Yankees Banner No. 1

Since some of my readers are new, and don't know me that well...I am a New York Yankees fan.  Always have been, always will be.  And so I decided, for one class project, to make a series of banners for the greatest  baseball team EVER!!, and here's the first one.....

I still don't like cats....

...but this was just something cool a fellow graphic designer sent me, and I felt like sharing...http://ojezap.posterous.com/cats-as-fonts

Sketches

Don't know how I'm gonna use these...just felt like posting some sketches

Matty's new logo...for now.

Had a lot of fun with this project.  Posted the roughs the other day, and this is the final design. The one with the "diamond" shape behind it got turned in, but after comments from the class, decided to drop the diamond, and move the type closer..so here it is...for now.

Some kinda cool stuff I've found...

So I hope I'm doing this right, cause this is really "homework" for me.  I'm supposed to go and "surf" the web..(You know, the activity I just find soooo much fun....) and find websites we find "cool".  So I'm just going to, on occasion, post sites here at Matty's Design blog, that I get inspiration from.  Some are friend's sites....some are just people I admire, some will be sites that are really well done.  So here's the first of those posts, and I'll start with a guy I really admire, and I've always loved looking at his site.. I actually met Adam a few years ago when I lived in Orlando..

Another one I check out from time to time is Just Creative Design....

And the last is just one that I really like the "design" aspect of...it's a well put together, visually appealing site, in my opinion...
