improbable monument

these are just random ideas that randomly pop into my head:

rollar coaster made out of pumpkins

monument on the moon/space

monument made out of marshmallows

a giant martini glass in the arctic ocean (perhaps housing a certain species from prey, or a hangout for a certain species)

a giant pig or cow eating a human

i think the idea that i will use for the final is something that i came up with today;

i have always been fascinated by cemeteries (as creepy as that sounds) as well as animals both on land and especially in the sea. My idea is to create Six large tombstones and place them somewhere within the continents (Africa, Asia, South America, North America, Europe and Australia) Carved onto these tombstones will be the names of extinct species within that continent. For the sake of my project I will only be writing the names of mammals because thousands of names probably wouldn't fit in such a small space. I also think this idea will work well with google earth which should be interesting.

i'll blog more as the come to mind..

National Day of Silence 2010 at SFSU

Emily and I decided to take a semi-different route for this project, we decided to use people as the monuments, in order to bring to life the national day of silence. We had people of different races, genders, and sexualities stand in intimate positions for a certain amount of time and then we would film them in order to document the experience. The footage shown is more of smaller groups of people around campus but we had lost the footage of the larger group that would hold their positions and then switch into a different one after the amount of time given. The larger group, I believe, had more of a significant effect because people would stop and ask questions about what was going on or would stop and stare. I think that we should do this again each year and hopefully it will catch on and more and more people will become a part of this monumental event. I liked the concept of of taking the idea of monument and allowing ourselves to become our own monuments that also have a significant impact on the world.

Little Fang Logo

I decided to take a more fantasy route with my logo. It's called Little Fang Night Care which is a "day care" center for the children of vampires. They now have a reliable center that will take care of their children during the long hours of the night when they are working, feeding, partying, ect. I thought that this would be a fun interesting way to make a logo, especially with all the hype that is going o over vampires right now in pop culture. I am going to place this ad/logo at day cares and pass them out at night. Pictures will come later along with more information...I think that this logo is still in progress.

I used illustrator to create a cute, childlike, bold logo as well as i incorporated text to address the name of the company (little fang) and also what they do (night care). I am not used to illustrator so forgive my rudimentary skills but it has really opened my eyes and I want to work with it more.

my logo first sweep

this is only a first sweep at my logo creation. It is the Little Fang Blood Company, however this is not the final outcome..

South Face Logo

(Above is the original North Face logo)
This logo is a re-creation of The North Face brands logo which is mainly clothing for the cold while The South Face brand is clothing for warm weather. :]
