Seed Packet Illustration

Seed Packet Illustration done for my Illustration 2 class. We were given 2.5 hours to complete an entire illustration weighted the same a three week project. This was done with water color, India ink, and masking fluid. I am really happy with the way this turned out. I may add some seeds to the water melon at some point because it looks a little off without them in the actual watermelon slice ...

GD 1 Final Project- Short Term Identity

For our final project we are supposed to create a series of prints that all relate to a certain event that we had to choose out of a hate, combined with a location, that was also chosen out of a hat. My two were a bike race in Toronto, Ontario. I chose to go with an alley cat race because it is a little less traditional than the “normal” bike race. That and it always sounded like a...

GD1 Time 100 Project

Here it is in all its glory. After mocking up this sucker three times it is finally finished. Turned out really well! The pages may look a bit funny on here, it is because of the gate fold I included in the middle of the book. Ill upload photos of the actual book once i get it back from my professor.

I have been working on an editorial illustration for my ill1 class and it is about a story of this old woman who starts up this old red pick-up truck her husband left her when he died. She starts it back up every spring. She is a gardener and works in her garden while the truck is recharging. In the story it tells of how this was the only thing she kept of his after he died, the truck and some of...

GD1- Problem 2-Time 100 Book

For this problem we had to pick a person from the Timee 100 list and create a book about them. Well I picked Sam Walton as my second choice because he is the founder of Wal-Mart, the killer of the mom and pop store. So… Because I despise Wal-Mart with such passion I decided to go ahead and make the majority of the book about how Wal-Mart destroys everything it touches. Here are a couple of...

GD 1 Project

For my GD1 project I chose the subject “How we spend out time” So, more specifically, I chose to compare three different career fields, an ER Surgeon, a Graphic Designer, and a public school teacher. With each I wanted to create and Icon to use throughout all the layouts. These are the Icons I came up with, I may rethink the school teacher Icon though. School Teacher Graphic...

GD Exercise 5

sarahsee: For this exercise, we needed to create a diagram that teaches something. The trick is that we weren’t allowed to use text or numbers. This is mine. Sorry it’s kinda small. (It’s the chicken dance… but hopefully you figured that out) Hahahahaha, I used to hate doing this dance at the skating rink when i was younger…… but now its looks hilarious! I love it sarah!

3dGd (ray and charles eames inspired card set)

so to kill some time in class our professor decided to give us one final exercise to explore 3d masses. to do this, we are creating our own set of cards inspired by the ray and charles eames cards. we pick a subject and then create a card set out of them. The trick to this is to find interesting images that have contrast in design. I chose to do vcd students faces. Close ups, funny faces, full...

Moholy-Nagy Information Kiosk

For the second Project in 3D Graphic Design we were instructed to complete an information Kiosk on something pertaining to the Bauhaus. When I first came up with the basic form I had architecture in mind and that is why there is a lot of space on my form. I wanted to show case great photographs of the Dessau Bauhaus. After looking through different book, I came across these photograms and x-rays...

Spring Break, not a break in sight

So since I have a bit of time on my hands, and when i say bit, I literally mean bit, I am working on Jumping Pixel 2.0. With my new knowledge of CSS and my better grasp on web design, I am giving it a go with nothing but html and CSS. The only Javascript in it will be in the lightbox I will include, and that will even be mainly CSS with a bit of Javascript. I am pretty excited about it, I have...

After creating an animation in flash that took weeks to create, we finally got to create interactive sitmaps, the only thing i think flash is good for. you can see mine here I know the design could be much better, but what i was working on was the actionscript. I will probably revisit this late this semester and create better design. We turn it in tomorrow, hopefully Gretchen will give me...

A changing of the tides.

I am sure that this semester is either going to make or break me. With all the responsibilty I will be taking over the next 4-5 months, I feel that I will be pushed to my limit, if not very close. I have never really been a leader because I have never felt that I had the proper knowledge to lead my peers. Now I have to believe in myself and the knowledge I have acquired. That is one thing I have...

Final Typography Book

Because Craig is now an illustrator i found it appropriate to take a more illustrative approach to this book. I really like the way it came and I even used my illustrative touch to construct the image on the back page. I cannot wait to create another book so i can take a more corporate approach to the next one. Hopefully Ken will understand what i was trying to do.
