OdotLondon Amateur Graphic Designer/ArtistThe Design Student that didn't really go to Design School. I am OdotLondon. I attended Albright College where I received a bachelor's degree in Music Business with a co-concentration in Digital Media, which provided a good foundation and planted the seed in many ways. Before going to college, I barely had an interest in visual art. Albright opened me up to a craft and career path. This blog is created as a portfolio of sorts, documenting the practice and further exploration of my new craft. *All images designed by OdotLondon unless reblogged.*

MediaHead_4

This 4-piece set is an illustration of a character I created, with the working name MediaHead (Not as clever as I’d like, but it’s all I could come up with upon creation.  I’m actually still conceptualizing names and uses for this series of characters).

This piece is entirely vector based.  It was created originally in Flexi Cloud, and formatted i into the 4-piece set (art boards) in Adobe Illustrator.

The color scheme isn’t based off of anything specifically.  Just primary colors.  The combination is pleasing to my eyes.

A logo for shawspeaks

This is a logo, that I created for my girlfriend. She is a freelance figure model, fashion model and poet.  Speak is her stage name.

It began as t-shirt I designed for her as a birthday gift.

I based the design off of lipstick because she likes to wear lipstick, specifically red when she performs.  It makes her feel confident and sexy.

The logo is entirely vector based.

It was created in Flexi Cloud.

DMGD GxDS T-shirt Designs

DMGD GxDS is a t-shirt line I created. 

It began as play off of the phrase Damaged Goods.

Dropping an “O” from the word “Goods” creates an interesting oxymoron.  The dripping “X” that goes through the “O” is the signature mark of the line.  It’s position on the t-shirt will vary, but will always appear somewhere. 

This design was created using Flexi Cloud, and is entirely vector based.

“Ideas”

A T-shirt Design and possibly a print.

This piece was created in Flexi Cloud, and is entirely vector based.  It is a design for another one of my t-shirt lines; H(P)E.  Which stands for Higher (Priced) Education. 

The concept behind this piece came to me as I was riding the bus one day, going to work.  I likened ideas after a long period of creative block to zombies rising from the grave. 

There are two versions.

The first is straight forward.

The second use a light bulb which is also used to represent ideas.

The title of the piece is the title of a song that features the two of them.

TanWow 5 and 7

TanWow is a series of 7 pieces I created in Photoshop, 5 and 7 being my favorites.  The piece was initially inspired by Andy Warhol’s Diptych pieces of Marilyn Monroe.  Actually I believe I was doing a photoshop tutorial  on how to achieve that look, and I traveled astray.
