she’s talkin’ to my mother

The levels on this photo are cuh-raaaaaazay! It’s not accurate at all but I enjoy the primary colors that ended up popping out.

i was only dreaming

Updating has been perhaps lax because I’ve had to start up another blog for my Advanced Design capstone … which you can see here. I’ve spent 5 of the past 7 evenings in the newsroom, was there earlier today and will be back tomorrow to work on this. I’ll be updating there weekly with projects and other design-related things.

Below is the Vox cover that I had published last week!

who broke my heart

I discovered the threshold tool in Photoshop this week. Cat is from sxc.hu, words are by ABC.

“people tell me to leave places, sometimes.”

Quick clipout assignment. What else would I make it of? I don’t own this tail or Kylie Minogue. I just found them on Google.

painted a song

Finished this several days ago and consequently almost forgot to turn it in today several times. Fourth assignment for magazine design, in which we had to create an illustration for either a story on electronic junk or cloning puppies. I chose puppies, duh.

leave it all down there

So in progress you don’t even know! (That’s the text I left over top of this last time I saved it to the server.)

Department page assignment for magazine design. Just took a break to pause and assess my progress. Look at these colors. I just can’t get away from blue + pink + green. My room used to be that color combo, till I kicked that to the curb by buying a new bedspread last year. Things have worked out much better since.

Current focus: the right page of this and the configuration of it. I really like the fox box (remember that?) in the bottom right corner, but it doesn’t seem anywhere near fantastic to have two helvetica neue headlines next to eachother. To switch the placement or switch the box? Only the next few hours I put into this will tell.

Input appreciated, plz, questions, thanks, hugs, baked goods. I need to trim my bangs again.

like an homage to high school musical

Okay guys this is what I spent a good portion (if not the majority) of my last days at the paper working on. Something completely different. And with the pen tool so I could get away with using the track pad on my laptop. What craziness!

The subject matter should be no surprise, though.

I’ve never been worried about having to include a watermark before (I’d be flattered if I did), but I felt a compelling need to throw one on here. Along with the hoochfest posters, this is like my tour de force. I can see it all going downhill from here.
