I See It I Hear It I Love It

I just really felt like I had to post something new. We're one third into May and my last post was back in April. And plus, I have nothing better to do right now.

This piece is a book cover concept. The book was a class book about the sights and sounds of Los Angeles. I took the photograph at the arrival area in LAX. I really do love the silouette. I used cyan, magenta, yellow and black because, for those who don't know, those are the primary inks you use in print. CMYK! Sadly though, this version did not actually go to print. My teacher chose my second design to go to print.

I don't hate it at all, but it isn't as strong as my first design. Looking back, my teacher dropped the ball big time. I shoulda pushed for it more. I will from now on.

Rhino in a Tree

A little something I drew in my sketchbook out of boredom. It's another variation of my giant flying rhino. Textures and contrasts are fun!

Right Here is Where It's At!

Today was a long day. I worked on my portfolio from right before afternoon til the late evening. And I still have a little bit to do in the morning. That's what I get for weeks of slacking and procrastination. My bed looks good right about now. Here's a picture of my desk at the studio taken with my camera phone. It's really quite a mess with all my work and projects. But you know what? If that ain't love, than I don't know what love is.

Babes in America

This is a poster for a play. It's a comedy about people in the not-so-distant future trying to cope with the electronic life that relies so much on material possessions. The simple llfe sounds really sweet right now. ps. i haven't been able to concentrate since coming back from the philippines a few weeks ago. At least i'm not sick anymore. God bless!

Type 1 Project

I consider this to be my first real graphic design project. Done in my sophomore year right after I changed majors from animation to graphic design. I had major doubts about it at the time, especially since it was hand-done and a little rough around the edges, but this is one of those that sorta grew on me. I'm very glad that I, and my teacher, liked the outcome; otherwise, I don't know what career path I would have ended up in. Graphic design was very new and very foreign to me so I was shocked that people liked it.

Mammoth Root Beer

Here is my Mammoth Root Beer that everyone seemed to love from a few semesters ago. At first, I didn't like the colors but they grew on me. I'm liking the black with ice now. Good Taste Never Goes Extinct.
