CMYK WPAP

CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black) and it is the color model used for color printing. In theory,when cyan, magenta, and yellow are mixed together evenly, they should create black. But the truth is that is practice, they do not; so black is added into the model.

The piece above falls into the genre "Pop Art". Pop Art is art based on modern popular culture (pop culture). It is widely used in mass media. It is different from traditional art in that "material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, and/or combined with unrelated material" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_art).

Typeface for Blog Header

Fonts:                                   

1. Amadeus Regular - Display       

2. Copse - Slab Serif                              

3. DISCO - Sans Serif                            
4. Elsie - Serif                                 
5. Windsong - Script                        
6. ShangriLaNF - Serif                
7.Spicy Rice - Display

If I were to choose one of the seven fonts above for the header of my blog, I would have to go with Elsie. It is a simple and easy to read typeface, therefore it looks professional. The first typeface, Amadeus, for example, is far to complicated and is excessive design-wise for my purpose, though I do like it. DISCO was a close second, but it was too plain. Elsie, while simple, has a little something extra. Its serifs and tails have a curl to them, but said curls are not horribly exaggerated and don't obscure the legibility of my name. 
The curls also bring me joy on a more personal level because I have curly hair.                 

Typography & Mood

A PhotoShop doodle

Strays

Over the summer of 2013, prior to my senior year in high school, I attended a workshop at the Art Institutes Los Angeles campus. I participated their animation program and the image above is of the character designs I used in my finished piece (which I am not happy with mind you). But it was a learning experience either way. The video below the designs tells the story of how simply asking "Are you alright?" can change someone's whole demeanor. I seriously wish I'd had more time to work on this (like 10 hours or so). Character designs drawn in PhotoShop CS6 and video animated in Adobe Flash.
Maybe I'll redo the video in ToonBoom Studio or something. Meh.

Bacon Cheeseburger

This is an eleven-second animation that I did in my eleventh grade year. I consider it to be my first real piece. The style used in Bacon Cheeseburger Is inspired by Pendleton Ward's Adeventure Time and Bravest Warriors.

The Headphone Geisha

This piece was originally drawn by hand with a 0.5 mechanical pencil, and then scanned onto a computer and finally rendered with PhotoShop CS5.
