Project | Magazine Cover

Magazine Cover

For my final magazine cover I gained motivation from my own photos. I decided to name it "Brooklyn Times" because I personally am from Brooklyn, New York. I wanted it to be cool and a bit silly. The background image for the cover is one of my photos as well. I decided to make that the background image because I am in love with that photo and those just to happen to be my favorite sneakers of all time. Hopefully this becomes an actual magazine in the near future.

Assignment | Self Insertion

Final Piece 

For my self insertion assignment I to portray a sort of "life is good" type of vibe. Which is why I decided to go with the nice Aventador car. I went back and forth with different ways of positioning myself within the photo. Finally, with the help of my classmates and Professor Corrigan I was able to come up with this piece.

Project | Vector Illustration

Bob Marley
For my vector illustration I decided to recreate a Bob Marley photo. I decided to do this because my classmate Alexandria said that it was a cool photo and that it would be cool if I used to for my project. Since I already had a passion for Marley, I decided that I will use it for my vector illustration.   I had many difficulties in finding colors and patterns for the dreads. Overall I am very happy with the outcome.

Assignment | Exquisite Corpse

Don C
For my exquisite corpse I wanted to create something very unique and symbolic in a way. While creating this corpse, I constantly struggled with body structure. I couldn't find what type of body I actually wanted to use. I didn't want to have a crazy background, where it would take the attention away from the corpse. Instead, I went with a more smoother, subtle background. I personally like dressing enjoy wearing business apparel, which is why I gave my corpse a tie. I also want to be a CEO on day for my company, that's why I decided to give "Don C" a crown. A crown to me, symbolizes high status/achievement, which is something a CEO should have. I named him "Don C" because,  to me fits his image. The "C" in his name stands for "corpse."
