Update
I've updated the list of things to do for school/assignments. If you want, you can check it out
Watercolor & Photoshop
Last week, we were asked to do five, 10 minute watercolor paintings of random toy models that were shown. Forgive my crappy paint skills.
Then we were asked to make a color palette/brush preset/texture rendering.
This is from my PORTFOLIO BLOG

Back 2 Basics
These are just my parts. Full session video uploading soon to crew channel.
Just a whole lotta old moves & basics.
Security came and kicked us out 'cause of these noob skateboarders, so we didn't have time to really do aynthing. Hence the shortness, haha.

Photography Short
Texture 1
Sock
Reminded me of two things.
1) Grasslands from above
2) Whole bunch of pluck-able feathers from afar

Texture 2
Symmetrical texture. It's pretty trippy if you keep looking at it.
Texture 3
I forgot the proper terminology for these but they are coin tube holders.
For this one I tried to MAKE a texture instead of shooting whats already made.The following pictures were for photography class. We were simply asked to get 3 pictures of textures.
Good Day
Finally, it's all done and over with. For the most part.
[✓] Photography texture assignment
[✓] Sports logo assignment
I'm just glad this 3.5 hour of illustrator is done and over with. Not that I didn't enjoy doing it, it was very fun let me assure you (call me crazy if you think that I think this is fun), but it was just so time consuming. Definitely not a bother though. I'm planning to do a 2nd one just for kicks - heck maybe even a third one if I get to it.
Totally forgot about Tedford's Photoshop paint/texture assignment. Will have to find the painting @ home tonight and somehow get it done for tonight (aiming for midnight), even though I am going out tonight.
AFAIK (as far as I know), Aviva's Pos/Neg typography composition assignment is due the week after this upcoming week? Oh well, I'm going to finish everything up this weekend.
Anyhow, to YorkU for practice.
Ganna be a fun night!
Will upload Illus. stuff in a bit.

DMA179 - Sketch Upload
Forgive my sad excuse of an attempt to draw a cartoon bunny in a mere 10 minutes. This is for my Sketching for Communications class as we had to draw a bunny in 10 minutes, then asked to list out possible superpowers and names for it. Also a backstory.
I've posted this on my SCHOOLONLY/PORTFOLIO blog, TUMBLR
Spoons is no ordinary bunny. He comes from a place where numbers and codes overtake reality and his psychic mind abilities allow him to control objects with his mind while watching from afar.
He is wise as he attempts to train all Earth bunnies so that his plan of ruling the world may come to reality. His goofy appearance may have him look like a fool but he is not one to be underestimated. When his bunny soldiers get out of line, Spoons disciplines them by whacking them with -obvious- his spoon. Think of it as a magic wand, if you will. His origins are unknown, considering he is from a different quadrant of the universe and he himself has no idea how he arrived on Earth.
His next move. .

Guess it takes us back (even my parents) to when we were young and used to play outside; even though when you look back from adulthood, you just chuckle at how childish you used to be. . .
Playing near the river/creek with other kids trying to catch tiny fishies, riding your bike home while getting caught in the rain, building some forts out of wood&dirt then coming home all dirty, catching fireflies in the field then ending up with several minor cuts.
Kids.
I guess really, nobody ever really grows up. :)

Stereo-Typography
"Type study: Stereo-typography
May 17, 2011
This is part of a series of guest posts on web typography. Today’s post was written by Dan Mall of Big Spaceship.Choosing a typeface is an art. It requires a sense of taste, style, genius, and dumb luck.But it’s also a science. We can apply logic and history in a way that points us in the right direction and deters us from poor choices. The right typeface can inspire interfaces, but what inspires those typographic decisions in the first place?
Enter stereo-typography, the art of using stereotypes to inform your type choices. Designing with stereotypes makes those initial choices a bit easier. Big = loud. Small = quiet. Smooth = elegant. Irregular = experimental. Look for typefaces whose letterforms embody a characteristic you’d like to subconsciously communicate."Read rest of the article here.

And it creeped. .
. . in silence, gaining what little information was available only to find out that it was the right location. I was working away on my latest project when I had received that phone call. .
It rung in my ears like deathly wedding bells, trembling, shivering as I looked up upon my dark surroundings.
"Oh what have I done to deserve such a curse to be followed!? For this shadow to creep upon my figure forevermore!?"
Suddenly the door creaked and I asked, "who goes there!" But no response. It was like I was in a void where no being could hear my thoughts, my voice.
I cautiously left the room not aware of my surroundings with no source of vision, then suddenly something grabbed hold. I panicked and tried to break free but it's grip was too tight, and as I turned around I saw a humanly figure in front of me. . .
"HI 8D"

It was my girlfriend.

The Creative Mind
Our minds are brilliant. No, it's beyond brilliant - what our minds are capable of is far beyond the reaches of science yet we are trapped within this standard of what and how we think and view things.
Creative minds.
-Imitate to Innovate-
Our creative minds have been damaged by decades of research into psychology, sociology, and anthropology - holy cow batman! At the cost of figuring out who and what we're made of, we've sacrificed a crap-load of mental processing!
This post has no real hard-based argument of any sort and I'm not going to blabber on about such topics, it's just to get you thinking about . . . SOMETHING, instead of aimlessly looking into the screen reading whatever is on your screen like a zombie.
:)
. . . Did it work?
