lens flare

This is an image I made in Illustrator last term.

Here it is with the lens flare.

Final Charley Harper

missed class on Thursday due to illness... thought printing was covered... have been frantically trying to figure out what to do on my own... so happy to read that it will be covered on Tuesday.


Coming up with the idea was a little tricky. I was trying to add too much and Charley Harper's designs were very simple. I also decided not to do live trace because he used very clean images that did not look hand drawn.

I made the trees a little smaller and the haron a little bigger.




I changed the type face (because the one I used before isn't on my computer) gave the heading more weight, aligned the text, and added trees all the way down the side.

This was fun, but I wish designing came more naturally to me.

This is fun in a really sick kind of way... save me before I start making banners for facebook!

Charley Harper postcard

I got the idea form this image, but I made it all Pacific NW.
First I made the trees. Then I used the pen tool to draw the haron. I used the colors from this images.

last one

for some reason I can't upload the last image.

... never mind. I was able to on Safari, don't know what was going on.

Charley Harper images

I might try to do something like this of my doggies.

I dig this one + the name is some much fun to say "Beetle Battle".

I love the colors in this one and the patterns made by the ripples in the water. It looks like old school linoleum.

here is the one I made

over and over

It is awesome that we can use patterns from the past to represent their original content or to make something completely new. Reusing patterns for the past also gives us the opportunity to see what was successful instead of trying brand new things. Perhaps over the course of time we will narrow down our pattern selections to only a handful of "good" ones.

The red flowers look great against the blue sky.

The like how they used different patterns to make the different parts of the peacock, like the neck and feathers.

This is by David Mascha. I love the colors and use of different patterns.

intro

Hey guys!

I have a good amount of computer experience. I was a multimedia student at PCC until last term when I started taking classes here.

I love love love dragon boat. I have been doing it for 5 years. This summer my team is going to Korea to compete in the ICF Club Crew world championship.

My favorite book is Ishmael and as for magazines I guess I would say Adbusters.

Not sure about a website...
