Pop Surrealism

This is the other surrealism piece I did in May that I forgot to post. I didn't like it much. It became a bit rushed and I changed ideas last minute.

Traditional Surrealism

In Digital Design II this week, we took a look at the works of Salvador Dali and other artists that were part of the Surrealism movement. We had to create two pieces, one using aspects of traditional surrealism and one with pop surrealism aspects. This is what I came up with for my traditional one. The pop surrealism one should be finished by next Friday.

Super Me

In Digital Design II we were introduced to Adobe Premiere Pro. We were challenged with making an animation showing us doing a task that is humanly impossible. I used a simple blue screen video over a still frame background. I like how it turned out. It was much better but became corrupted, so I threw it all together to meet deadline, but I still think it turned out good in the end.

Britto Portrait

In Digital Design II we talked about the artist Roberto Britto and discussed his art style and looked at his pictures. His style is very unique. On our first project using Adobe Illustrator, we created a portrait inspired by Britto. I left my face the way it was because of the effect it gave.

My First Animation

This is my first post for a while. Recently in Digital Design II(I passed one already), we have been talking about animations. We made a few of them just to become familiar with how they work. Using a combination of QUIDAM 2 and Photoshop, we made a simple 3-D animation. It's nothing outstanding, but it's a step towards high quality complex animations. I would have liked to loop this a few times to show the action better.

Movie Poster

Have you ever seen a moive poster and it just catches your eye? This is actually a big art form and is a very important selling point of the industry. If the poster doesn't look good, then why would you see the movie? Movie poster designers have basically one second to sell the movie to you, with no sound or movement. That was the basis of this assignment in Digital Design. We had to design a movie poster, entirely from scratch, with our own pictures. It could be a spinoff or a brand new movie. I really like the way mine turned out. Thanks to my step-dad for the great photograph, there really wasn't much I had to do to make it work. One student even thought it was real until I told him it wasn't.

Figure Drawing

Another class available here is figure drawing. Their motto is, "If you can draw the figure, you can draw anything!". Our Digital Design class was asked to make a new poster to advertise the class around school. The best poster is going to be printed and put up in the school. I know it isn't anything fancy, but it's all i could come up with.

Edit: This poster was picked and posted in the school.
