Web Design

This is a restaurant website I chose to redesign. I was going for a laid back, casual theme. since it's a laid back, casual restaurant. But also I wanted to add a modern and artistic kind of touch to it.

These are links to pages that I have created in my web design class.

Photography

 This was created to tell a story.

I called this "The curious egg".

Animation

This is a movie where I had to take a tea pot "inscribe" my name on it and make it move, as well as the camera and the lights. I used the software Lightwave 7.

For this movie I created a bottle of wine and wineglass. I animated them both. At the start of the movie it looks like the wine bottle just finished pouring it's contents into the glass and then the glass, full of wine, dances around the bottle.

This is a clock I created. It doesn't tell a story but it does have a steampunk look to it.

This is a movie where I took my name and had it animated. This is the first movie animation I made in lightwave.

Creative Concepts and Copywriting

This is a charity campaign I chose to create ads and banners.

Typography

I created all of these projects that you see in this post were created in CS4 InDesign.

This is part of a magazine spread. I had to choose which what typeface designer to do a magazine spread on. This is the cover of an imaginary magazine called "FaceTime".

This is a book cover I designed in CS4 In Design

This was created for an  ad campaign for the 18 to 24 outdoorsy male.

Computer Graphics

This is a movie poster for the movie Marie Antoinette I created in CS4 Photoshop.

This is a book cover from one of my favorite series, I created with both CS4 Photoshop and Illustrator.

This project involved a news article about how parents are encouraged to participate in school functions yet not to get TOO involved.

Yes, the typo was intentional! :)
I used CS4 Illustrator.

This is a perfume ad that I created in CS4 Illustrator

Motion Graphics

This is a 10 second movie base on a fortune cookie saying "Smiling can make you look and feel younger." I used Adobe CS4 Photoshop and CS4 After Effects.

This is a cable channel commercial that I created using Adobe CS4 After Effects. This cable channel i called Sole2Sole. 

Video Techniques

This is  a two minute video on death.  The intention is to be thought with the concept of death. The title of the move is Death: The Karmic Effects on the Afterlife.
The camera that I used was a MiniDV camcorder and the software was Final Cut Pro 7.

Another project that was required in this class was a music video. The video, of course, had to be as long as the song chosen. I  chose the Eurhytmics song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)". For this video I made a stop motion pac-man theme using construction paper and hole-punchers. Naturally, not all of the characters (the evil, pac-man hunting ghosts) that I used were cut out by a hole- puncher. This video took me, over all, 48 hours to create. Now, it does have a very homemade "feel" to it. Basically because...well... it is homemade. I didn't have the tools to create a type of tripod or device that would hold my camera at a 90° angle to capture images on a flat surface. And being a poor, graphic design student that was on a ramen noodle budget, I didn't have the money to buy any equipment necessary for my idea. So, I had to make do with what I had. What's that saying our parents teach us when we are young? "When life throws you lemons...." Yeah it was kind of like that.

I honestly think all the work put in to making this video was well worth the effort! But of course maybe I'm just being a little bias.  :)

The software used to make this video was Microsoft Movie Maker and Final Cut Pro 7.
