Propaganda Poster


I do a lot of video work and animations. However, to complete such projects I must always RENDER. I truly despise rendering, a small clip may take an hour to render at times. If I were to count up all the hours i've spent waiting for a render, it would be overwhelming. So, I decided to create a poster that puts a stop to this. Send a message to destroy the rendering process forever! (which will probably never happen, but I can dream!)

Explosion of Crazy

For this piece I wanted to create something that is over the top, abstract. I started with the letter G and used blending options, different fonts, and colors to create something out of the ordinary. I feel like I might have used too many colors and lines that could give someone a headache. However, I feel it came out very unique and was fun to create. 

This piece might be my favorite out of the 3. It started with the letter A and transformed edges and corners. I love how simple it is but also mentally stimulating. It really exercises the imagination by finding different ways to look at it. 

This piece is probably the most bubbly one. I started with the letter K and saw some sort of dog in it. So I transformed it a little to give the shape of a dog's head and define its body. Then I thought of the number 9 to make it sound out "canine". I shaped the number to create floppy ears and a tongue sticking out. The piece was the silliest but fun to make.

Photo Montage


When I found out that the main purpose of this project is to express time, I suddenly thought of the sun. The sun is the most basic illustration of time, it is the basics in which we all react to during the day. So, I climbed to the top of A Mountain and stayed there until sunset. From the left, the sun is bright and shining throughout the city. As your eyes move towards the right, the sun starts to set and the city begins to grow darker. I wanted to give the entire image a vintage look because I felt it really gave a timely feeling to the project. The concept of this project was very intriguing and I never would have thought of creating such an image. 

Extra Credit


This project was a great learning experience for me. It was my very first attempt at creating an illustration. The idea behind it was to create a book that exemplifies hope and purpose. I wanted the child to look up as if he is searching for something, an inspiration. Which is why I put the text on top of the child. Overall it was really fun, and it's an "ok" attempt at illustrating something.
