My journey in Design

2010-05-05T09:16:00.000-07:00

This is the still life project who i am taking a few bits of Joan Miro's style and incorporating it into my painting. It is a acrylic gesso on the first layer, then all oils on top of it.

2010-05-05T09:12:00.000-07:00

This is the third and final of the series of 3. This is a portrait of my mother, a picture taken by me held down by a gel medium with oils all over the whole picture. The end product of the self identity series.

2010-05-05T09:09:00.000-07:00

This is the Second in the series of 3, this is a picture of a easter island stone head held down with a gel medium and oils painted all over the top. This is in the self identity project.

2010-05-05T09:06:00.001-07:00

This is the First of a series of 3 paintings done with a self identity quote. This is a picture held down with a gel medium with mixed oils on the top.

2010-05-05T09:03:00.001-07:00

This is taken in the middle of the project of the oil and wax rendition of a well known painters work, whom i choose Van Gough.

2010-05-05T09:01:00.000-07:00

This is a rendition of a Van Gough painting that we used cold wax and oils on a board. This is the first Day of work.

2010-02-16T08:10:00.001-08:00

In this project we had to use black and white oil paint to achieve a ourline of 5 figures with shadows. Through the time in class we would achieve proper shading so that the picture would look life like.

Type as a pattern

2009-12-13T16:11:00.000-08:00

In this project we went on to the program Illustrator and created different borders using different typefaces.

In this project we went onto the program Illustrator and created different Medallions out of different letters of typeface.

In this project we went on the application Illustrator and chose different type faces and made patterns out of them.

Self Identity

2009-12-13T16:02:00.000-08:00

This also had to do with the self-identity project. I chose this photo to go with the theme of Introspection. I thought that this clearly deals with what women go through in the fight to fit in and conform to the stereotype that the media had put on women and their bodies.

Self Identity

2009-12-13T15:59:00.000-08:00

In this project we had to go with the theme of self-identity and i chose rebellion. We had to have half of it hand made and the other half of found materials. I thought that this picture was the perfect embodiment of rebellion

Metamorphisis

2009-12-13T15:55:00.000-08:00

In this project we had to create a object morphing into another object. Our message of the end product is social justice. We had to have at least 3 steps in between each original image. My message is do video games cause violence in the youth? I used a controller and screen with people fighting on it morphing into a grenade exploding.

This is the final stage of the composition and line project. In this project I have narrowed the 9 most successful drawings, and placed them on a grid as shown here. In this I am trying to avoid the Gestalt groupings, and have some of the images continue off the space leaving the white space open. This has been traced using the light box, and a fine tip sharpie marker.

This is one of the middle stages of the composition and line project. In this project I have narrowed the 9 most successful drawings, and placed them on a grid as shown here.

For this design I used black washable paint, a 18 x 24 sheet of drawing paper and a household paint brush. The idea was to create non-objective designs using out name as the basis, but you didn't want to be able to read your name in the end. In this design i used heavier strokes and lines. I wanted more of a modern feel, something very nonobjective and used only a few letters, but if you look close so many possibilities stem from these letters, and it looks so simple, yet so complex.

For this design I used black washable paint, a 18 x 24 sheet of drawing paper and a household paint brush. The idea was to create non-objective designs using out name as the basis, but you didn't want to be able to read your name in the end. I used curved letters that kind of flow around, and some of the letters connect, but still this is more of a readable font, but still interesting.

For this design I used black washable paint, a 18 x 24 sheet of drawing paper and a household paint brush. The idea was to create non-objective designs using out name as the basis, but you didn't want to be able to read your name in the end. I used rounded strokes in this design and off the rounded stroke i would incorporate a more readable letter to balance it out, and it came out very interesting and again like a old language that no one can read.

For this design I used black washable paint, a 18 x 24 sheet of drawing paper and a household paint brush. The idea was to create non-objective designs using out name as the basis, but you didn't want to be able to read your name in the end. My method consisted of just painting spontaneous lines, and connecting them so that letters formed and just off a single letter i created more and more. In the end it looks like a symbol or a old language which is very intriguing.

This is the shape exercise where we took a 8 x 10 piece of bristol board and a 4 inch square of black construction paper, and just as in the previous 2 designs I destroyed the square as much as i could, yet hoping the viewer could still catch the glimpse of a square. I cut small pieces and just went with any type of shape i could cut and just went with it. The clean up on all 3 of these designs was very difficult, but for the intricacy of the designs its understandable.

This design is in the shape exercise where we took a 8 x 10 piece of bristol board and a 4 inch square of black construction paper, and created a design seeing how much we could destroy the identity of the square. It is the same idea as the first posting but a completely different approach where you can see more of the square itself, yet shapes are still a huge part of it.

2009-10-14T03:55:00.000-07:00

This was the shape exercise we did with a 8 x 10 piece of bristol board and using a 4 inch square of black construction paper. I took the black construction paper and with a Xacto knife i cut very snall shapes and lines to make a non-objective design, so that you could not recognize the actual square it once was, yet still retaining a essence of the square itself. This was a very tedious and time consuming project, but the outcome is well worth it.
