Project Magazine Cover

Playing magazine editor for a day (or was it two?) was very fun. I didn’t think so at first because it was mostly color overlay, but it turned out to exceed my expectations. I really like how mine turned out. But here it is! Color harmonies were used again.  

Project Book Festival

Project Book Festival…what?!

I don’t know if book festivals really exist, but if they do, I would go! Even if I’m the only one to show up. Books are awesome. I am an avid reader, so even though a book festival wasn’t really a given option for the assignment, I just couldn’t help asking. My book genre of choice are classics like Jane Austen, Elisabeth Gaskell, Charlotte Bronte, etc. So I took an elegant approach because that is how I perceive it. (And elegance is my forte.) But it was really fun to make

Business Cards

So, there have been a number of projects since I last posted. My apologies, I’m just slow. I will be posting en masse today.

The first of my posts is an assignment to create business cards. Now, I did not use any real numbers and the address is totally made up. So don’t send anything to them! If it does exist, I guess the person will be in for a surprise. Anyways, here was my design. I did it on the fly so if it looks like there wasn’t much thought put in to it…there was—just not enough.

The T-Shirt Project

I started a new class at the beginning of this week and have finally finished with the first project. Illustrator is a fun program to work with. (And definitely gives me less heart ache than Flash did!) Anyways, the project was a t-shirt design with our face and a favorite slogan/quote of ours. I made mine up. We had to do three with different color harmonies. Anyways, I will post the original photo of me that I traced, the work that I did, and then the final one with it on a t-shirt. Expect a lot of photos. :)

I tried to make it as realistic as possible. But that's my work! :) It was very fun to make.

The Good Stuff Restaurant's Menu

This is the final installment of my fictional restaurant! This is "The Good Stuff Restaurant"'s final post. There are limited choices, but it's still yummy! Anyways, here it is. :)

Other Works

Well, I thought I'd share some other types of work I do. I really got started because of a love of art and drawing. I've been drawing for a while now, and I still have so much more to learn. If I dedicated myself the way I should, I'd be much better than I am now. But anyways, here's a few things I've drawn in the past.

The quality is not the greatest, but it's the best I can do with the scanner I have! The last two were drawn several years ago.  This last one is a sketch I did of my sister, Jo. :)

 That one was fun to draw (and is my favorite)!! I hope you enjoyed these!

Project 2: Interactive Kids Menu

 

Here is my very first animation project! (Yes, I am aware that I posted it out of order.) This project taught me patience. After a lot of pain, restarts, and a few nervous breakdowns, I finally completed it. All of the artwork is my own, and was the only part of the whole process that I thoroughly enjoyed. It still has its glitches though. (Which is no fault of my own! I swear the program is rebellious.) All of the coding is correct; I have double and triple checked. But, it is what it is! It still looks pretty cool despite it’s attitude. Enjoy!
