Toying with layers, shapes, and conflicting font types to create a cohesive piece. Go Gators.

My first project in CS5! This is a culmination of my procrastination towards my design assignments, watching LOST (my new addiction) and an overall lackluster July 4. Sooner or later I’ll put up the actual projects I did in Design 1, Photo 1, etc. Have a great Independence Day everyone!

My first book sleeve design in Fall 2009’s Typography studio – seen below.

‘Ello everyone,
The name’s Blake, pleasure to meet & work with you. Having the summer blues of cashiering & beach failed to inspire new ideas and concepts, so I’ve spent my summer reworking old pieces, branching out from where those have evolved. The piece I am sharing is a sleeve for a thriller/dark humor novel. Originally a sequel to a previously designed book sleeve, the stylistic differences have persuaded me to portray this piece independently. I aim to design two other sleeves complimentary to this and have a trilogy display. Feedback loved.

Love, love, love.

Alright, here’s another self-study/self-portrait I finished a couple of months ago. Not really trying anything with it, just messing around and looking at different tutorials to better acclimate myself to Photoshop. I’ll be putting up some 35mm photos along with the portfolio I made for my final in Photo 1. Might take me a bit so don’t hold it against me.

-Someone said I looked like the guy from Incubus in this one. Not sure if that’s good or bad?

Who doesn’t? Bass, drumbs, synth, and lyrics about human emotion. Or booty bouncing.

Either way, creative people agree:

Hey everyone! I’m excited about the new site and hopefully we’ll get a good group of viewers. I’m a bit ashamed, I’m actually drawing a blank on what else I should say. Awesome first post, eh? Well, regardless, here’s a vector portrait I made about a month ago. I started my first official Design class about a week ago, so bear with me.
