Inner Self

For this project, we had to create a poster inspired by the works of Banksy using a photo of ourselves. I chose to use a picture from my senior portraits that had a very unique contrast to it. I accidentally forgot to lock my bottom layer, and the copy of the picture on top got moved to the left a little. This was a happy accident. When I used image trace, it looked almost as if I was watching myself. Very creepy, but I'm in love with what happened. It reminded me of having to hide parts of yourself for fear of what could happen. You have to hide your inner demons from the world, but what happens when they come out?
This is the original photo shot by Corrine at Silverbox Studios in Pennsylvania.

Volkswagen Mesh Mug

Image
At home, I own a Volkswagen Beetle that I love very much. When I was shopping one day, I saw this mug and it reminded me of my little car. The bright colors and hippie like patterns makes the mug special. When we were assigned this project, this mug was the first thing that came to my head. I wanted to see if I would be able to create one of my favorite objects on the computer. I am very pleased with the results. It took me about three hours because I had to hand trace every single flower and leaf on the mug. I am very pleased with the results.

Calligram Examples

This calligram is of Bruno Mars, one of my favorite artists of all time. The details in it are fascinating and the color really works with this image. I love the sunglasses and how it looks like their is a reflection on them with the open space on the right lens. His lyrics surround his head as if he had just thought of them and they are flowing out of his brain. This calligram is very unique and different. I love the different perspective that it took. Instead of using the whole fish like most artists would do, they decided to use the head. I especially love the bubbles and how they came out. It offered something different that most calligrams with a fish don't have. I love this calligram almost as much as I love Buzz Lightyear.  Anything Disney immediately draws my attention, and this one did not disappoint. No matter how far you are away from this piece, you can still tell that it is Buzz Lightyear which is a really cool aspect. I have seen other work from this art...
