Finally the End!

So, school is winding down and one by one classes are ending and it feels great. Today I finished with my Type, Image and Visual continuity class (graphic design) and i have to say i am particularly proud of my final project that we turned in today. We have had 3 weeks to work on it and I, of course, started yesterday. I finished at about 6 am this morning and was a little nervous for what my teacher was going to say but he loved it :) yay! So I decided to post my final project on here along with a couple posters from the designer (Claude Kuhn) who I drew my inspiration from.

The concept for this project was the idea that the Mayan and other Mesoamerican cultures believe that the world is going to end on December 21.2012 so we decided do a poster on the end of the world and what we would say to everyone if we knew the day the world was ending so here is my poster:


Claude Kuhn is probably my favorite of all the poster designers that i am familiar with. He makes a living off of designing 2 posters a year for the museum of Natural History in Bern Switzerland which i was fortunate enough to go see while i was studying abroad there last summer. His designs are all vector based and the colors he uses are what attracts me to them in the first place but above that, his over all designs and concepts for the posters themselves are genius! So here are a few of my favorite posters he has designed:
