This is a little side project I’ve been working on for a while. Initially, my friend asked me to make a poster for a TCU lacrosse game. I had a lot of fun with this poster, and kept expanding and working on various versions of the background. I loved how the frog looked with a glow and various textures and infamous layers in photoshop.

Here’s one of the results, just before football season kicks off:

This seemed like a wonderful background for a TCU athletic event, especially with the Horned Frog looking so menacing and powerful. This background was eventually used for their schedule. After more revisions I came up with another background for this lacrosse poster, and again had a lot of fun.

Here’s the final poster background:

And here’s the final information, as requested by the team and coach for the event poster. I’m happy with it, and think they were too. GO FROGS!

So I’ve decided to work out concepts on the computer as sort of a “quick sketch” or perhaps idea that I might have about design, typography etc. I like to have fun with these and not spend too much time, again just approaching it as an initial idea. This one features Shakira, and I’d like to come up with more spreads featuring other artists. Right now this all just place holder text to help develop the concept.

Second spread:

My favorite thing about this piece was working on the typography and coming up with my own letters. I definitely spent some time on this, and have started expanding to other letters. In addition, it’s made me focus on my original alphabet that I’ve already started (more on this later). Hope you enjoy!
