The Abstract Emotions of Macbeth

Problem: select a few adjectives for the scene you want to design for Tim Burton's rendition of Macbeth and create an abstract image based on one or two of them. If you want to know what I was going for, but otherwise try to guess it. If you get it right, tell me. If you don't, stay quiet so you don't hurt my feelings, we good? 

The words were: spacious and vulnerable

An Exercise in Abstraction

Problem: Visually depict the word "delighted" without using representational art. 5 minutes. (I am more embarrassed than usual about my post today...)

But hey, I did a few things well. The pastel color choices help lend themselves to feeling happy. (I'm trying to make myself feel better.)

The First Actual Big Project in This Class

The problem: Pretend the Tolkein foundation contacted you to create a road sign for the Lord of the Rings universe.

Enjoy, nerds. It's cute, right? <3 We've all been recommended to email this to Peter Jackson, or whoever we can get a hold of who works under him. There's a Cal State Fullerton student working in that company now, who knows?

We learned how to make eyes in illustrator. Basically we played with the pen tool and the different gradient tools.

I learned how to put a copyright on my work today

Bam.

The Fun of Week One

I'm sorry, I'm not a poet.

But this piece above was inspired by poetry and an extremely short time-limit. 

We've also been studying how signs are made. I hope you can tell what this guy is doing. This exercise is all leading up to making a street sign for the Lord of the Rings universe.

This just hurt. Only squares are allowed--make a Little Red Riding Hood as fast as you can. It could pass as an 80s gameboy game, right?

Anyway, see you next week, hopefully a marked improvement will be evident.

Dear bloggers and readers

I want you all to know...

I check this too often.
And hi, Russia.
...I'll delete this post when I have something better to put on, yes?
