Graphic Design Week 12/8

This animation is of a sun emitting solar flares. This was done by me following a tutorial on how to create a sun in After Effects. After completing the tutorial, I made my own alterations to learn more about the software.

I chose to do a Visual Narrative about someone stuffing another person in a suit case. I couldn't come up with any ideas and concepts to accomplish this task. One day I viewed a show on T.V. about women who killed their husbands. Though this doesn't show what exactly happened, it does show the dark and malicious intent of those who's minds have gone mad.

Graphic Design Week 12/1

This is an image of a character I have created to be in a story created by someone I know. I am in the process of building a back story for the character, and I already have a list of characteristics. This is only the front view, but I will continue working on the other views in the future. I also experimented using cross hatching for shading. I will be experimenting with other techniques until I find one or combination of techniques in order to build on my own unique art style.

Here is another picture of the same character. Here I also used cross hatching on a different scale, just to see how it looks when applied to a full body image. I choose his pose to show how his personality stands from other characters in the story he was created for. He is very serious and he is looking outward reflecting on decisions he will have to make in the future. No he is not wearing a cape, it a cloak in order for him to protect himself from sandstorms and other harsh environments. I also have him wearing something of a native american covering around his lower half  to emphasize his nationality.

Graphic Design Week 11/25

This week I have started to create a website using my company logo from professional development in my web design class. Here I tried to capture the essences of the universe by creating a dark theme complimented by a bright image. I have created everything on this page and I will modify it so that I will be able to use it in my portfolio.

Here is a poster I created to support tigers. Tigers are becoming endangered and I felt creating a poster showing the tiger's prowess get others to want to save the tigers as well. After completing this piece I felt as if it was missing something. After receiving some suggestions I felt having a logo over the website and removing the phrase allowing for the picture to stand for itself will make for a more appealing design.
