Self Portrait using only typography!! This was so fun! Does it look like me to you?
This is the same assignment as below. We had to do two illustrations with two different words.
This is like the Type I assignment where we had to illustrate a word only in Type II we were using the computer.
This is a collage where we found a piece of fine art and then used Photoshop to incorporate other elements. I was on a Japanese kick and found this really cool painting to work with.
My classmates and I were each given a month with a list of events that take place in that particular month. I got August and chose the Old Fiddler's Competition. We had to design a poster for the event.
We were given dimensions and a list of menu items for this assignment where we had to create a menu from scratch. It's designed as one piece so you're looking at the front on the left and the back on the right.
These were blakc and white ads were for a local gourmet popsicle shop here in Nashville. They make all kinds of unique flavors. The owners showed up for our critique and then took them all for a 'competition' at their shop. Each week they posted a bunch of them for the customers to vote for their favorite. They did it for five weeks and one of mine made it to the finals... it didn't win the top spot though. Good times!
This assignment was to come up with a concept and create a design for a billboard campaign. It was for the YW Domestic Violence program. My concept was to use models that appear to be safe in order to illustrate the way abusers can be anyone.
We picked an industry that we had to design a logo for.... I picked fashion. Later, I added the Backstage name for something else we were doing.
This is Fred Woodward. He used to be the creative director of Rolling Stone. He's currently the creative director of GQ Magazine. We had to pick a designer, research them, write a report and then design a book cover in their style.
Sorry the images are a little dark! This was an assignment where we had to pick an event, create a quote of our own and then illustrate it with text in a way that the reader is able to know what event it is referring to.... can you guess it correctly?
We had to take a word and illustrate it visually using text. Typography I is not done on the computer - everythins is hand rendered. PAINSTAKINGLY hand rendered for hours and hours and hours and hours....
Okay, WAIT! Don't be impressed yet... let me explain. The pieces that represent silverware on this drawing were part transfer and part me. There's this SO cool marker type thing that you can use to transfer a photocopied image onto anything. I added detail and dimension to the transfers. Okay, with that cleared up I can say proudly that the two circles are completely Guy. That's all original sketch and shading. Go ahead, be impressed now. :) This piece was up in the hall and someone wanted to buy it!! They made an offer, it was little bit low so I countered after seeking advice from instructors. The person who was interested in it said they couldn't pay more than what they offered. How cool that someone wanted to purchase some Guy art!
I took Drawing 1 last summer but they combined the D1 class with the Drawing 2 class. I was the only Drawing 1 student so I basically advanced to Drawing 2. Of course, I'll still have to take Drawing 2 since I only got credit for D1. I'm glad it worked out that way because the instructor ROCKED. This was an abstract drawing.... there was a pile of stuff in the center of the room (manequin - how do you spell that?, plastic fruit, vase, etc... ).
We were working on grayscale. I painted this from a self-portrait photo I took of myself in Black and White Photography. I am now using the same photo for a project in my Computer Lab... well, we were suppossed to start it today but class was cancelled. Next week.... Anyway, I started out studying Chuck Close and then came up with my own method of painting this portrait loosely based on his style.
These are images that we had to create that represented certain words. You could only use four black squares on a white background. Can you match the words with the image? They are: Increase, Tension, Playful, Congestion, Order, Bold.
I came up with a concept, took photographs, developed the film and prints, and even made the book!!! I'm talking cut the board, covered it with material, drilled holes (with some help from the fantastic Beth in the photolab) and put this together for my Black & White Photo I Class. (There are more pages to the book, these are just some samples.)
Other than our final project, this was the only assignment we were allowed a little bit of freedom on. I decided to try and duplicate a photograph I took in Maine. She thought my pointillism technique was a little too sloppy.
The only difference in these two paintings is the background color. The rest of the colors are exactly the same. The Bezold Effect is when colors appear different because of the color they are associated with. That's the simple way to explain it. The computer image doesn't really pick up the full impact of the change. You'll have to check it out in person some time. It's kinda wild.
Color Fundamentals - First Assignment
These were done with paper and each little piece was glued down.... lots of fun (sarcasm). The rest of the semester we worked with paint.

Quality
The originals of the work below weren't scanned into the computer but photographed by a digital camera on the living room floor. So, they don't look very crisp.... sorry! They're a little better in person.
