Prism cover ideas

This cover idea is one I actually came up with on a 3 hour bus ride after a double-header this weekend on the way to Virginia Beach. I thought for just a little bit and wanted something colorful. I wanted something colorful and I wanted something that illustrated different ways in which color can appear. I came up with 3 different ways to use display the same color palette which ultimately represents the different perspectives of a prism. So, here it is :)

For the first time instead of thinking...thinking and more thinking for ideas, I just started drawing what I wanted to see for this Prism cover. The title needs tweeking but I am satisfied with the flowers and the layout. This cover option is working for me. Since Spring is approaching I have been inspired by flowers. As I look at photos and real flowers in nature, I am starting to see so much character and personality in them. I see flowers and blooms with the Prism cover because the Prism includes written pieces from a multitude of students here at Peace College. Being that a prism portrays the different perspectives of one object, I think flowers are appropriate being that their wonderful rich, bright colors and breeds can have so many different interpretations and meanings. More idea's to follow :)

Declare your Major Poster 1

More Fetal Alcohol poster drafts!

I am secretly hoping this is the final poster for this particular idea. I doubt this is true, but hopefully!

This poster needs some revising but this is what I have so far! I would have liked to of printed onto a recycled paper bag material but since the poster is so large I am just going to show you what that might look like by cropping similiar paper in :) I am not sure how I feel about the D being a part of the liquid and how well the type reads but I will work on it :)

This is my newest poster idea...I got my sister to pose for me :) This poster is aimed to appeal towards a younger generation (high school and college). I used the text abbreviation "B4" as opposed to "before". I am going to keep trying this idea out. My current thoughts are that the bottom line is hard to read...and is it necessary? Also, I want to try a different treatment because I think the shattered glass is hard to see. Lastly, I think I want to take another picture where my model's pants are dropping to her ankles.
