Nail Relief

This project was done for my 3d design class. We were the guinea pigs for this project. We had to show relief by using nails hammered in at different heights. I'm not too fond of my design, but it came out alright. This project was very difficult because the wood was splitting as you hammered more and more nails. I used about 6 boxes of nails, it's heavy!

Emotions in Text

This was a project done in photoshop for my Intro to Digital art class. This was one of the very first projects we did in this class. I'm not too skilled in photoshop, so not much emotion is expressed through the text. But I think they still look cool! The idea was to express the word written through colors, movement, etc. Here's two examples that I did, "jumbled" and "near-sighted".

Inflatable!

This was a project for 3d design. The class was separated into 2 groups to make an inflatable sculpture depicting nature. It had to be at least 16 feet in one direction. We used painter's plastic (the plastic you would put on the ground while painting your house) and packaging tape. You probably can't tell what the inflatable is, sadly not a lot of people could. It's a dragonfly!The entire class! The other inflatable is a frog. This picture is a very bad angle to see the inflatables.

Color Correction

Just thought I'd throw this in here. I color corrected this picture in photoshop for my Intro to Digital class. I hope you can tell which one is the one I edited!

Show Me the Money (Remake)

This was a project for an Intro to Digital Art class. The project was to choose a 5 minute clip from any movie and film our own version. The catch was, we only could have one actor to play all the characters. It was a group project, so I helped with the filming and editing. It's not perfect, but for the amount of time we were given, it came out pretty good. There are sound errors and poor lighting in some scenes, but I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

An Egg-cellent Decision

This project was for my 3d design class. It is made of wire and yarn. I'm not too happy with the turn out. The picture makes the yarn look purplish/brown, however it is black yarn. It was very time consuming to weave the wire with the yarn. If you can't tell, it is a frying pan with a whole egg, and a fried egg. It is supposed to resemble the decisions you will make throughout your day. Since breakfast is the first meal of the day, there are many ways to prepare an egg. The way you decide may change your whole day!

The Walk of Fame

This is the beginning process of a pair of shoes I had to do for a 3D design class. The heel is made with foil and taped on, then paper mached. The base of the shoe is made from cardboard and is paper mached as well. 

Here is the finished product. The straps are made from bristol board and paper mached. The shoes are then covered with tabloids to represent the not-so glamorous life of celebrities. The shoes are an open shoe, just like the personal lives of celebrities.
