CubeeCraft

CubeeCraft, November 2013
Cubeecraft, is boxed art that defines a character in its simplest form. No glue or tape needed. Just folding; it's like origami, just more complicated. This character is named Katsuma from Moshi Monsters. I also don't have any idea what Moshi Monsters are, but my friend had a drawing of him and he looked pretty cool, so I decided to go with him.
This was a pretty cool project, but editing it... oh, that's quite a story.
The program I used was Adobe Illustrator. It's not quite as simple as InDesign or Photoshop and the Pen Tool; oy vey. It was quite frustrating and most times I couldn't get it to work because it's just so complicated! Ugh. But I did finish, thankfully.
I still haven't yet created it just because I've been so busy with projects. But I will. I'll make sure of it.

Magazine Cover

Magazine Cover, October 2013
This, by far, has got to be my most favorite project of all time! I literally slaved over this project because I was so passionate. Music, you can probably tell, is a passion of mines. I loved the logo, which I designed myself, and all its components. I just love it. Plus the article ideas.
* I both like Union J and 1D, but sorry, I favor Union J. :P
To create this, I used InDesign. It's a bit more complicated than Photoshop, but has the same basic tools, just on a more advanced level. And it didn't have the Magic Wand Tool, so I had to export back to Photoshop for a simple change. That's just the problem, I encountered. I loved, loved this project.

National Geographic Cover

National Geographic Cover, September 2013
Once after creating my Franken-Darwin creature, our next project was to incorporate our creature onto a cover of our own National Geographic cover. 
Since my creature and its resolution was quite a bit small, I had to think of something creative so I didn't have to zoom in quite as much. So I input in a camera with the creature in the viewer, so it has the illusion of it being found and caught on camera. Another thing I love, is the title of "National Geographic." I had to use different layers of paint to have that effect. Cool, isn't it? The only thing That I'd change would probably be - if I had more time - the entire thing itself. If only the image resolution of the creature could've been higher.
I used Photoshop and the same basic tools. (The wonders of Photoshop and what it can do ;)

Franken-Dawinism

Franken-Darwinism, September 2013
Fraken-Darwinism is basically taking different parts of different animals to create one monstrous creature. My "pewtle" is part penguin, green sea turtle, and a screech owl.
This took a long while and a lot of patience to create. It's a bit hard to create because one has to consider many factors; the position of the animal and which parts of the body. What I really loved is the over-lay of owl feathers that I included on the penguin body. I had to use various tools to make it look like it's authentic... But it doesn't, not really. I could have done better with more time and a more creative thought process. These are just some of my favorite animals slapped together.
The program that I used was Photoshop. It's a much bigger jump from my first project, isn't it? Same basic tools used, along with the Clone Stamp Tool, the Polygonal Lasso Tool, Patch Tool, Blur Tool, and my favorite: the Magic Wand Tool.

Class Sign

Class Sign, August 2013

For this assignment, which is my first, I thought was so good, seeing from my point of view then. As I look back compared to what I have achieved, this is... I could have done way better. I was so proud of it back then, now... it's just... well, its pretty cool, but I've done more and achieve 10x this.

I was just learning how to use the basic options of Photoshop then, but still pretty cool. The basic tools used that were used in the making were: Text Tool, Custom Shape Tool, Rectangle Tool, and the Gradient Tool. With the Text Tool, I "warped" certain texts creating cool effects. The Paint/Fill Tool was used to color and of course the Selection Tool. And that's a wrap.
