Personal Ad

This assignment was to create a business card promoting yourself as a graphic designer. I picked eight of my works, and put a filter on my name and the shapes. I also used a gradient for the shapes.

The Memory Project

This assignment was for The Memory Project, an organization for which art students create portraits for orphaned children around the world, because many of these children don't have any pictures of themselves. I chose a picture of a little girl from Rwanda named Ange to use for my portrait. I added the dogwood flowers in the background because they are the Virginia state flowers, and I wanted to contribute something personal to the portrait, and have it connect to where I (the artist) am from. I think The Memory Project is a really good idea, and am glad to have contributed.

color wheel

This assignment was to make a stencil of a shape and put different patterns and colors in the shape. I chose a nature theme, and used different trees and flowers for my patterns, and a raindrop for my stencil shape. I made each shape black and white, and applied a different colored gradient to each one.

crayola ad

This assignment was to create an ad using photoshop. I made an ad for crayola.

Christopher Clark ARTnews

This assignment was to read through ARTnews magazine and choose an artist who's work inspires us. I chose Christopher Clark, specifically his "ROYO Equus" collection, featuring people with horses. I'm not actually really in to horses, but I really like how all of the paintings in this collection look. I like the use of color, and how you can see the brush strokes. The paintings have a romantic and impressionist style.

faces

This assignment was to take a face and make half of it looks "inside-out," and make it look like a machine. I started playing around with the blond-haired face first, and I didn't add any mechanical stuff, but I thought it looked cool. For the other face, I took the terminator, put it on top, and changed the opacity, and painted pink over it.
