I just saw this thread. Good show, old boy. I really like the sophisticated yet simple layout of the site.

Here's a medical poster warning about the dangers of mercury poisoning. There is a lot of stuff in this poster that I wasn't comfortable with, but as a designer we tend to fall into the same old habits, so I forced my self to get out of that rut and do different things. For example, the poster says "Mercury Poisoning", but I put poisoning ontop of mercury. I was afraid that people might read it as "Poisoning Mercury". But I let the rules of design work in my favor. Your eye first hits the skull then move to large and brightly colored mercury, which is reinforced by the dotted line, which then takes you towards poisoning.

The skull was made in photoshop by manipulating an existing image. It is a halftone image, but not your average bitmap style. See if you can guess how I did it.

It's hard to see in the little jpg (the original is 19x13), so I provided a detail of the skull.

These are the cover and the chapter spreads for a book I made, the original sizes are 7x17, and as usual there was a loss of color quality when converting for the web, the originals are darker/richer.

If you're curious, its an art book filled with peices I did inspired by the characters/locations of brother's grim fairy tale, it ended up being fifty spreads.

This are parts of a much larger project, designing stuff for a restaurant. Here are three of the menu covers and one half of an actual menu.

Its a french restaurant, Merveilleux is french for marvelous, I got the name from sky gunner, and I used pictures of Napoleon for the covers. As usual, the original is not this light.

These are website mock ups I did late last night for class.

See if you can guess how I did it.

how?

Color halftone filter applied to a grayscale file produces uniform circles, then you convert it to rgb, put the picture you want to use on a new layer, I used threshold on the image to make a solid white shape (you can choose your own method for this), change the blend mode so the circles show, then I made a new layer above it filled with a color, then changed the blend mode so it colored the circles.
