Holiday Travel

With the semester over and the holiday travel underway it's time for a short break.  No time for intellectual lazyness, as my professor says. I will be posting up some just for fun designs soon. Happy Holidays everyone!

Line

Here we had to make a grid of over 100 cells and make the images work together as well as move the eye through the picture.  The images came from a number of photos, sketches and book. A few of my own as well.

Face Off

Left Face

Right Face

In this project we were to explore the use of line to show or not show the symmetry of the human face. This picture is composed of a photo of an old fisherman and the creatures you find in the ocean. I used the line quality in each creature to deconstruct the face of the man. I used the same side of his face to imply symmetry, I wanted to leave it ambiguous.

Camouflage

Self

The Idea behind this project was to use camouflage as a part of a self portrait.  Can you find me? Hint I'm not the one in the lower left.

Illustrator

Posters

Digital Design @ S.A.C

The class project was to design a poster for San Antonio College Digital Design course. The thinking behind this was that digital design has an anatomy of it's own.  Used the split brain to show the inside of a student designer brain as well as a way to show case what S.A.C has to offer as far as their Digital Design course. 

Corvus

Corvus is a constellation from Greek mythology. The myth of Corvus is that Apollo was about to make a sacrifice to Zeus and sent the crow to fetch water from a running spring. The crow flew off with a bowl in its claws until it came to a fig tree laden with fruit. Ignoring the orders of Apollo, the crow waited several days for the fruit to ripen forcing Apollo to find water for himself. The crow had his fill of the delicious fruit, and looked around for an alibi. He found a water-serpent and blamed the snake for blocking the spring. Apollo with his skill of prophecy, saw through the lie and condemned the crow to a life of thirst. Apollo cast the crow, cup and the snake into the sky as a reminder of what comes of lies.

Cetus

The constellation of the northern winter sky known as Cetus was discovered by David Fabricius in 1596. Cetus is said to be a huge fish-like sea monster.

Musca

The Musca is a constellation found in the souther sky around the south pole.
