Elle
I worked at Elle for the day on Friday. I comped up some spreads and did the layout for this advertorial that they are going to present to Burt's Bees to promote a new line of products for sensitive skin. I liked the illustrator they used; Yoco. I want to do some more rough fashion-y illustrations to put in my portfolio. That would be awesome to get a job doing illustrations for a Magazine like Elle. The scripty type I used I have never used before. I found it when I was perusing what they had in their font manager; Aphrodite. I love it when scripty type faces have a bunch of really good glyphs. That's why my favorite is probably Semilla, but I wish it came in different weights.

Polka Dot
With bright reds, greens, and yellows, 'Polka Dot' captures a moment in time. Notice the interesting folds and creases in the patterned textiles. Notice Kandinsky's 'Landscape with Red Spots, No. 2' in the background. The unusual use of color and line transform an ordinary, almost drab, moment to a rich smorgasbord of visual information. 'Polka Dot' is an example of the way a boring moment in time can be transformed into something special after it passes through the lens of the artist's eye.
This piece is 9.75 x 21.
