Vis Comm works

Back to work with ol' Vis Com again. We've been assigned the following designs.


Full-page Newspaper Article Page Design

In keeping with the food theme we are currently working on... I have a new design.
A full-page, 4-color newspaper article about Ramen noodles and creative recipes for their use. Information appropriate for college students, right. Should be fun and something you can practice your studio photography skills. Find the Lets Eat layout shell Folder on my public folder for the layout shell. The space on the page not already used is for you to work with. You will be shooting photography for this design - just a reminder. NO ACQUIRED images!
Budget:
Layout and Design - 3.0 hrs
Final Art production - 1.0 hrs
Artwork/graphics/illustrations - 3.0 hrs

Total 7: hours
For Friday, I want to see initial layout thumbnails and for Monday, I want to see your initial photography. I will be making judgements upon the pics to determine if reshooting is needed. The thumbnail layouts (sketches) will help determine what you need to shoot.

Wick Fowler's Famous 2-alarm chili

We talked about this in class on Friday before break.
I need concept posters and ads and a label design for this well-known product. This chili is known for it's hot and spicy nature. They are proud of it. We are promoting the product and developing a label to stand out on supermarket shelves. Consumers of spicy chili are already sold on the product but the client wants to introduce the product to those who might be first timers and/or those who are timid about the heat. They want converts without alienating the existing customer base.
Here are the specs:
Poster Series: 3 posters, 4 color, one side - size: 15 inch x 21 inch
Layout and Design - 3.0 hrs
Final Art production - 2.0 hrs
Artwork/graphics/illustrations - 3.0 hrs

Ad Series: 3 ads, 2 color (black and one spot) - size: 3 column (newspaper column) x 10 inch - ask me about this...
Layout and Design - 1.0 hrs
Final Art production - 1.0 hrs
Artwork/graphics/illustrations - 1.0 hrs

Label: 4 color - size to be determined by the container size you choose
Layout and Design - 5.0 hrs
Final Art production - 2.0 hrs
Artwork/graphics/illustrations - 3.0 hrs
Find and rebuild their logo in Illustrator.
I want concept ideas and thumbnails on Wednesday 16th.
Total budget: 21 hours

I have had way more success in generating concepts, and am just now getting to the execution of the concepts. More on the way.
