Finaly project: infographics galore

I have been a big fan of infographics for a long time now and and have always marveled at the ingenuity it takes to make one. Yet someone i never had to bright idea to try and make one myself (maybe due to lack of idea or such). For class though we were instructed to create one. Prefacing this project we did practice working on a grid.
Here's my grid practice:




















Next we started on the infographic itself. The premise for it was that we were supposed to take some kind of story (a day in our lives, a movie, etc.) and then display this information using graphics and small amounts of text. For mine I decided to do something with the movie/graphic novel V for Vendetta. From this I decided to make a infographic from the investigators' point of view and make it a case file. I included things to one side listing details of his MO and the other side included a timeline of V's life known by the investigator's
I'm pretty happy with what I have come up with:


Public awareness poster: be healthy!

For this project we had to come up with a creative solution to encourage people to be healthy in a positive way.
Here are some social awareness posters that caught my while researching them:



















For my poster I played on the idea that smoking is bad for you and used that to insinuate that over eating and unhealthy eating can be just as bad as smoking.
Here is my solution:

Logo project funtime

The next project for graphic design (don't worry I have not forgot about posting my finished symbol design I just simply forgot to scan it) is a logo project. We were instructed to come up with a company and brief for that company in designing the logo for it. My company I chose was a publishing company named AfterWords Publishing. For my logo I created a modified and abstracted interobang (the amalgamation of a question mark and an exclamation mark). After creating the logo we then had to digitize the logo and apply it to letterhead, a business card and envelopes.
The logo scanned:


















The logo cleaned up:


















The business card, letterhead and envelope respectively:
