Patterns

As an extra credit for illustration, we were instructed to create something Christmasy.  I created this pattern. It can also be used as a series piece with the Halloween Cat.

John, another student and myself were a part of the Lazarus scholarship program. Our first project was called 'One Box, One Smile'. I utilized my patterns and what I learned in type to help create these posters  for our events.


Type Labels

So our type class was mainly focused on the form of letters and what not, but our final project was to create 5 very distinct and different labels. We could choose wine, beer, hot sauce or moonshine. I chose the wine.















Illustrations

We had an open assignment based off of the words 'Trick-or-Treat'. I decided to create place holders for a halloween parties. The three different themes are casual (the stabbed one), children /9the one with the spider ring) and classy (the nicer frosting design). 







We then had a personal project and I was instructed to paint a mess of food. 

Last Half of Visual Development

We were offered a series of problems and I chose the situation where a broadway show was opening. and props went missing. I chose to focus on the Phantom of the Opera. 














Next came the environment assignment. We were all given someone else's environment drawing in class. I was super excited for Christmas so I made a Candy Town. 




The final project required us to put all of our projects together. I was still in a Christmas mood.

Next came the fun exercises that lasted a day each. 

First we had to make superheroes based on our classmates and do spheres of the fabrics used. This is Krista, the fairy that can talk to animals( I chose her outfit before her powers and by the time I realized how wrong somethings were, it was a little too late to start over). 

Then we were given 3 words at random. I received plasma, NASA and bow and arrow. We then had to create a weapon based on those words and I decided to make Apollo's Bow, using the Apollo rockets filled with plasma as arrows.

Carter's Portfolio

So Carter's Inc. (a baby/young child clothing company) offered interested juniors and seniors a chance to participate in their 1 day workshop on campus. All we had to do was submit 10 portfolio pieces. In the end, they chose 10 seniors to be a part of their workshop. However in our desire for Carter's to consider us, many (if not everyone) applying created patterns and characters especially for them. I had a lot of fun doing these and would love to continue working like this.
