Week 15: The Final Cut

Business Card

LOGO
Poster Design

Webpage Number 1

Webpage Number 2

Welcome to the final feature. This week we are finishing up 2D designs with a organization or a group cause of our choice. I chose to go with the Horror Film Festival Organization. The challenge this week continued with the restriction of not using any black or white color in our final products. Also we were required to design a business card, logo, and our choice of building at least two webpages, or perhaps a CD album. I chose to go with two webpages, which were really fun to build. The ideas were flowing from the brain pan like mad! This was a fun way to end the semester! I truly hope that you enjoyed my blog post throughout the past 15 weeks!

Week 14: Poster for a Cause

This week we were challenged to choose a group or cause that we care about, and create a poster using any color we deemed necessary to get our message across, (excluding any black or white values of course). This was quite the challenge for me because my world revolves around dark and Gothic art...aka black. So with that said I still decided to go with one of my favorite organizations called the Horror Film Festival or often referred to as the Inernational Horror Film Festival or IHFF / HFF). The Horror Film Festival makes it possible for inspiring horror artists and movie makers to share their views and creations with those with similar interests... or those who just what to get the crap scared out of them. Mahaha... (Yeah that was my poor excuse for an evil laugh). Anyway, the Horror Film Festival is held all over the world each year, usually sometime in October. This years fest is supposed to be held in Louisville Kentucky. It is a little early this year hitting in mid-July. It's supposed to be a scream! Hope you enjoyed my creation!!

Week 13: Color

Well it took me a long time and most of the week to ajust colors to get what I believe to be the perfect color wheel. Now that I am FINALLY finished with it it kind of reminds me of one of those paint samplers you can find at the local hardware store! :) Yeah Colors! Also we were to take a color test online. I scored a 32. Haven't decided yet if that's a good thing or not.

Week 12: Value

This week we were asked to make a self-portrait in black and white value with the materials that we scanned in week 10. I ended up using my swatches that consisted of paper towels, a wrinkled shirt, a swirly pillow cover, pin-striped pants, pillow button for the eyes and couch fabric for the shirt. Also we had to create something that was a representation of who we are as a person. I like the goth scene so I had to go with the darker lips and the "Liquid White" paper face! :) Hope you enjoy it!!

This was the original pose I chose to go with and adapted as necessary!

Week 11: Illusion of space & movement

Illusion of Space:

Size: Here is a Mass Media Advertisement that show cases even at the smallest of sizes art, logos and so on can have a big impact on the little people.

Size: The size of this butterfly ontop of the glass flower shows the illusion of space. With the blurred background it only ads to the depth or the weight of the composition.

Exaggerated Size: In this mass media ad we have an Exaggerated size bottle of soda compaired to the model. This fits the illusion of space perfectly.

One Point Perspective: There are quite a few differnt line placements in this one point perspective that could also suggest movement.

Illusions of movement:

With the Anticipation Motion of blood spraying out of the phone, it gives the composition a feeling of movement. Plus the blurring of the surroundings as well as the photo on the wall it successfully aids that illusion.

The digestive track really give the impression of movement. With the lining of the stomach acting as a road, this is a perfect illusion of movement.

Transient Illusion: By using the clothing in the middle it ads movement almost effortlessly. The active movment between ninja and model also adds to the effect.

Multiple Image to suggest the Illusion of movement. This photo was shot for a Browns University Photography Department ad. By shooting this photo with the correct shutter speed, the indication or the illusion of movement was successfully imployeed.

Week 10: Textures & Patterns

Week 9: Shape & Volume

This week we learned about shape & volume. We were asked to use a chair with another object like a plant and design a balanced picture in the Negative sense. I saw these couple of vintage wheelchairs while I was in Burlington this weekend and decided to use them for this project. Also I saw these interesting plants at the hotel I stayed at and decided to incorperate them in as well. Hope you like it.
