Gingerbread House

 

This is a paper gingerbread house I designed in Adobe Illustrator. 

Evangelion Minimalist Poster

I recently finished watching the Rebuild of Evangelion movies and the original Neon Genesis Evangelion anime which said movies are based on. It was an amazing (and at times vexing) experience. When I found out that our next project was to make a minimalist poster of something we'd watched, I immediately thought of Eva Unit 01 (the giant robot in the poster above). This took about two class periods and lunches. I'm happy I finished it so fast. 

(I do not have any rights to the Evangelion franchises.)

Toy Story Minimalist Poster

This is a minimalist poster. Basically, it's a poster with as little as possible on it, but not so little as you can't tell what it is. I did it in Adobe Illustrator. 

I do not own Disney, or Pixar, or Toy Story.

My Business Card

This was an assignment in class. I did it with Adobe Illustrator.

Kingyou Guides of the Night

This is a picture a completed in my Graphic Design class. The assignment was to make a poster. As you can see, I did a bangin' job. I did the rough, and inked drafts on regular ol' computer paper by hand, then scanned the inked picture onto my computer at school. I used Adobe Illustrator to make another set of line art, and then rendered that in Photoshop. I took more than a second (ugh). I wish I didn't have GD just for an hour at a time. I wish I could just be in that class the whole school day.
Now onto the image above. The goldfish are spirit guides (?) leading this girl back to the material plane from the spirit world (or something). Her lantern says kingyou or, "goldfish" in Japanese.
This piece was also an experiment. I have no idea how to properly do a glow effect when using Photoshop as a rendering implement. So I just kind did my own thing and played around with the spray brush and opacity.
But, I'm happy with how this came out, so that's good.
Oh, yeah! I drag my drawing tablet (which I used on this) to and from school. I'm such a dedicated student. The scanned draft is below.

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).
