A very small redesign of the JTA public transportation stop.  RIP.
Technique: huh... model making?
Media: Various little things and trinkets; visual lies; acrylic

The purpose of this project was to redesign an identity for JTA -Jacksonville's public transportation system. The design came about after playing with a "two-wall" concept (most covered stops have two to three). I wanted to maximize square footage while keeping a low building cost, and also heighten the appeal through design in order to achieve the goal of identity, thus improving public opinion and encouraging public transportation. The design allows for a sun-power option and features plenty of space for seated, standing, and handicapped personnel, also housing comfortable space for maps and ads. Our bus stops in Jacksonville consist of dirty, worn down benches with little to no cover. I've also redesigned the stop sign and on this model because the current one features the JTA logo against a black background.

It's a pineapple straw.

Hello!




I'm not gay.  I look hot in a dress, though.

With that said, welcome to the show!  A few days ago the hilarious Los showed me his blog, and convinced me I should get one too.  He's an incredibly talented artist and I'm always happy to do either joint or parallel projects with him, so here I am! Make sure to check out his blog: Itstinkslikeartinhere.blogspot.com

Let's have some fun!

I like holding a pen/pencil/brush/crayola/exacto blades/boob, or anything that you can leave lines with. Once upon a time I was passionate about architecture, but after coming to my senses I went and decided to try a bit of... well, as much as I could. Now, a few years and some careers later, I'm doing something I thoroughly enjoy: graphic arts.

I hope you like jalapeño ice-cream, too.

I'm Jhon. It's nice to make your digital acquaintance.

Cheers,
