HELLO
My name is Martha, or MarthVader if you know me as that. I like graphic design and plan on majoring in it in college.
This blog will pretty much be a timeline of my adventure into graphic design. As of now, the only formal training I have is a week long graphic design camp I did over the summer and an internship at a graphic design agency.
Here are some samples of my previous designs as well as a description for each: + Show Spoiler +
Really the point of this blog is for me to be able to keep track of my progress and to get any feedback I can on anything I make. Also, to get reccomondations for things I could make from now on, as I don't have any key projects planned. If you want a background or need graphics for anything, let me know. (no money needed, I'm not advertising anything)
thank you, -Martha

I know right MarkyO, that zerg background is pretty cool should color those drips at least though.

The white strips theme is pretty cool, but you to work on your typography but don't worry you'll learn all about it when you study ;D

I feel the back cover of the WS album is quite hard to read, because of the dark red and black. They're blending abit too much, and like the guy above me said the typography is abit 'meh'. I wish I could give you any concrete advice as to what to changes you could do to it, but I'm not very good at typography myself.
Hard to comment on the two starcraft ones, I mean they're fairly simple. Guessing that it may be some sort of vector work? In that case I feel they are about as good as they can get for that purpose.
Digging the album covers though, not much to critique there.:D
And just to give some sense of merit to my critique, I've been making my own backgrounds for a couple of years now but quite abit different from what you do(I do the typical abstract 3D + Photoshop backgrounds). Critiquing stuff is hard though, I haven't critiqued anything for quite a while.
If you want sources of inspiration one example would be to check up on some graphics forums and do the signature of the week contests they have, and wallpaper/large piece of the week contests. They're usually themed with something each week, and it's a decent way of getting some practice in too. :D

Thanks for the critique ^.^ I would agree that the back cover is too hard to read... ill tweak it later. Typography is one of my main projects right now as to improving, that and drawing in general. The two starcraft backgrounds were taken from the logos and all done in photoshop (my main program)
