Wild Wild West

This was taken in the west, I think near Yellowstone Park but I can't remember.

I kept going back and forth over what I wanted to do with this image.  I really wanted to turn it into a mystical scene, and probably will do that later.  I thought about turning it into a snow scene, but everything was already blended so much, I couldn't blend it the way I wanted to without spending a lot more time on it.

My next few posts will be past graphic design projects I did because I am giving my portfolio a complete make-over.  The projects I post on here will be the ones that won't make it on to the new site.  I'm also re-branding myself and designed the logo today!

I think branding myself has been one of the harder things to do.  Everybody has an opinion and my personal logo is one where I simply have not been able to get everyone to agree.  That's pretty typical in general, but most of my projects have had a majority vote.  I think that when self-branding, though, you have to go with what you like.  You have to be happy with it.  You're your own client.  It's weird.  So I've gone through a few transitions with my logo.  My current logo is alright, but it wasn't the initial concept and I finished it this way for graduation, not because that's how I liked it.  This time, I did it my way.



If you've lasted this far down this post, I will give you a little sneak peak of what's to come.  I'm not fully satisfied with this yet, so it's still a work-in-progress.  I'm really excited about what it'll become, though!
