Wanted: Words of Wisdom :-)

Hello! to all of you out there...

As I was forced to join the land of social media by that evil professor of mine, I thought why not get some real use out of this.
My name is Bella and I'm a Graphic Design student and what I'm hoping to get out of this is some much needed feedback. Where better to get some unbiased feedback than from strangers just passing by. Ultimately the goal is to become a better designer and with your help I think I can better achieve this goal.
So, I enlist you whoever you maybe to browse around my page and leave some comments on my work. If you could please tell me more than "this design sucks!" I would greatly appreciate it. For example, what is it that you hate about it? Is the layout horrendous, the type seam out of place or hard to read. The colors make you want to puke! Just some specifces about what you like or hate about the design.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

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.

 This was a class project to produce a poster for the Museum of Play in New York. The poster was to  showcase one toy to be inducted into the museum.

Some quick practice paining in photoshop.

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.
