TED Talk _favorite video of the week!

Here is my favorite TED Talk video this week. Its about Janet Echelman, a well known artist who designed these extremely large sculptures that are made of a special light weight material which then allows these beautiful sculptures to float above land and defying the laws of gravity. My reason for choosing this particular video is because it is inspiring and its both artistic, mathematically, and designed with so much thought and research, yet it appears so simple to the common eye.

My pick for Flash video_ Art 145

Hello fellow classmates, I decided to take the multimedia design course to improve my flash and dreamweaver skills and create motion graphics such as the one I've chosen.  Im really looking forward to this semester :)

Final surreal project idea

Hello fellow classmates here is a mock up to my final project composition. The theme of my pice is SUBSTANCE ABUSE. My plan is to portray the anger, rage, and isolation that comes from being slaved by drug abuse.
Please let me know what you think, I will take your suggestions and apply them to my working design.
thanks-

Album Cover Final Version

Hello fellow bloggers, after many hours of hard work I've developed an Album cover that I am satisfied with. I took into consideration the comments posted and decided to change the text by creating a simple logo using the name of my band. The logo was created in Illustrator, however, most of my work was done in photoshop. What inspired me most while doing this particular project was scanning in multiple items that i then brought in to photoshop to create the different textures and patterns.
I really hope you enjoy this composition...

Album Cover_V2 working progress

Hello fellow bloggers! here is a version 2 of my self portrait project. Considering the comments posted I've decide to make a few changes to the type along with some of the visual layers. I tried to tie the tittle of the album  to the composition. Hope you like it!

Self Portrait_ Update

I spent a lot of time debating between an album cover or a poster sheet, but after hours of working and creating a few rough versions i found my self to be more comfortable working with the album cover template. This first version has an image of myself along with several layers that include a few scanned images that add rich texture to the composition. My scans include; a piece of fabric, crumbled paper and a smooth piece of perforated mesh. I chose a dark tone palette of colors that range from black to gray, dark brown and red. My theme for this album cover is classic rock music, and therefore decided to give it a neutral tone with very few colors.
