Typography project:  Make a presidential Campaign poster.  I choose Barack Obama, obviously, and I wanted to keep the image very clean and simple while displaying 3 obvious hierarchies of type.  I like the image of the sun peeking over the top of the hill/earth.  to me it symbolizes a new day, new hope, change... all of which goes with Obama's campaign.  the colors I chose are very eye pleasing and a bit of a stray from the usual red and blue.  They are complimentary colors of red and blue though, and compliments to themselves.  GO BARACK!
Typography project.... Quote from the Dead's Mississippi Half Step
I was told by a bad ass art director who works at bad ass Crispin Porter in Boulder that I needed to actively feed my subconscious in order to stay creative.  This is the picture that came to my mind, so I drew it.... inspiration: Seymor of  The Rocky Horror Picture Show
