I just finished studying and I've been slacking too. So hard to find a job during the holiday period down here. I'm gonna try to be more active in this thread from now on

I'll start posting up some more work. Gotta snap out of that mindset. Some of my proffessors were brutal with the feedback, so that kind of threw me off.
Peeped your site, good stuff! The Allergy Book and that Senior Show Poster are
@saNTI0321 Thanks for the kind words bruh, I preciate cha. Yeah crits are tough when you get fisted
It makes you stronger tho so just keep trucking. Your tokyo identity mark is pretty cool, I could easily tell the building that you referenced in Tokyo.
The horizontal rule that separates the english from the japanese is rounded at the ends. Every other line in the mark is a hard edge, so I would consider making it square instead of rounded for consistency.
Also I'm curious about the type choice and the reasoning for the different font weights for the japanese, english and the icon. To clarify, the stroke on the line in the circle is different from the stroke weight in the english type, which is different from the rule, which is different from the japanese.
I'm not sure how much room you'll have for kerning, the word Tokyo is pretty hard to do with all caps unless you widen it up. But maybe play with it, i'm probably wrong. lol

Keep up the good work!

@Mitchellicious I know man, it's a struggle.

Posting for later.
I'm a photographer, I get a lot of clients requesting design work, whether it be flyers, logo design, etc. I have both Ps and Ai on my computer. I gotta learn the basics and try to put some things together.
Also, if anyone here can help redesign my site www.theopticool.com, PM me. Wouldn't mind throwing out some bread on good work, and getting a nice port section.

Yea. I got mine off of Blick's Art Supplies. The black one though. They're solid. Just make sure you order enough sleeves/extension for what you need. I bought the one where I can just print out and slip in an 11" x 17" sheet of paper.
They're nice and convenient and can bring them anywhere.
I say get a flat color and then get the cover laser etched with your logo/name/face

It's a layering effect. I am sure you can just photoshop it but you can also achieve it with a DLSR that has that feature. Usually you shoot the portrait in direct light and then shoot some sort of landscape in normal light.
These are examples of it:

The Karl Kani logo I designed ended up on a piece of clothing Rihanna wore, small but I was pretty excited about it. She is by far the most famous person to wear something with something I designed on it. If any other web/graphic designers want to connect, my Instagram is @star3dgfx

Type based illustration I did out of boredom.
I'm trying to take famous romance comedy lines and making them into rejection lines.
Why? Because I'm weird like that.

^ If you can I would make your own book. Makes you look a lot better imo
But those books are pretty nice too
Made this the other day, the "vulgar" is hand drawn with ink and scanned in..

Here's some random stuff i made playing around with adobe illustrator. Obviously not as pro as all of you.
i saw someone post a similar photoshop on a sports blog, but it did not show Curry's whole body. I wanted Curry's whole body in it so i attempted this on illustrator. I'm hoping to put it on a black tee.

This is a quick logo i came up for a highschool Polynesian club my sister is a part of. Hopefully they put in on the club's hoodies and shirts.
