Project: Stylus: September 2009
http://projectstylus.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 30, 2009. A Designer's Eye: Baltimore Harbor Waterkeeper. Even the word "Waterkeepers" looks visibly balanced with the placement of the registered trademark on the corner (similar to where the "W" starts on the opposite side). Finally, the use of complementary colors (blue and orange) for the text really works for me as well. The blue works to encapsulate the cityscape and the orange really draws the reader's eye to it and, ultimately the name of the event. Brandon G. DeStefano.

Monday, January 11, 2010. From the Box Office: Sherlock Holmes. Robert Downey, Jr. continues to impress me with the phoenix-like resurrection of his career, adding another stellar performance to his resume with Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. Playing the title role of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's enigmatic detective only goes to cement his standing among the Hollywood elite and A-list actors. Brandon G. DeStefano. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, May 25, 2010. A Designer's Eye: Typography - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Although it's been a few months, I'm ready to jump back into the saddle and start contributing to the blog-o-sphere again! So, without further ado, here we go. Here are few of the ones that really stood out:. These next two examples I found to be very interesting. Both make use of horizontal lines to break the letters within the design, but each one seems unfinished. In the first example, I fail to see why the designer ...

Monday, November 30, 2009. A Designer's Eye: Starbuck Campaign. Just in time for the season, Starbucks has rolled out their latest campaign for their holiday drinks. I saw these at work ('cause we "Proudly Serve Starbucks Coffee" and therefore have to advertise for them.) and just had to grab a picture of them. The composition is excellent and the contrast in colors make them stand together as a campaign, but apart enough to stand on their own. Enjoy! Brandon G. DeStefano. Saturday, November 28, 2009.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Into the Blogosphere: TheDieline.com. As I was perusing the internet today, looking for something interesting to blog about, I stumbled across this blog dedicated to package design. The site includes not only studies of existing package designs and marketing strategies, but also conceptual redesigns of existing products. Since we just got our grades back for Project 5, I thought that I'd share the link for a little inspiration for revisions. Http:/ www.thedieline.com/. Step ...

Project: Stylus: A Designer's Perspective: Branding & Brand Management
http://projectstylus.blogspot.com/2010/10/branding.html
Monday, October 25, 2010. A Designer's Perspective: Branding and Brand Management. Branding. It's a term that is bandied around quite frequently these days, especially in the world of social media and viral marketing. It's something that has been on my radar for quite a while, as I've been working to "brand" myself and my freelance work to a broader audience. That alone is the reasons I found last week's lecture so useful. Suggest product quality,. Suggest product benefits,. Be distinctive, and. The seco...

Saturday, June 13, 2009. Adobe Illustrator: Pen Tool Workshop - What I Learned. Yesterday, I attended the second of series of design workshops I'm taking this summer in preparation for Grad School this fall. This one focused on one of the more important, yet confusing tools in the Adobe Illustrator Toolbox: The Pen Tool. As with the One-day InDesign Workshop, I found this to be hughly beneficial and a resource that was well worth both the time and money invested. Up Next: InDesign: Type Styles Workshop!

Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Off the Comic Rack - Farscape, Vol. 1: The Beginning of the End of the Beginning. By Rockne S. O'Bannon, Keith DeCandido and Tommy Patterson. Studios - $29.99. As a fan of one of the best science-fiction television shows to debut in the last 20 years, I was understandably distraught when hearing the news that. Although the mini-series managed to tie up a few loose ends, it definitely left me wanting more. Studios had acquired the rights to continue the. In a word, unequivocally!
