leaf

this is my leaf project. Overall I enjoyed my drawing class this year.

time Capsule

This is my final project. It needs rotated but I wanted to put a picture on here for the time being. So if you would please just turn your head or computer. I promise a rotated version will go up soon. Our project was to contain a time capsule for the first year students. It had to have a community aspect of it/everyone had to feel apart of it and it would only rep. of our class. My concept was reflection. I researched a lot on what types of things reflect such as, water, glass, pictures, and metal. I finally choose aluminum. There is a dim light that comes through the top of my project. I didn't want it to be too bright that people wouldn't want to look in it. Because the names of every student who finishes first year will be engraved on the inside, as a nice surprise. The piece itself will hang about 5'5" or so. I want enough people to be able to look into in and not really up into it.
I choose to put the curly cue's at the top of it because when I had no idea what to do, i started to cut random pieces of metal. Thus I discovered the metal curled itself, more than it did when you tried to bend it. I thought that this was very interesting just like very first year student finds his/her way. I wish however that instead of just putting the curly cue's only at the top, that i would have engulfed them on the inside and around the entire project. Overall I am happy with this project. I am however disappointed in myself because my craft was not where I wanted it to be, nor was the actual project itself.

Final Project

This is what my project looks like if you're looking straight up at it from underneath.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

I have this poster, and I really enjoy it. I could have bought other ones but this one really interested me. I like how the different colored people is reflected in the text at the top. I also think the light swirl the goes around the page is also really successful. I feel like if they hadn't put that in the poster would have been kind of awkward and off. This way all of the colors and aspect of it are brought together.

Beatles

ha this cd cover just makes me laugh. I dont even know hwo's in the photo but I really enjoy it. It looks like there are a bunch of famous people. I enjoy the flowered name in the foreground. I also enjoy how towards the back of the crowd it looks like peoples faces were jut planted on. But in planting them on they did a good job of making it look like a crowd. I just think it's a funny and whimsical cover.

All the Stars and Boulevards

All the Stars and Boulevards is a really interesting cd cover. What I like most about this is that the road goes around the giant human. I also enjoy how it has kind of a cartoon about it. In the sense that isn't well known the story of the giant human that comes and crushes the city. I also like the sky in the background of this cover. Although it's not the main focal point it's really successful.

Let love in

Goo Goo Dolls is probably my favorite band, but their songs and cd covers are always very artfull (if that's a word). This is my favorite. They don't have drawings as their covers instead they use photos. But this is a pretty intense photo. Although it's simple I really enjoy the feeling the girl has in her eye. I also enjoy how they only put half of her face on the cover and not all of it. When I went to their concert they had this as a background for the opening song and it was intense, I really enjoy it.
