This was my first project from a Typography class. I really love the movie A Clockwork Orange and it was the inspiration for this piece. The top hat has words that came to mind when I thought of this movie. The assignment was to express feeling through text. I used gritty and grungy text to express the rawness of this movie. The face is made up from various quotes from the movie.
This is an event poster that I made a few months ago for class. I was trying to go for a grungy and rusty feel. I was going to make a underwater scene but I ended up just keeping the diver which influenced the rest of the piece.
This was intended to be a event poster for a CD release party. I ended up not using it for my project but I think it has potential to work for something else one day. So if you need a poster this one could be yours. The idea just came as I worked. I just embraced my random train of thought and this is what came out.
So here we have the album cover for Cloud Conquers City. The actually CD is designed with the same attributes as the cover. The t-shirt also match the album art work. This could be a promotional pack for fans when the CD is actually released, which is still a while from now.
This is the official Cloud Conquers City sticker. The idea came from one of their songs called Purple Whales. I initially made the blue waves and wasn’t really sure where to go with it. As I looked and the rolling waves, I was reminded of the fair game where you shoot the little yellow ducks. Inspired by my childhood memories, I merely added purple whales instead of yellow ducks. The sticker has been printed and were designed to bring attention to the bands myspace page. The stickers have been very successful.
So this is the logo that I developed for the band Cloud Conquers City. The lead singer (Donald Best) and I developed the concept. He wanted the C to be the predominant feature in the logo. To further illustrate the band’s name, I incorporated a rainy cloud hovering over a city. My over all goal was to illustrate the bands name in a simple yet memorable way.
For my final in advanced computer graphics I had to make a poster. I chose to depict the issue of illegal immigration in the United States. I was inspired by old Russian propaganda and attempted to recreate the style and added my own twists. I used photoshop for almost all of my work with the exception of my little immigrants. I made their outlines in Illustrator and then painted them in photoshop. Special thanks to Marcin Zeglinski for being my beautiful model.
As a mini project I was required to make a media player. I changed my idea several times and finally settled with one. I used various brushes and textures to achieve my final product.
I had to create a mechanical object for my ADG class. I choose my old Canon AE-1. This image was created in Illustrator and was very time consuming. I am proud of the results and glad that it all came together.
After submitting the image for a grade I had to create a page layout for my item. I wasn’t really sure what I was going for in my layout. I ended up creating a look that is very popular right now.
For my DCG class I had to choose a pre-existing logo. I choose to remake the Detroit Zoo logo. My inspiration was drawn from the Toronto Zoo logo. I wanted something abstract and not childish.
