Bullfight Animation

Here is my 30 second animation. I really tried with this one. The original image is from a bullfight in Madrid, Spain, when I studied abroad last summer.

My Very First Movie!

This is my very first attempt at a movie. I took this from apple.com/trailers, from a movie called College. I changed it around a lot and I'm really proud of my final result! It took hours and hours and hours, but I'm pretty happy with it. Enjoy!

Here is my first attempt at animation! It's not very good, but it's my first try! The original image is a beach that I found on google images, and I just played with a bunch of different filters on photoshop. Enjoy!

Menu

Here is my menu. It took me hours and hours and hours to finish, but I'm actually really proud of it. I'd eat at my restaurant. :)

They're broken up into sides. One side is the cover, the other is the inside of the menu. It's a three-fold.

Maximal

Not finished, here is a start: I completely changed it around, and I'm really happy with the new result.
Here it is:

My favorite indesign tutorials!

So indesign has caused me more problems than photoshop or illustrator. I've really struggled with this one, and here are some of the tutorials that have helped me get through it.

Minimal Art Poem

This poem was really, really difficult for me to do. I'm still not 100% happy with it, or 100% sure this is a minimal poem, but I spent a couple of hours on it. The poem is Petals by Amy Lowell.

Favorite Illustrator Tutorials!

Business Cards and Original Logos

I had trouble getting all of the business cards on one document, but here they are! My logos are included on the cards!

Changed Logo

For this assignment, I wanted to do something fun. The first is my changed logo. The second is the original logo. I changed the logo for Disney into the logo for Lisa, with Cinderella's castle in the background. I'm really proud of this one. I think I might be starting to get the hang of Illustrator... Well, maybe.

Calligram Poem

For this assignment, I used the poem "Petals" by Amy Lowell. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.


Here is the original poem as well:

Petals by Amy Lowell

Life is a stream
On which we strew
Petal by petal the flower of our heart;
The end lost in dream,
They float past our view,
We only watch their glad, early start.
Freighted with hope,
Crimsoned with joy,
We scatter the leaves of our opening rose;
Their widening scope,
Their distant employ,
We never shall know. And the stream as it flows
Sweeps them away,
Each one is gone
Ever beyond into infinite ways.
We alone stay
While years hurry on,
The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays.

Posters

Posters, created on Illustrator. This
assignment was easily the hardest
one yet.

My first attempt, in black and white.
The original image is me, in a black
and white dress. This poster caused
me quite a few problems.

My second attempt. This one caused me
even more issues than the first.

Favorite Photoshop Tutorials

I've been having quite a few problems with Photoshop, so I was glad to have to try to pick three tutorials that I enjoy. Well, here they are:

First feelings of Art 210

I'm still not 100% sure what to think about Art 210. The first class was full of information, and I learned quite a bit about the beginning of computers. While completing the ASCII art assignment, I have to admit I struggled a little bit. I think a lot of the assignments will be difficult to complete, but I know that at the end of the summer session, I'll have learned so much about digital arts. I look forward to a tough, but interesting summer.
