Downtown Excursion

I took a trip downtown to take pictures of the beautiful old Victorian houses. I love the fine detail that went into each house. No two houses are alike. I feel the same way about photographs. Each picture has a certain personality and style that makes it unique. I edited these pictures to look old fashioned and aged.

Jack & Jill

This was the final project in my Fundamentals of Design class. In this project we were provided the only images we were allowed to use and from that we were to illustrate the well-known nursery rhyme "Jack & Jill" using those images and font. The goal was to incorporate the rhyme itself into the picture and make the words play important roles in the image. I loved playing with the font and I tried to create a flow of rhythm by using repetition in fonts and colors on specific rhyming words.



 

Cubes

This was the first project in my Fundamentals of Design class. The goal of the project, using the Adobe software Illustrator, was to define the words given to us in a design consisting of only cubes. We had to make a black and white, grayscale, and color schemed version of each word. I tried to keep my designs simple so as not to confuse any two compositions.
