type in space

The assignment was to do a poster using type in space. After trying on the computer, and not being happy with the bullshit look that comes along with stretching type and using the extrude function I decided to go old school and make my letters 3d. I am happy with where this is going, and am excited to make a few changes and tighten it up. it will be a sweet piece when it is done.

icon book

This is my Icon book for Graphic Design 1 with my favorite, Polly Johnson. I chose a road bike for my icon and the book is an exploration of it. For the project poster I put some of my favorite spreads but there is a lot more.

New Media Package Website

I had to design a flash3.0 website based on a Box. Plain and simple. I chose Ancel Guava Paste, why you ask yourself? Because its the weirdest shit i could find at the winndixie. I was then faced with an awkward product with very little type, which was one requirement, use every bit of type. I had to "fluff" it a little. This was my solution. Any feed back much welcomed.

business as usual

This is for a business class. it was fun. yay

Guava Monsters

This is process for a piece for New Media, a.k.a. Flash 101. The assignment is to make a flash based interactive website that was designed and based off a box. I chose Ancel Guava Paste. These are guava monsters. So much fun.

jeremy piven inspired portraits

The Project. Create a portrait of bob dylan inspired by Jeremy Pivens. The objective was to show who the person was using the least amount of symbols or pointing signs. For Dylan I chose the harmonica and the sunglasses. Shape of head and hair were carefully considered when doing the portrait. I origanally had it without the distressed look and it looks shitty. But i am very please with the results as was the class. Crit was awesome.

product and packaging design

the assignment: design a product, its package, and everything else to make a believable concept. I designed a line of vodka product called inebriate. it comes in 5 flavors, pomegranate, star fruit, apple, lemon, and pear. I designed and marketed it for a younger crowd, but not leaving out the older generations. crit went well, i think it came together nice.

lisa french, is that you?

the assignment: do a parody portrait of someone on campus. I am not sure what I was thinking. I chose to make a parody of lisa french, my famous ass illustration teacher. anyway, I put her in a scene from the jackson pollock documentary . lisa does really attentive , detailed artwork, probably the closest to opposite you can get from pollock. anyway i need to revise the mouth, will do that eventually and repost. also probably going to add color.
