Summer 2009 inspiration and whats coming up

So this is my inspiration for this summer's conceptual project. Thoughts and notes and inspiration (type and images) "use conceptual solutions that utilize symbols"

BAUHAUS
Language of visual = Universal Language
Text <<<>>> Visuals = Graphics

HOFFMAN: "The picture contains an inherent message"

Graphic designers create language to deal w/ solutions

Making visual language(s)

re-branding myself:
Estudio
EL ESTUDIO/ RAMON TEJADA

This summer's project: 1) re-brand 1.5) play with a series of sketches playing with visual language based on the senses: SEE ME; HEAR ME; TOUCH ME; TASTE ME; SMELL ME Come up with inconography + words 2) 3 leave behind folded posters ( 11x17 use me; take me; pay me) (use checkered pattern, my shirt) 3) 2/3 small (12 pages each) sample work books that bind together (see picture below of mock up)
4) re-do my website


FONTS: Courier Gothic, Plantin, itc Clearface; find/replace; Tiffany; torino; akzidenz grotesk; sign-painter.

Below are sample works for inspiration and ideas.
The first 2 pictures are pcis of my mock up books.
