LOGO!

In thinking towards the future i designed a logo for what my potential company brand name could look like i picture this 3D crystal-like forms that would spin on a 45 degree angle on a black background. Hidden in this logo are my initial d.v.w can you find them?!

See My Name in Lights

I came up with the name for my CD cover because i wanted to portray something we do. While the rose in the background( an image i drew) is beautiful it is being depicted as being painted.  As designers we are not designing things in nature but this man made design is still beautiful!

So You Think You Can Graffiti?!

For my redo assignment I thought it would be fun to create a blog header.

This header means a lot to me because I grew up in NY where graffiti is everywhere and is definitely a a form of art.

Case Study: Collaboration

This is when it all comes together!

You can see from this board layout the similarities in color and texture.  It is easy for you to look at the perspective and find where the room would be located in both the plan and axon just from looking at color and texture.  This composition is a nice balance to the eye because pops of similar colors appear throughout the entire page creating ones eye to travel easily over the composition.

Case Study- Perspective

The final Piece of my exploration through the Case study #9 home!

Through this picture i tried to connect through color and show different textures. The creation of depth was successful through the shade and shadow used as well as the angle of the perspective. I feel that it really gives the viewer a taste of what it would be like to experience this space in person.

Case Study-Axon Final

I feel very strongly on how this axon finally turned out. It  definitely took a couple pens pencils and erasers for it to become a clean composition. I feel that the colors within this composition are extremely vibrant but work well due to the 50s 60s time period.

So You Think You can Spook?!

This was an exciting project that really got me in the halloween spirit.  I decided to be a little creative by drawing the haunted house in a pumpkin and write a story about it to make it look like a complete composition.

"Up upon your stoop a jackolantern sits,

Inside beyond the goop, the pumpkin seeds and pits.

Here a house it lie as small as one can be.

So hidden in disguise, look closely and you'll see.

Through jackolantern light is this tiny place revealed.

For only in the night can you see what is concealed.

A house of doom and gloom on pumpkin seeds and pits.

A haunted house it lies and on your stoop it sits."

Render-Render-MIDTERM!

This was trial one of my elevation render for the Case Study Home.

Here I focused soley on color pencil.

For my second attempt I used both prismacolor pencil and marker in separate section of the elevation.

My final rendered elevation had both color pencil and marker blended to create unique and powerful effects of light and shadow as well as distance and time period.

Case Study: Plan it out!

In class we were assigned a plan view to convert in scale and render. I was informed that this home was built sometime in the 50's or 60's so i felt that it was my chance to really go crazy with color and get away with it! From here we drew and rendered sections which will be appearing on my blog soon!

So You Think You Can(t) Draw?!! Scale Figures

Another So you think you can draw! I have been having a lot of fun doing these projects because i can freely use my creative mind. So far it's been working out pretty well. For this assignment we had to draw three pictures showing scale. I decided it would be unique to choose alice in wonderland and her transition from small to huge in the film.  Overall i feel that this piece both mets the assignment and is aesthetically pleasing!

A Circulation Through Space

Stepping Toward the Present(ation)

Our upcoming project is to take a few things from what we have .  and learned and create a well thought out presentation board. It would be easy just to scan these pictures in and put them up just as you did them but i decided to go one step further and use my newly-found photoshop skills to edit my images. My goal was to filtrate these images with the colors from the Maud Gatewood painting in order to tie them all together.

"oh tell me why do we build castles in the sky"

When this project was first announced i was excited at the fact that we could be so creative and imaginative.  I automatically think in color so i decided to saturate this compsition with light pastels in order to give it a fantasy feel. I also chose to draw an angal in the foreground of the composition in order to balance the image. I feel that this enhances the image and does not take away from the castle because the background had more intense colors while the foreground has more washed out ones.

Color Me Photoshop!

I had a really fun time doing this assignment. I never realized how many things you can do to edit a photo. With this assignment i tried to be playful in my usage of color as well as light and shadow. The tools i used most were the burn, dodge, lasso, and the paint tool.

Perspective Final

Ready...Set...Render!

I took my sketch upmodel one step further (or should i say 3 steps) and added a personal touch through decoration and shadow.  In this exercise i attempted three styles of drawing tight, medium and loose.  I also used a slight variation of color inspired from one of Maud Gatewood's paintings. I found it very challenging to make the loose drawing because i didn't know the borderline of something looking loose and something looking half done. Better luck next time i guess!

Sketch it UP!

This process went another step further when I built my model in sketch up (my very first real sketch up model)  After two courses with Sean ( the computer god) and countless hours playing and fighting with sketch up I created my final model. I tried to show a variation of texture, color as well as detail.

North Perspective

After Drawing the plan of what i envisioned the north wall to look like i drew it in perspective view.  I attempted to make it look more realistic and give the drawing weight by using gain different line intensities and shading.

In Pla(i)n View...

After creating my south wall perspective, I imagined what the north side of the room would look like and drew it in a plan view. This drawing is successful through the different variations of line weight I used.  the objects in the space that are higher up have a darker line weight than those closer to the ground.
