This is a title redesign I made for my typography class. The assignment was to take a movie or television show's logo, and improve upon it. Naturally, I decided to work with one of my favorite movies, Dead Alive (or Braindead, if you prefer.)
I never did like the original text used for the title, the green with purple-ish outline hardly represents the movie in all its bloody brilliance. My rendition, I feel, works much better. The idea behind it was to balance the relationships of the words "dead" and "alive" so that they reflect the horror and comedic aspects of the film.
Not much to do tonight, so I guess I'll watch some movies. I bought this^ not too long ago, as I rather enjoyed the first one. The sequel doesn't look too bad, so here's hoping it shares at least some of what made the original good..
On a different topic, here are some drawings..
self portrait charcoal on paper meh.. it's not very good.
The following are from a series of drawings that I made last year. More or less, they illustrate what I went through during a week in which I had a head cold.
Slowly, I've been building upon ideas for a comic. I'm still in the developing stages, but I thought I'd share a small bit. Hopefully I'll have something soon
Nearly a month has gone by since my last post. Do I have anything new to offer? Not really, but I do have this..
- update.March12 - To elaborate, the drawing I posted is based on a short story I wrote a few years ago, entitled "Winston McFly," which details the adventures of an "insecticide" detective. It's always been a thought of mine to fully illustrate the imagined world that I created, but I've not been able to reach what I think is an appropriate visual style to complement my story. I think that with this drawing however, I'm beginning to realize the look I've long imagined.
