Brother Mouzone Sends His Love

Here’s what I imagine a fictional postcard from Brother Mouzone would look like if sent from the great city of Baltimore.  I imported images I found on the internet into Photoshop, erased existing text, roughed them up with dust/scratches filter and proceeded to add Brother Mouzone’s hand writing.  I periodically …

How Much Are Those Mercedes Going to Cost?

Another design assignment I completed was “Design and Invoice.” For this one I wanted to relate it to The Wire episodes we watched this week. Using word  I created the invoice. First, I considered the different items to put on the invoice. Now I know the job Ziggy did for …

PJ & SB Goods

I did the assignment The Ultimate Merger, worth 3.5 stars. I wanted to make this Wire related since Proposition Joe and Stringer Bell are in a deal with each other now. So what I came up with is a “package” logo, featuring both of them. I found a package …
