Final Project

My final project was to design the graphics that goes into the production end of game development. Basically a game case cover, game booklet, and game disc. The target audience is Xbox 360 gamers, and that's only for the cover, which is all you can see on the self at a store. The main call to action is to buy this game, and of course, play it. My Idea for the final project comes from my original publication ad idea, so I took my main idea from publication thumbnails.

Publication Ad Assignment

For this assignment, the challenge was to create two ads for a full color publication. One had to be a full page and the other a partial page. I had some trouble determining the topic of this ad until I was inspired by Jimmy Fallon's release of the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon iPhone App. I immediately saw the potential of a publication ad. I wanted to use their design themes from the show, website, and the app itself to create the ad. I found a similar font, used their approximate colors, and did my best to stay true to the style of the show. The colors are matches of the web colors, so I was curious as to how they would print.
