Sketches for a new series: "Vendors"

Spaces For Lease

Today I presented my portfolio for my series "Spaces For Lease" in Advanced Photography class. Despite my nerves, I feel it went fairly well. Here are a few examples of some shots that made the cut.

Senior Exhibition

Finally. I have photographs of what has consumed my time and sanity this final semester of college. The show opened April 11 and closes this Thursday, April 22nd. Thanks all who came to see it in person, but for those of you who hadn't gotten a chance, here is a taste of the show.

Advanced Photgraphy Spring '10 Critique 1

Yikes! I haven't posted in awhile!

Anyways, here are the photographs i intend on hanging for my first critique in photo for the semester--if the printer acts nicer than it has been tonight! I'm going for images of small city gems either closed or still in business/the everyday that is overlooked, etc. Still developing the works as a whole. Enjoy?

Pink Week T-Shirt Design

I liked this project. It wasn't an automobile brochure. We won't get on that topic because I am still quite angry about it.

Current Issues Campaign

A reader commented on my lack of updates. While I am still working on the brochure for this project (which is due tomorrow), I figured I'd post the postcard and the poster. We had to do a topic of sustainability, and I made sure to tie in the green art show that is happening instead of my 407 show at the end of the month. Yes, that is a sewing machine made from recyclable objects. I had fun with the poster and postcard, but not so much with the brochure. That is the adventure i am taking tonight. Maybe someday i'll be better friends with indesign.

Thank god I finished my annotated bibliography. ART 490 is killing me.

Branding (Snowboard, T-Shirt, Logo Design)

Tonight in my Design Arts Studio II class, we had a critique for our first project--branding. We had to design a logo for a snowboarding company along with tshirts and snowboards. My design is a play off ABOMINABLE SNOWMEN (yetis, etc). The company name, ABOM, is a shortened version of ABOMINABLE but carries a double meaning with the a-bomb/atomic bomb idea. My characters are angry snowballs so they aren't directly yeti, and the shirts and boards are gender-specific. This was a very fun project for me, so I am excited for the other projects yet-to-come this semester.
