New Mockups

I've focused on the "Safe Sex > No Sex" idea. Despite the notion that it could be turned on its head and parodied to be "any sex > no sex" or something similar, the fact that it is so simple would still keep the phrase/logo/idea in the viewer's mind. 

Im leaning towards emulating the chat bubbles that appear in AIM, since it is often where the dating game plays out these days, and therefore not only relates to the idea of sex, relationships, and courtship, it also relates to the younger generations who spend much of their time texting. The so called "e-generation". 

The phrase/logo is short sweet simple and too the point.

3 Project proposals

due to scanner difficulty I dont have visual aid, but here are my three concepts:

1) Gun with a condom

2) plain, bold text (poss Helvetica) "Safe Sex > No Sex" and on back "No sex > STD" 

3) Salt shaker near lips (weakest obviously)

Salty Gasp Warning Hot 

Warning; a hot salty gasp is eminent. 

Literal: Lips with Saltshaker

Abstractly: Sense of impending sexiness.  

Narrative: A couple's lips grow closer.

Inauguration

President Barack Obama's inauguration was a historical moment the likes of which one is lucky to see within a lifetime. Regardless of political bias, if you even ignore the fact that he is half African American, the significance of the event bleeds through. The peaceful transfer of power from one "regime" to another. I use this term "regime" because we Americans seem to love to use that word when dealing with other countries and never our own, but there is no denying that it is a "regime" change in that the executive branch as well as the legislative branch (and therefore the possibility to alter the judicial branch) is changing hands, from a neoconservative movement to what seems to be a "green" democratic ideology. Two million people showed up to watch the inauguration in person, all scornful of Bush's last two terms, all from different backgrounds of any and all types imaginable, and yet the only casualty from the day was a hospital visit by an ailing Kennedy.
