I did a few of my preliminary sketches for the convergence logo while we were speaking with Steve. I've got some cheesy ideas which have to be in the mix of course. More sketching must come to develop stronger pieces that will actually work. (One of them included a camera lens as the "O" in "convergence."
I'm a little overwhelmed that our final versions of the prototype are due next Monday. Two huge projects in one weekend. I never thought it would come to this. I really would like to do a lot more on the Meredith stuff, but at this point, it's going to have to be minor revisions.
Of my rough designs, this is my preferred cover design. I'm going to tame the logo somehow (probably less color). I will find a better picture. I will use only two colors other than black and white in my sell lines. It's just too much right now.

The rest of these are my variations on a theme. The above items are the preferred rough drafts. Below are the others.

On visiting Molly: It was a fun experience, I say. I liked the party setup. She could be a great party designer if that's what she wants to do! After seeing the zine in class today, I can understand why she would stick with it. When she was talking on Thursday about how she works for nothing and has all her work changed on her, I thought it was absolutely crazy. I mainly thought that because I pictured it as a tiny, twine-bound zine that gets handed out on the corner that all of 200 people will read. It's actually a glossy that looked pretty cool. Maybe I should have asked her about the magazine before she told us about her work experience. She is getting clips, and if that's the genre of magazine she wants to work for, then it can't be too long before someone is willing to pay her to do it. Best of luck to her.
