ORB

I had some time to kill before the Halloween festivities tonight so I whipped up a painting i had been thinking about for a while. Not sure what to call it yet. It's 24x36" acrylic on canvas.

Felt like working on something last night because I had some time to kill. Ended up doing a mixed media piece on the back of a shipping envelope. I did a similar piece based on a section of that piece afterwards on grid paper. I think I just had too much coffee or something yesterday haha.




dream logo

I've been working on a logo for a contest on Design21.com. The contest is for a new logo for UNESCO's DREAM Center. The requirements are basically to create a logo that has the word dream in all caps and the word center. DREAM stands for: dance, read, express, art, and music. I've gone thru a bunch of designs and so far this is my fav:

I also found a cute picture on Creative Commons and photoshopped the design on a little kids shirt like it was an ad:



don't cry over scary posters

haven't had too much to post until recently. midterms were last week so i got a crap load of stuff done. still figuring out how to post illustrator and indesign stuff on here, but for now i've got my poster design for school's halloween party and some self portrait studies of me crying for my methods and media class. normally i wouldn't really want to put up unflattering pictures of myself crying but i was really happy with how they turned out, and i was totally acting so it's not so bad. the poster was a project for my design procedures class. we were supposed to make a 10x14 poster that had some sort of pattern to it. the pattern could basically be anything as long as there was a halloween theme and it was repeated somewhere. i went the creepy fog route.

spoonfight



     I had to shoot a roll of film for class today and took some pictures of two of my friends with spoons at lunch for a few of my shots.  I ended up using the little pictures from my practice contact sheet to make a little comic. The comic is basically Taylor and Wes having a spoonfight. Wes starts it and then gets  easily defeated by Taylor.

The other day my friend was making a box out of a large book and had all of the cut pages in a stack on his desk. It gave me an idea so I asked if I could have them. I then went to my room and glued some pages to some bristol and then referred to my sketchbook for some ideas. The process:

Sagmeister

So I'm pretty excited, going to see Sagmeister talk on Monday at RIT.  He proposed a challenge to them (http://cias.rit.edu/sagmeister/) to touch people's hearts with design. I'm going with all the CommD kids from MWP, and even though we're not from RIT we decided we do the challenge too. These are a few pics of what I came up with for a design:
