So I am waiting for my new camera to arrive. So I will update when I get it. I want to show my years worth of artworks!

Zebras. Are they white horses with black stripes, or black horse with white stripes? Hmmmmm


Oh yeah, and I got into World of Warcraft. Here is a screenshot of me on the Griffin...I wish Griffins were real.

I'd take one out on a joyride I tell ya...plus imagine Griffin poop on your car. B*tch would probably strip the paint off!

Last minute graphic design project

 
So I read a few feedbacks, negative ones like this...





    Wow congrats! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that my project was to rearrange an existing magazine spread and target it to a different audience. I mean it was plainly written in english and since I see that you responded to me in the same language,  I am going to assume that we know english here.  Let me explain it again. I took Seventeen magazine which is usually a teeny bopper read and fused it with Vogue and basically recreated a Teen Vogue (only a little more high fashion).
    And the "load or crap off of wikipedia" are called a "Placeholder Texts". Place holder texts are basically bodies of text that takes up a certain area to give the piece an impression of "written text".  See? That wasn't that hard to understand right? So in future reference, please do not criticize me if you did not read my entry explaining what I did. You do not have to know the concept of graphic design to understand my project, it's common sense...which isn't so common anymore huh?

But, to the people who did critique me (intelligently), I thank you. I will definitely take your advices =)


   I attend school to be an illustrator, but one of my courses covers basic graphic design. Apparently it is very crucial to understand it in the creative industry. Since graphic design is not my cup of tea, I gave it my best shot... I finished a cover and 2 inside spread in a course of 1 hour. It's due today at 12:30 pm and I just finished it ( I can be a slacker at times)!

      We basically had to take an existing magazine and revamp it to target a different audience. I took Seventeen magazine that are usually read by the middle school/high school teenage girls and gave it an edgier high fashion quality instead.

So from this teeny bopper Seventeen magazine...







...to a revamped teen high fashion read. Notice how I used Gemma Ward as my main model. She can throw on a garbage bad and still make it look chic. I used some photos from a photoshoot she was in and added text and manipulated it. I even had to extend the top part of the cover photo to fully include in the title. Cloning is my favorite tool. I used a font for the title called Edition (at dafont.com) because it is the closet thing I can find to Vogue's font. I even made sure to keep all the font colors to minimum.



I played with big letters to give it that editorial feel, but had to ensure that it was still fun to read.


Here I cropped off the right photo to include in the large body of text. Notice my play on enlarging a single letter to give it a more interesting flow.


See? Last minute projects are not all bad =)

Almost done =D

I'm almost done with my sophmore year at Ringling.

Here is a sample page from my children's book.

I attended the Senior Thesis Illustration show, I wish I took some photos of the wonderful artworks, but I dropped my camera and it broke =-(

I am so tiny!

Update soon!
