Deyton Koch #9 (Spring break 2)

Not sure how kosher this was but I went to the Annual Student Show and Conference in Dallas over spring break and I wanted to show you guys some of the amazing work.


This was the cover of a Junior's portfolio book. The die cuts are so precise and delicate and she chose a great font to compliment this execution. It helped that paper was so thick but I was very impressed and it made that bad ass shadow every time you opened her book. I am confused at how she did this because of how clean it was, but there appeared to be burn marks on the back of the cover page. 


This is so simple and it is such a great message that has so many possible applications.





Another strong message made by manipulating simple type.


Yet another strong message made much stronger by the type treatment. Great copy made even more memorable. I like how chaotic it looks and the fact that they put in on warning sign yellow. 


In the process of designing a book I was intrigued by this. It is a book that opens both ways. For such an interesting concept and crazy color palette though the type treatment seems a little boring. I would really like to see this book in person.


Hugely successful. The message is so clear and well-executed. It is funny how the more you look at it, the harder it is to read. 

I thought the grid depicted on the bottom of this poster was strange, especially the use of contrasting colors to form weird diagonals. The jumbled numbers are very eye-catching and fun to look at so I think that the hierarchy is correct (though I wish it was moved slightly to the right). Side note: this is a printed poster but the gold was painted on .

Just liked this modern twist to a gothic font and I really admired the student's work in showcasing their font. I also really liked the negative space form by the letters, especially the "G"
