CCMA....Get dressed up!

Cedar City Music Arts.....a reason to get dressed up sometimes.

desert

i went on a night hike. turns out that can be a little more treacherous than you might first imagine it to be.

todays moodboard was inspired by our local landscape. these towering red rocks, endless blue sky and scrubby bushes are always fascinating to me for some reason.

emphasis on:
"snapshot aesthetic"
texture
warm vs. cool contrast
pattern and line



hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I was thinking how some schools are very strict and some are not at all. And I came from a strict school of karate. We used tape on the floor as markers and distance trackers so that we can make sure we where within parameters, lines where strait, angles were right. They were a point of reference, and during some drills, they were the only point of reference. I wanted to bring this to my project. The idea that tape can influence the way your world is structured.

fullGive (Day 9)

Introducing the aspiring business professional, a new line of fullgive cases designed to give you the confidence and style needed to set you apart from the rest of the monkeys in suits.

easy petals

Warm blossom filled days skipping through clouds and nights sailing along a river of stars. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly for her. Moods change, but circumstances may not. We were all 4 years old once.

texture

i made this one more about the texture of what the drink would be like and came up with smooth (using soft textured cloth) but with an edge to it (the jagged paper).

Day 9

Everyday the floor in the living room of my apartment is usually cluttered with something that relates to a creative side. For the past few days there has been much sewing pursued, so I wanted to capture what you would need for basic sewing needs. Textures of fabrics and utensils to get the job done is definitely something I believe would get the job done.

Sweet Suites

Somehow everything i do ends up relating to candy. The silk swatches are the colors i chose for this mood. Some furniture, packaging, and examples of some products sold in the shop. Oh and digital chocolate art. It a store devoted entirely to chocolate, need i say more...

Day 8

So sometimes my mood board is AWESOME. And when I say awesome I mean cool. And when I say cool I mean untouchable. And what I mean by untouchable I mean that no one but me really knows where I am going or will go next with this. Please stay tuned for the next installment from, Mert-O-Matic.

Childlike

My brand is aimed directly at children and tried to portray their geniune happy character.

How "I" look at music

I wanted to get a straight on view of a few "things" that remind me of the music I listen too, why I listen too it. What motivates one to listen to music, and again how I relate to it.

Cable Table reDesign.009

Last week I mentioned that I am definitely one those people who don't mind things being shown (rather than hidden and tucked away) as long as they are organized and arrange in a pleasing manner. I found some examples in my own room to show what I mean by that.

Freudentisch vs Culture

Color, Culture, Texture

I have always loved the colors of this particular assortment of 'legumes.' It has split peas, red beans, navy beans, lentils, etc. I decided to use that as a palette. It is full of warm, earthy tones that give the feeling of comfort and home. So, what else personifies home? One's culture, of course. I decided to go with the mood of Asian culture, specifically 'Americanized' Asian. To complete the 'home-made, like-mother-used-to-make' feeling I began to investigate the texture of plants. I found this beautiful clump of dried leaves. So, with the color of the beans, the 'Asian-American' culture, and a texture that is straight-from-the-garden, I think there's something here that can speak to people who grew up in an eclectic home. Life may feel busy sometimes, like this picture suggests, but it is all held together by the same recurring feelings of warmth and belonging.

Soothing music for a Tuesday Afternoon

Greetings bloggers and designers.

Today I am attempting to capture something soothing with elements from the ocean with a piece of piano. If anyone is interested I am going to make a soothing music track to listen to for finals week with sounds from the ocean, with rain, nature, soothing music etc. Good things to listen to when you're trying NOT to freak out with everything coming due. This mood board is to remind myself to breathe, relax, take time to nurture myself and live in the moment.

(I scanned this image in so I'm afraid the quality isn't as good as I'd like. The bottom box isn't white, but an image of sand).

funk-a-dunk

Today's mood was FUNK.. I wanted to change my target audience to the youth. The colors and patterns I have be chosen to express a young and fresh feeling.

What Day am I on? : 9/10

I wanted an earthly feeling.

Graffiti Again!

I don't know why I continue to be in the mood for making graffiti type art... but it doesnt really matter to me, because I like it a lot! Anyway this is my kinda mood board art type collage. I drew out different things in the form of graffiti then cut them out then put them all out on a wall again in the general kind of shape of my Glo Logo.

I was thinking that since Altable was such an adaptable product, it could probably fit into most any environment it was placed in. So, today I experimented with how the product would feel in a modern-ish, clean, straight, and angular room setting with neutral brown color schemes.
