(these were my backup board layouts) I liked them as well...

i cant get the the boards i had in critique to post.

I started off this project with researching graphic design, and designing graphic layouts based on my findings. I found some very engaging layouts in the books "100 Habits of Great Graphic Design" and "Creating Impact With Text and Images." From these books I gained insight on how to create an engaging layout. I used photos of sunflowers as layout guides and sample texts to use as a 'master guide' for my work. From the sunflower layouts I created my final designs for the boards.

To remind you of my target market.... 25 to 45 year olds, single adults and start up familys. These are people who want to bring a natural touch to their bare space, or update thier home with timeless peices. these peices fit most anywhere. The homes of the peices are characterized by people who purchase them. This design was centered around Blair. Blair, 20, is still enyoing ther collegic years at the Kansas City art Insitute majoring in photography. She has recently decided to move in with her 'serious' boyfriend Sean. Her character is defined by a social personality, and love for being behind the camera. Her favorite thig to do is shoot natural obects, at an up close and personal level with the macro lens. her style in the prints she produces also reflects her love for organization and naturally occuring geometry. That eye for natural organization has lead her to Dyne. These boxes were inspired by Blair but also by Mark Rothko, which gave them their name. His bos paintings spured the inspiration behind the boxes designs. color and material choices were based on his paintings of abstract expressionism.
