Drooling over every single piece of work from J Fletcher Design. This guy is genius. (Not to mention that he's done work in the fashion industry which makes me insanely jealous.) From the looks of his project portfolio, he gets all the good gigs in town. ...is it considered theft if you steal someone's portfolio?
I feel slightly vulnerable putting this out on the interwebs, because I know that this completely pales in comparison to any fashion designer's sketches. Even though I feel exceptionally vulnerable, I'm still very excited to show this work for two reasons. First, it's my first attempt at fashion design (if you're wondering, I love it), and second, it is my first attempt at "painting" in Photoshop...ever. While some (most) of the proportions are completely out of control (figure drawing was never my thing), I'm pretty proud of what I have to show.
The goal for this project was to design a logo for a new clothing company, a line of 6 complete outfits, a sample hang-tag, a magazine ad, and a website mockup. Inspired by Shephard Fairey's graphics for the Saks Fifth Avenue Spring marketing campaign, I created a Cold War era, military-style couture company called Die Wacht.
I would love to hear some constructive criticism on any of the pieces showcased here. (Not shown is the dogtag style hang-tag and the other 3 fashion sketches.)

Too good to be true. Found this via Gizmodo.
What is the worst product idea you've ever heard? Now double it. We're talking about sunglasses that tape on, and yes, they're real.
Starting this spring, hipster-fashion-tape-design-company Azumi & David will sell you sunglasses tape. We'd like to believe that the sticky ribbon is merely intended to spruce up a shirt or a bag, you know, with the treasured facade of casually dangling glasses. We'd like to believe that.
But you know what? At minimum, two poor Azumi & David models are penciling in their eye expressions as we speak.
Saks Fifth Avenue's spring marketing campaign stopped me dead in my tracks while flipping through my latest issue of GD USA. Gorgeous communist, Cold War era graphics done by THE Shepard Fairey and Cleon Peterson. It rocks my design world.
I've been collecting things to blog about for when I upgrade my version of WordPress, and I'm excited that the day has finally come.
Without futher ado...
