EXTRAS

     Like I mentioned in my bio., I enjoy skateboarding. My friends and I developed a skate team two years ago. We skate pretty much all year-round. Its a tremendous stress relief for me because i can just clear my mind, land a lot of my tricks, and hang out with my friends.

    Besides that, I run track for my high school. I do pole vaulting. Last year was the first that I haven't ran because I moved. Another sport that I'm in is baseball. Last summer was also the first season that I didn't play. I like to think that I'm pretty good at both of them.

M.A.D

   This is the project that I feel I did the best on during the first semester. The assignment was to research magazine ads, then design your own based on your research. I picked bones bearings. They are a skateboard company that makes professional bearings for skateboards. I read a lot of skateboard magazines, so this wasn't hard at all. I used an actual picture of a skateboarder who is sponsored by them and pixelated the image and added red, grey, and black squares in the pixelation. The squares were transparent so you could still see the skateboarder, but became more transparent as it got the the symbol.

Stars

    This was freelance. It was made in Adobe Illustrator. Basically all I did was used the shape maker and chose the star. I added plenty of them onto a page at different angles, had them merge, and made them contrast.

Literal Meaning

  In this project, we were required to make a design of a word and have it seem like its literal meaning. Obviously, I chose the words fat and skinny. In the fat design, the letters are big, bold, and overlap. In the skinny design, the letters were lengthy and in narrow text.

Vanishing Points

 The objective in this drawing is to give the illusion that the cubes look close up and far back. With some beings longer or shorter than others. I did this by drawing a line in the middle of the paper, and put a dot at each end. Those were the points that helped me draw my other lines to, to create my shapes.

Puma Ad

   This design involved a lot of research. We had to research the Puma website and make our design based off of what we found. Every thing in my design includes images and text that i found on the website. I just formatted them to my liking.

Speed Forms

  The object of this drawing was to just let my hand move with out second thought. From there, I made shapes and forms out of them. By adding shading, I also gave the apperance of depth and volume.

Mouse from Observation

  This is a drawing of a dell mouse from observation. It is for a larger project that I am working on. By drawing the mouse, it gave me a feel of what the curvatures to a mouse should be.
