Gestalt Art

This was the very first project I did from 1st semester with Mr. C. We were supposed to make random graphic art using only circles, squares and lines. We had to make 4 different ones for each shape. I think they turned out pretty interesting, my favs being the top squares, the pinkish looking squares in the middle and the purply lines at the bottom.

I decided that I would like to post my work from the first semester in graphics also.

Vinyl Decal

Our project assignment was to make a vinyl decal that we could print, and apply to an object of our choice. Well, my first impression was that we were supposed to just vector something, then "apply" it to a picture like on photoshop, so I decided on the apple tree, and I was planning on super-imposing it on an apple laptop. But then I found out that we were actually making a decal! So I just bought a water bottle to put it on, since I couldn't really think of anything else I wanted it on. I think it looks really pretty on the red bottle.

Graphic Design Poster

This is my graphic design poster, which we had to correlate it to a quote. When I thought of this idea, it seemed so good, but then when I was doing it, it really didn't seem that great. But actually, now that I am done it, it actually isn't too bad, it seems to look nicer in print. My ideas for this was to have this poster like the guy who wrote this quote made it. It relates to the quote, because its like its a crappy crumpled thing that he thought was a mistake, but afterall, it was a great thing. Actually, thats kinda how this project really was.

Page Layout- Magazine Spread

This was my magazine page layout spread. I had some troubles with the cup ( i used a different image in the beginning) being blurry, so I found this other picture instead. With the cup, I edited it on photoshop, selecting the tea, copying it to a different layer, deleting the original tea, then on the new layer, I changed the hue to a greenish colour, because I couldn't find a nice high quality picture with actual green tea inside! In the end, I really like how this turned out, it actually looks like something that could possibly be in a magazine!:)

PRIDE Calendar

This my calender, which as you can see by the way it looks, it folds up to be a standing calendar. It was a pretty neat project. We needed to choose a program or something of that sort that we were involved in, and make a business calendar for it. I was originally making it for the Victory in Europe trip, but then I chose to make it for the basketball team I was on at the time. There was no logo large enough, and it got very blurry when I resized it, so I had to vector the logo. All in all, I feel this project turned out really nicely. I love the contrast between the top and bottom half.

Drink Labels

These were the labels we made for drink cans. I like the way they turned out, but the colours could have been a bit darker.
