My Hypothetical Company



My fake company would be called the Cushing Organization.” C.O” deals in the extermination of ghouls, beasts, monsters, and vampires! The audience would range from young adults 18+ or anyone who would like to get rid of the monsters listed above. The company would sell equipment for vampire hunting, traps, and spell books to keep all super-natural pests at bay. I would ask a designer to create a proper spell book cover with useful facts to help the buyer destroy monsters, a vampire hunter tool kit, and some useful trinkets to ward off ghosts like holy water containers or talking Christmas ornaments. I would like a mascot such as an illustrated eyeball with “C” and “O” inside of it. The companies color scheme will most likely be red, black, and white. My competition will be non-existent, as you can only get these goods from this company. I will reach my audience through Facebook, television commercials, and ads on clothing.

The ugly side of the great Richard Widmark

Here's my first attempt at Adobe Illustrator. I've transformed the scary expression of Richard Widmark before he pushed that poor old lady down the stairs in his breakout film The Kiss of Death into an even scarier popart style!

Logo Response!

After watching the batman logo video I was shocked to see all of the different logos that decades of artists have brainstormed! It seems that every batman logo fit the batman that it belonged to. Examples such as the famous Tim Burton symbol with with it's sleek design and dark foreboding feel and the futuristic Batman Beyond symbol which looks like it's about to leap off of the page were great representations of the sometimes bleak Burton Batman films and cutting edge, action-packed Batman Beyond series. The first logo belonging to the original Batman comics also displays a sort of innocence, possibly a reflection of it's time first printed in the 40s. The symbols as well as the various Batmen progressively became more dark and "scary" throughout the years.
