Whew! It's Over!

I got my drawing portfolio back from the semester. Here are a few things I found:

Ice Cream

On the Contrary...

My Painting final. A handmade book complete with sewed pages around the edges. It revolves around two opposite perceptions on life. I centered it around my little brother, and how he was so intrigued by the simplicity in life, how he was so fascinated by the little things. In doing so tried to illustrate an innocent playfulness that he looked at the world with. On the contrary, I tried to convey the opposite that we surround ourselves with: a more literal, complicated, serious outlook on life. Perhaps there is something we can learn by looking at the world through a four-year-olds eyes.

To Thailand

A cover for a letter I sent to my dear friend Abby, who's on study abroad in Thailand.

Umbrella ella ella

Just another little journal page thingie.

For: Miss Becky

A giant-sized birthday card for my little sister last March.

Hello, My Name is Paper Doll

For my Media II class last semester. The assignment was to make an electronic book, but also to present it in some form. I chose to do an accordian book, when the ribbon is untied, the box pops open to reveal the accordian pages.

My dear friend Vu also featured this on his site last February-ish. You can read more about the conceptual part
here , and check out Vu's sweet site! Thanks Vu!

Whoa! Dingbats

4.


For Graphic Design class. The assignment was to create compositions exploring a few design principles:
1. Balance 2. Texture or Pattern 3. Rhythm 4. Tension

We had to pick a conceptual word to create a visual theme/concept in all the compositions-I chose "fantastical", in order to interrelate form, concept, and composition.

Tapes n' Tapes

Another poster for the art sale. Again, next year I guess.

New York

A bit of an experimentation with type. For the art sale. But I'm lazy and never had it shrink-wrapped. Next year fo' sho'.

Diamonds on My Mind

Rubies and diamonds? Yes plzzz!

Will you be my Valentine?

A card for Valentines Day last year.

More Journal Pages

Facelift, anyone?

Journal Page

Journals aren't just for writing in, right?

UFO Poster

For Graphic Design class. I ended up changing my idea for this one, hence-it's only "Phase I".

Notan? Notan!

A notan I did last year to make our living room wall a little more fancy schmancy.

Handmade Stamp Project

I made the stamp. Then made everything colorful. Basically.

Happy Birthday Adina

Today is the 26th. I guess that means it's my birthday. My present to myself: this shiny new blog, of course! A place to put all the stuff I've been workin' on.

This is a birthday card my little brother made for me last year, with a little help from his dad. Not too shabby for a 4 year old.
