more stock

This week in my Commercial Photography class, we took a field trip to find some good stock photography, especially textures. I'm really happy with what I found, especially the following four images, which I pulled from my haul for the day (about 320 photos).

And.. I saved the best for last.
This beautiful texture was created by a fountain that had been turned off for the winter.

You may remember this wedding program I did late last year. I just finished up the design of the thank you cards for the same couple.

stock photography | textures

I am currently taking a class called Commercial Photography, and our first assignment is Stock Photography. This first week, we were encouraged to try to get some shots of textures and patterns. Here are a few of my photos from today.

I'm really not sure how these photos managed to color coordinate, but let's pretend it was on purpose. :)

oh, deer.. deer.

Print 

I've needed a good Oh, Deer logo since the idea for the name first crossed my mind more than a year ago.

In my Portfolio class, one of our goals for the semester is to brand ourselves. I feel like any good brand needs a good logo, and here is mine (or at least the prototype of it). 

Today is a catch-up day. I've been brainstorming this logo for a long time, and today I opened up Illustrator and made it happen. It's simple, which I think really goes well with my style. I will also be making an option with a fill so that the logo can be applied in a variety of ways.

Ideally, this logo will begin showing up on my photography as a sort of watermark, as well as on my posted design work.

Comments and constructive criticism are always welcome.
