Collage
For this project I used Adobe Illustrator, this project was my first time using the software and it was just to get familiar with it. My idea behind this project was mental illness. Everything around the clown is all in her mind.
Illustrator PSA
In this piece I used Adobe Illustrator to create a PSA about the dangers of texting and driving. The light in front of the car represents headlights as if the other car is about to crash into the main car. The skull represents the driver's reflection as he is about to be hit.
Dear Future
For this project I used Adobe Illustrator, my idea for this project was the overproduction of cheap clothes and how it pollutes the environment. The pile of clothes in the middle represents all the clothes we go through and don't wear anymore after trends die out and they are out of style. This project shows the consequences of that. The wacky art style represents the low quality of these clothes after they are mass produced by unsustainable brands.
Pen Tool
For this project I used Adobe Illustrator, I used the pen tool to outline a pair of glasses then filled the outline with black. I added a gradient to the lenses to give it some depth. I played around with a brush to add the kiss mark on the glasses that also look like a blood splatter. I also added a chalk line on the frame for an extra detail.
How to Poster
For this project I used Adobe Illustrator, I used the techniques I learned for the pen tool assignment to outline a picture of a PB & J and a picture of bread. I also hand drew the spread of peanut butter and jelly on steps 2, 3, and 4.
Magazine Cover
For this project I used Adobe Photoshop, I was way more familiar with Photoshop before this project so it was easier to put together. My idea behind this project was to talk about fake shoes. So, the tagline "Shoegazi" is a play on words. It is a combination of the words fugazi and shoe. Fugazi is a slang term meaning fake or fraud so when talking about shoegazi it refers to fake shoes or "reps" as some call them which is short for replicas. There's been a huge uprise in reps over the past 2 years as companies produce HIGHLY overpriced shoes that the common person cannot afford. So the person looks for alternatives which leads them to replicas of the shoe they desire.
