Some Graphic Design Stuff

In addition to taking Illustration classes, I'm also required to take a couple of graphic design classes. Here is some work from those classes! Let it be known that I don't consider myself a graphic designer by any means!

In one class we had an in-class assignment to design a gift card for Target. All I could see in that Target logo was an eyeball so I decided to make a little face. It's pretty simple but I think it's cute.

Okay, haha. I think this needs some explaining. The assignment was to redesign a book cover and I found this book at the library called Japanamerica, which was all about Japanese influence in the U.S. If you're familiar with Japanese animation, panty shots are fairly common... and that turned into this. Hahaha. Don't mind the weird colors on the edges. I was trying uploading the jpeg file but it wasn't working for some reason so I had to crop this off of my desktop.

This is a three-piece ad campaign for Roots and Shoots. Click them to full-view! Had the same problem with these as I did with the book cover... when I uploaded them the color got all weird. So don't mind the stray black lines. Anywho, I think my layouts have gotten much better since the book cover. I used a lot of gridlines to try and keep everything fairly consistent. I think they came out pretty well. :)

That's all for now, I'll post some Illustration stuff next time!

Older Artwork

These are some of the pieces that mentioned in my last post that I deleted from DA to post on a new account but never got around to it. So here they are! (I'll post with newer stuff after this!)

"Pirate Fashion" We had a free project choice and I decided to do fashion(??). I have no idea where all of this came from. It took me forever but it's like my favorite piece.
"A Day in the Life" I made this after I ran into the corner of a wall at my house and blacked out, giving me a bad-ass scar across my face for about a week.
Characters L-R: The Overly Optimistic Inchworm, Akaru, Pilz, The Nameless Emo Worm


"Till Death (Do Us Part)" Abstract painting assignment. I went kinda crazy on this project... :D Supposed to have a marriage theme? Interpret as you wish!
"Lenore" Sketch of an OC, Lenore.



"Sheep Go To Heaven" I wanted to play with watercolors!
Uhhhh my Narutardness dwindled my senior year... once it came to America, haha. Piece was for a contest on DA. Lots of anatomy and photoshop practice.
Character is woman!Obito from Naruto
And we'll end this with some Phoenix Wright crap I did at 3 AM ages ago!lol I don't even know.

I can't find one piece that I did my Junior year of high school that won an international contest, but I know my dad has it so I'll snag it from him and post it once I get it! It is worth posting. :) I will post more older artwork in the future, I still have things I want to share; but I'll post some newer stuff next!

Oh and let's see if this public facebook link to my artwork works! More older stuff here!
