This is a project from way back in foundations where you cut out shapes from a square of paper and flip them out. I think it was called “expansion of the square”. Though, if I remember correctly, we were supposed to keep it abstract, I made a cityscape. And yes, you will probably see alot of work coming to the blog in the future.

This is a poster I did for typography 1. I will also post a nicer image of this  in my portfolio, but I like this fake Photoshopped version of it onto the newsprint. The assignment was to make a poster about a prominent typographer and use their font and a style that matches who they are or were. I chose to use the font Egyptienne, because I just really like slab serifs (note this site and the sketchfactory logo).

This is something I am still working on. It will be a flow chart of my life this coming Fall. Don’t judge anything but my spelling and grammar yet, I still have some little images to draw.

This was a tiny little fun project I had in design tech class. I liked the simplicity of the sketchy style.

This was a project were I made to game covers in the style of EA Sports covers. I use the televangelist Tammy Taye and Jim Bakker for one, and media whores ex presidential candidates, Reverend Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton. This is an image I would suggest clicking on so you can see it larger and see the details of my work.

This was a collaboration between me and Tiffany Hanendel. The project was to create a package that held four standard size light-bulbs. It had to be built out of a single sheet of paper with no more than one clued edge. Then it was dropped from the second floor, with the grade based on how many light-bulbs survived. (0=F, 4=A) Me and Tiffany made an A. These photos were take by Sarah Eskew and the sketch on the bottom was made by Matt Magill.

This is from a class project were we had to sketch and design a bird graphic. I choose the Northern Bobwhite Quail. Though it is not as exotic a bird as what my classmates did, I have plans on using a quail in one of my prints in the future and so I was able to kill to birds with one stone.

Here is one of the projects that I did for class this last semester. We start by sketching an image and then translating it into black and white. The goal is to learn about shape, curve tension, proportions, and to make the object look three dimensional even when its in just black and white.
