FINAL Specialty Item Board

Specialty Item_UPDATE

I have decided to simplify my item. It will just be a gym sack with a water bottle, sweatbands and workout gloves. I feel that it will be strongest this way. I don't want to it to be like Jim said, "It will start to feel like the planets of the apes(I, II, III, etc)...simplify".

UPDATE_Specialty Item

The project has evolved. I will create a starter kit for new members (or existing ones too). It will include the gym sack which will have inside a pair of gloves with a towel. The bag will have a tag that will go along with the kit.

Gloves-will have a ghost image of eclipse logo on them.
Bag-Will have B&W logo version with tag line.
Towel- It will have full color logo (embroider or ink-jet transfer).
Tag- Will include full color logo and have some body text on front (Welcome to Fitness Evolved). It will also have on the other side a space for contact info in case someone loses their bag.

Final Project_Specialty Item

For my specialty item, I will make a gym sack. I am at the moment still designing what it will look like and what features it will have. So far, I have sketched out some ideas and have bought a bag from EastBay that should arrive next week.

Collaborative Book Piece

Title: Physical, Mental and Emotional Fatigue.
By: Leo Castro

In my piece, I wanted to represent a re-occurring nightmare that I have had. In this nightmare, I am constantly being haunted. I fear for my life and am in a state of trance, where everything is out of my control and being taken away from me. In the composition, I use symbols to represent the fatigue of all three aspects of my life in both realms. I am being battered in this nightmare with physical, mental and emotional distress hence the name for the piece. Lastly, I wanted to represent these elements with a sketchy look to it. Consequently, I drew every symbol and just pulled the background texture from a wall in my backyard. As a result, The finished image represents the disturbing darkness and tension of my nightmare.

Final Ad Spread

Ad Spread Update

The spread will consist of two ideas tied into one. They will be connected with the tag 'to be or not to be'. One panel will represent the benefits of fitness while the other will do the contrary. One will say 'i am' and the other will say 'i am not'. Finally, the headline will be 'Maintain the Body. Energize the Spirit'.

Lastly, the composition will consist of a man and a woman, who are members of the gym, and rely on type to unify the spread.
