners. Give comments if wanted. :3

Draft of Choir Tour Posters

My choir, in its genius, didn't keep any money for PA purposes so they asked the students to make posters. I decided to try my hand at it and here's what I came up with. This is a draft as of 2008-2-29:

 

[Thaliat Everwood]

I like the sleekness of the poster design!  

[God-Raped-Me]

I like it. It look classy yet modern, if you know what I mean. It would totally catch my attention!

 

[Sentama Lin]

Two more posters. My choir director liked the first one so much and since she very much hates the posters the school makes for performances she asked me to make another one for this next concert. These two are drafts; I haven't decided which one I'm going to use:

Well, as I already stated on dA, I prefer the one with the stylized cross. It helps to bring the different elements together. Not to mention that I can't read the script in the other one.  

[Kerrigan_dragon]

I like them both, but I'd have to say that I much prefer the first one. 3nodding  

[Alarias]

I agree with those two...first one is the way to go 3nodding

So, yeah, Lin mentioned something about business cards last night (read: Early this morning) which prompted me to post this. It's a calling card I've been working on the past couple of days.

So, say stuff, or not, doesn't really matter.

Oh, and don't call me. It's ******** annoying and ticks me off.  

[Sentama Lin]

The card is very you in style, I like the cleanliness of it.

The only thing that throws me off slightly is the text on top (your email and whatnot). Though I'm not sure if it will help my eyes, perhaps some empty padding for that information would help make it seem less odd. It just seems too close to the edge of the card.  

[124-C]

It's very close to the edge, practically touching it. The placement of the contact info is what I've been having the hardest time settling. Do you think it would be better if I use the same margins for that as I did my name at the bottom?  

[Sentama Lin]

It would be better, though I'm not sure if there's a way to make it totally work. I can see why you're having trouble placing it; I'm having difficulties with my card as well (especially dealing with the annoying CD hole).

Anyways, I think the same margins as your name on the bottom will help immensely. Other than that it's just moving it around.

Also, what fonts did you use. The contact font looks like a italicized Euro-styled font.  

[124-C]

I'll play around with placing info on one of those CDs and see what I can figure out. What are you thinking? Home phone, cell, work, fax, email, web-address, home/office address...

I used NewMedia Fett Kursiv for the contact info and RedStar for my name. Both are free for personal use, which I assume includes calling cards, though business cards may be different.  

[Sentama Lin]

I actually found a way to do around with the holes: don't use them altogether. I just realized it might just be better to make sleeves for those cards. But I'll keep playing around with my sketchbook and other things. I'm thinking, at the very least, cell phone and email address. I would put in my (future) website as well but that's getting a bit much.  

[124-C]

I don't really like that idea. If you're going to do that, you may as well just skip using the small CD all together. Actually, it would be kind of cool to use a transparent sleeve or small envelope with extra info that interacts with the info on the card itself. Maybe make a logo that fits into the center cutout.

Anyway, there's plenty of room around the hole for the info. These, of course, are just quick mock-ups. I've got one good idea I want to try out.

Font is Rational Integer.

[EDIT] It looks really shitty, but it gets the idea across, I guess...

Gotta wonder how MS Word can word wrap but Photoshop can't. Can it?
