my new mag . . . in Latin :P

this was actually pretty fun . . .
I mimicked the format of a mag Angelique let me borrow :P

interior

I had a really hard time getting the perspectives right on this one .. .

my name - redo

I downloaded a few brushes for this one :P

my city and livetrace

Unfortunately, I couldn't get this livetrace image in there, so I had to opt for the B&W one I used in class . . . everything else was alright though.

what's in a name? lots of colors :P

I don't have a mac, so I couldn't get those suddenly brushes. I thought I'd saved it onto my jump drive, but apparently not . . . . so I tried to create my own :P

Illustrated text

Here's my purely illustration design. Instead of using my hometown, I used an artist's project name. I wish I'd used different text, but for some reason I couldn't find that helvetica text on my illustrator, and it didn't have a way of previewing it so it started out looking ok, then looked really childish after I bevelled it. I should've changed it right then rather than adding to it, cuz now I can't change it! >.<

last one!

next to last design

another illustrator design

I guess I really like that floral stem, it really reminds me of wings for some reason.

strictly illustrator

simple design strictly using illustrator. I'm still getting used to this thing . . . at least I finally found out how to make backgrounds!

last photoshop with illustrator design

I didn't really like the last one I posted so I thought I'd do a different one

5th photoshop + illustrator design

this was actually really difficult, even though it probably looks simple. Just some things I distorted in illustrator took a very long time to render and it kept shutting down etc. . ..

edited versions . . .

I changed these 2 up some, hope it looks better

2 more photoshop + illustrator designs

new illustrator + photoshop design

last . . .

getting used to the gradient. I guess you can't work with the background? I tried to distort the images (like the blocks) but it didn't let me this time.

9th

more exploration in distortion, colors, and brush

8th . . .

playing with more symbols - grime, and getting more used to using colors and the brush tool

7th design

messing around with distortions mostly
