I stubbornly struggled with it on my own because I felt it was my responsibility to present the copy clerk with as simple a task as possible. I didn't want them to do something that would mess up my work and possibly cost me money, so I felt like I had to get the pages as close to a finished state as possible. Of course, I still made mistakes, but at least they were mine and not Kinko's...Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-14802390485613171882015-09-18T20:20:26.021-04:002015-09-18T20:20:26.021-04:00I really love graphic posters like this.

I was always fascinated by the little detail of the male figure's (I assume Tony's) shirt sticking forward from his pants, as happens when someone is in that dance pose. <br /><br />I also love movie openings that are animated and clever. I don't know who did it, but I remember that Catch Me if You Can had a nice graphic opening credit sequence.<br /><br />Every summer, there's an exhibition associated with the Indianapolis International Film Festival that displays graphic movie poster designs by local university art students. I love, love going to that. They come up with incredible stuff!<br /><br />Oh, my, do I ever remember fighting so many battles at Kinko's... Those were the days.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09591981716535134038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-87307863268580177982015-09-18T09:43:07.724-04:002015-09-18T09:43:07.724-04:00Thanks.

Then I remembered my limited experience in graphic design and decided I wanted to talk about that instead.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-28643674505139509452015-09-18T09:23:33.358-04:002015-09-18T09:23:33.358-04:00Beautiful article.

I know I always liked looking at Bass' work, but it wasn't until I started hanging out with you artist types that I gained a true perspective on the combination of talent and work behind the images.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
