Logo Assignment

This is the finished inked image of my logo for my photography business. I came to this design after over 50 different sketches. I think it is simplistic and elegant and accomplishes what I want my business to convey.

My Third Portrait Photography Assignment

For my third Portrait Photography assignment we had to create an image using the new LED studio lights that we got. We had to experiment with different angles of the light, and how it effected the shape of the face.

Realistic/Symbol Assignment

For our second project in Intro to Graphic Design and Illustration we created a realistic pencil sketch of a three-dimensional object and then from that created an inked logo of the same object.

This project was challenging for me because I have never taken a drawing class, but I feel that I learned a lot about drawing and about myself, creating this artwork. Overall, I am very happy with the way it turned out.

My Second Portrait Photography Assignment

For my second portrait photography assignment we had to create an image using indoor north window light. I photographed my beautiful grandma quilting in a room in her house.

Vertigo Designs by April Greiman

This is what I based my artwork off of. 

They are identity, business cards, hang tags, and postcards 
for a business in California called Vertigo.

Digital Re-Creation of April Greiman's Artwork

For our first project in intro to Graphic Design and Illustration we had to research and recreate the artwork of a famous graphic designer. I chose April Greiman, mainly because she was one of the first people to design on the computer and really opened a lot of designers' eyes to the vast potential of the digital world.

My artwork is based off of her line of business cards and cards for the company Vertigo. Instead of using the name Vertigo I used Greiman's name and surrounded it with geometric shapes and characteristics about her.

My First Portrait Photography Assignment

This semester I am taking Portrait Photography with Professor Hurst. 

For our first assignment we had to take an outdoor portrait. 

I took pictures of a fellow classmate Amber Closterman. 

The shoot was a blast and we got a lot of great pictures out of it. 

This is one of my favorites.
