just wanted to show off how it finished up.. these are the final works, i had to keep them simple, but i liked what i did well enough... for those of you who didnt get the memo, i was designing press passes for my school's newspaper (Cedar Post) and Yearbook (Monticola) these are a couple of the finished projects. btw, on the black, the fact that you can see some badly done rendering doesn't matter since the card will be much smaller..
I don't really like how the huge red bar covers a part of the person's head.. but otherwise everything seems okay..
