Second Fairy Vector

I did this one two months ago but didn't upload it until now. I like it the way it is but I'll add an extra spray of white in the background next time. Originally the sketch was really messy, but I was able to adjust the body shape with the anchor and vector points. The flower I made is the orange version of a second lotus vector I did a long time ago. It came out much better than I expected because I used gradients again.

Here are the original (super rough) sketches:

Little Bunny

I finally managed to export the HD version of the 3Ds Max project I did in school in semester 3, which was about three months ago. I spent one week working on this project for my final assignment and boy did I have a blast. At first I wasn't sure what I really wanted to do, but eventually I decided I wanted to do something simple but cute. Since I learned about textures, I was able to apply them to all the background objects. So the bricks, the wood, and the cement all look a little more realistic. Also, the skylight really helped.

I think the hardest part was putting the bunny together. I had to put many shapes inside his body so I can attach all the limbs together and they would all move in fluid motion (whenever I needed, anyway). I am pleased to say I am very happy with the final result. It is short, but cute, and I enjoyed working on it very much.



Man, I love 3D!!

Vectored Myself

I chose to vector myself for the "about" page of my previous website. It was my first time vectoring a person and I'm quite pleased with the outcome. The colours came out better than I expected. I personally thought it was going to be somewhat difficult because of the way the sun was shining on me the original photo. I definitely had fun with it, even though vectoring the image took a few days. All of this was done in Adobe Illustrator using the pen tool.

Here are both the original photo and vectored piece

Theta

Here are some designs from semester 2's typography class. The assignment was about hierarchy so I did three pieces that emphasized on the word theta, the symbol, and its definition. I'm only uploading two because these are the ones I really liked out of the three.

The first one emphasizes on the word "theta" rather than the symbol.

The symbol for theta is emphasized in the second one.

Design Practice

I wanted to practice designing website layouts (home pages, product pages, etc...) because I wanted ideas for my own website. The first idea that came to mind was flowers. The layout is meant to be quite basic since I didn't have too much time to work on it. The sidebar lacks more information but that requires some more research before it reaches completion. I'd probably extend it vertically and insert some more options and ads...but only if it looks nice.

Please make note that none of the floral images belong to me and they have only been used for practice. They are not used for sale and belong to their respective owners.

Shoe Ad

Here is a shoe ad I did for photography class in semester 2. I had to take several pictures my shoes, so I could choose the best one to use for a fake poster/ad. I chose Aerosoles because I owned a pair of their shoes, which were still new (in my original box) and were very nice. The logo was hard to do at first, but I vectored half of the letters afterwards to match one I found on Google. I had to place in shadows of my own with a brush tool because I couldn't keep the shadows from the original photo.

Typography and Lyrics

In semester 2, one of the assignments in typography required me to choose some lyrics from a song (in this case, Bring Me to Life by Evanescence) and emphasize significant words in a design of my choice. I always liked the middle part of the song so I chose it and placed it in my second design. The black and gray give it a darker feel, which I used to match the tone of the song.
