Miscellaneous Madness



I just thought I'd throw up some graphic designy-type stuff that I've done for the heck of it. I'm not NEARLY as happy with this stuff as I am my photography, which is why I think I'll focus on graphic design a lot more in college than on photography. I have a lot to learn and tons of room to improve.

The first piece is a three-step process of an art piece I was trying to do for my Point Loma application, but it fell through in the end and I didn't finish it... maybe I'll try coming back to it another time. It was a play off of one of my favorite bible verses, "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the well-spring of life." I really need to learn how to color on photoshop and get my hands on a better drawing tablet.

The second piece is one you may recognize from an earlier post. It was a graphic to go along with a promotion for a big service project we used to do at Lake Avenue called Black Out. It was intended to raise awareness to all of the injustices in our world from across the globe, right up to our door step. This was something I whipped up in a couple hours in the morning before I left to go on a mini missions trip for a weekend to East LA, Pico Union Dist.

The third piece has no story behind it. I just got bored and had some time to kill so I grabbed a couple cloudy-ish type brushes for Photoshop, found a skyline picture, and when to work manipulating the shot. I threw in the colors, the sky, the reflection on the water, and the glow of the city. The End.
