Aviator Cover

Today I'll show you something I'm really proud of. This is my first (and so far only) published piece! My school has a literary magazine known as The Aviator that students can submit written and drawn pieces to. This issue of the magazine had a theme of "Halloween" or "Fall" and this is the piece I chose to submit. Not only did they publish it, they chose it for their "Editor's choice" award and used it for the cover of the magazine! They also wrote an article that featured both the Aviator and myself.

Sneak Peek Part 2

Remember those cars from yesterday? Well this is what I wanted them for! :) I'm working on a tv show promo for Motion Graphics and these are some of my style frames. The show is about drifting by the by. I really wanted a gritty, grungy, fast feeling. Of course these don't feel fast because they aren't moving! But they will be, don't you fret!

A Sneak Peek

Hey guys! Here's a sneak peek of a project I'm working on. I figured I'd share it with you all while I take a break from working on it. These are two of the graphics I'll be using for a motion graphics project! This is the first time I've used Illustrator in...a long time. I would have done them in Photoshop (like I do with everything) but part of my animation requires me to zoom in really tight to each of these elements, and vectors just handle that better.

Bright Eyes Poster

I do believe this was for my History of Visual communications class. This was one of the more enjoyable projects I encountered because of just how much freedom I had. The requirements were that we had to make a band poster and it had to include the name of the band and a date/time/place. Everything else we had free reign over, even the selection of the band. Bright Eyes is my favorite so that was an easy choice. I love drawing things so I wanted to add some hand drawn elements. I wanted it to look like a poster they may actually have, and I really wanted a "collage" feel.

Art Nouveau Style Bookmark

For this class assignment we were required to create a bookmark (this is the full uncropped picture used for it) that was to be inspired by Art Nouveau. We also had to give it a personal and modern twist. I chose Mucha as my inspiration and I chose to give it a modern zombie twist. They're all the rage these days, and I'll admit to my love for drawing them. I also thought it was be an interesting contrast to the beautiful, delicate nature of Mucha's works.

Operations Plan

In Studio Maintenance we were required to create an Operations Plan for a metaphorical design studio, factoring in all costs and explaining how the set-up works. You'll recognize my logo in the corner :) As you can see, I'm very fond of the look of grid paper in planning documents.

Welcome!

Hey all! This will be a blog showcasing my design work, tutorials, articles opinions etc. Give me a bit to get it all up and running. Thanks :)
