Here's my third project, a rebrand for Sonic Rainbow Inc.!
Sonic Rainbow Incorporated is an indie record store based in downtown Casper, Wyoming. They offer a mix of new and used CDs, vinyl, cassettes, and shirts. Sonic Rainbow blends vintage and modern tastes in their repertoire, providing a colorful experience for their local community.
You can see the rest of the design project at zainabalhatri.com/sonicrainbow/!
Here’s to the crooked lines we’ll draw this year, to the bad and good choices we’ll make, to all the turnarounds, dead ends and highways we’ll take that eventually will lead to success 🥂 Fonts by @laictype @letterhend.studio The Masulo @prioritype #typetopia #typography #typo #typedesign #typedesigner #communicationdesign #visualdesign #graphicdesign #graphicdesigner (at Luxembourg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUCDKiKDB-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Ahh yesss gotta love the combination of my dying internet whilst doing online classes at the same time 💀. I guess all things have a bad side to them.
I have the convenience of watching online classes from my cosy room. But now I also deal with weird lag that makes people sound like sped-up demonic robots which happened yesterday throughout the whole workshop :/
BUT I think I got the general gist of what was going on!
Here are some collage artists that were discussed in class and some of their further works that I found interesting.
I really like the contrast that’s present within both Whitcomb’s and Castro’s works. In particular with the use of space in Whitcomb’s work; which effectively creates more contrast when also using complementary colours. I also adore the compositions Castro created in his collages, they’re so eye-catching to me from the way arranges his images. They seem crisp, seamless and also natural looking (?? I don’t even know how to explain it).
Before this lecture, I was unfamiliar with collages that took a figurative and minimal approach to collage, so I was drawn to Tierney’s consistent aesthetic. I found it interesting how he collected imagery from vintage magazines from the 40′s and 50′s. To me, the way he has created his compositions and subjects seem to be almost intimately surreal and vulnerable which I find fascinating.

And here’s finally my quick collage I did for the workshop’s activity! It's a bit unfinished since I wanted to put more images and some sort of a background in it but I kinda went for a comedic composite scene I guess! Initially I was stumped on what to do, since we pretty much had all creative freedom with this. But then I saw a horoscope section in the magazine and decided it would be funny to use the scales from the 'Libra' section and find corresponding things to 'weigh' each other.
To be realistic, don't think the weight of two humans in a cup will be ever equivalent to a piano standing on some books and ice-cream and cheese. But it's fun to imagine and honestly this whole collage is gets more funnier to me the less seriously I look at it for some reason.
I was also annoyed that I wasn’t able to briefly share my collage :'( . I was trying to refresh the page because it was taking ages to upload my picture and turns out I got kicked from the room and couldn’t join into the room again; since it was passed the classes’ finishing time. So as you can tell, I was salty with my internet and technology yesterday.
(Hope we’re able to get back to physical face to face classes once its safe.)
