For this project I chose to do a nautical theme with both my initials and my object. First, I decided on a great white shark as my object and from that point made decisions on how I would lay out the rest. I used illustrator to recreate the shark using the pen and pencil tools. I then took that into photoshop where I manipulated a photo of a nautical map. I applied gradients and color correction to the map and went back to Illustrator for my initials. I wanted my initials to coincide with the rest of the project so I started with Adobe Garamond Pro typeface and gave it a grid look while playing with symmetry and negative space. My thumbnails helped me nail one idea down and stick with it.

dude, sharks are awesome. AND old maps are cool....and because you utilized both in the same piece, your work is blowing my mind...as we speak!

I really like the theme of your project. The ocean rocks.
Well thought out and executed. Great choice on the nautical theme. Using the shark and the logo really works for the over all piece.
