Portfolio











 Making this portfolio was a lot more difficult than I anticipated. It took me a really long time to get the hang of where everything was and how to use it on inDesign. I had trouble coming up with a good color scheme, but am happy with the one I chose because I feel it integrates well with the majority of my work.

Commercial - Happy Honey


This project really made me appreciate all the work and effort animators put into films and t.v. shows. I made my commercial on “Happy Honey”, making the theme message that this honey is made by the happiest workers, and comes from the happiest flowers to make you happy. This animation highlights dancing flowers, spinning flowers, and buzzing bees. Some technical aspects i would work on to strengthen this project would include extending the amount of time the flowers dance, and choosing a bee that doesn’t clash with the style of the rest of the picture.

Collage Project



BLACK BEAUTY





pictures used to make this blended collage:







I used the lyric “if I had it my way I’d paint the sky black, so i could make a night time of today” from Lana del rey’s song Black Beauty. This quote has always inspired my mind to wander and has inspired many of my own poems and paintings, so i decided to let it inspire me in this project. I  am very happy with how this turned out, specifically how well the blending makes everything come together. I think this project allows viewers to come up with a story with a story to go along with the image, which was my goal. The only thing i would do to improve this is give the farmer back the top of his ear.

Photoshop Magazine Project


I based my magazine off of a variety of music/fashion magazines including Rolling Stone and Complex Magazine. The biggest challange I faced was incorporating the two extra pictures in a smooth manner that gave the magazine a clean look. This was challenging because I like magazines that have one cover picture and minimal text, so I had to recreate the image I had in my head for my magazine. I made the name of my magazine Howler because I took it from my logo project company name, Fox's Howl. I really like the name of the magazine.

Put yourself in a place you've never been before!


This assignment was fun, and not too difficult for me. I enjoyed putting myself in a place I've never been and making it look like I belonged (the prom dress helped a little :) ). I focused on changing the tone in color my my part of the picture, since the background is very greenbased.

HTML Watermelon ... yum


This was by far the hardest project for me to complete. However, once I started to understand the techniques, it became more clear.It definitely helped to trace the inspiration picture onto a graph before starting the project on the computer. I think i did really good with color matching to the original image. To add more dimension to this photo, I would add the underpart of the watermelon and shade it darker green as seen in the inspiration picture.

Vector Illustration




I did my  Vector illustration on a photo of Johnny, the lead singer of the band Highly Suspect. This was very time consuming and took me a while to get hte hang of. I am very happy with the face and hair results. To enhance this image i would add more detail to his shirt, and make some sort of a realistic background.
