DD08 Poster Design

This is the design I came up with for the Class poster. Unfortunately, this was the day of class I missed, and not everyone is represented in the photo.. but I couldn't help but use it, it had a great feeling to it. The graphic in the lefthand corner is an "8" that would be the logo for DD08. Overall, I'm happy with how the poster turned out, but had wanted to revisit the use of some of the textures we experimented with in previous classes.

Class Promotional Poster

Here's my design for the poster and logo.





Many of the elements just came together for me and I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.

Class poster

I had a hard time to come up with a concept for this assignment, and finally... I didn't get one. So this is my experimentation of using the images that we have and appreciation for our class rep, Leah!!

Photographs - Analog

I took this picture of my friend sitting in my car. I was adjusting and changing the settings in my camera mostly the shutter and exposure and came up with this picture. It is an interesting shot as you can see a lot of light in different ways, almost looking like smoke or clouds.

This picture was taken at the Wendy's parking lot. I was sitting in my car and for a second had glimpsed over to my side view mirror and thought it would be an interesting picture to take.

This picture I took of downtown at night from across at Spanish Banks beach. I set the shutter slower to accept more light but my hand was not steady and this is what developed. The long colorful light streaks are very neat.

This is a picture taken of the side of my car. I tried to capture the reflection of the paint. Its hard to see from this small picture but up close the texture of the body gives the reflection almost an oil painting look.

This is another photograph i took of my car. I was trying to capture the reflection off of the body again and was able to capture my other car parked next to it along with other scenery. Looking at this picture it almost looks like the reflection is a mural on the side of my car.

Light is all.

Same angle, completely different lighting shot from my apartment. The morning shot had an amazing light spread, probably because of the light mist that surrounded the buildings.

I love night shots. I wish I had a camera with the lens stabilizer. It's really hard not to move for a few seconds and sometimes there just isn't anything to put the camera on.



Here's one last shot I took in gas town. The sun was shining right on somekind of aluminium wall and you can see the motion of the tool that polished it.

Tomasz Baginski

Tomasz Baginski is a Polish 3D digital design artist that inspires me. His short movies are timeless. The first movie he produced "Cathedral" was entirely created by himself on one computer and a insane amount of work time / rendering time.

"Cathedral" got an Oscar nomination in 2002 for best short-movie. Unfortunately the Oscar was snatched by Pixar's short.

His second movie called "Fallen art" won several awards including the BAFTA awards and the Golden Horse Film Festival.

1 computer, 1 man and a brilliant concept can got an Oscar nomination - that's amazing. Personally, I think he is one of the best independent digital design artists.

Enjoy the show:

Robot's Fossil

Man I need to get a new camera, I have to pray and sweet talk the camera so i can get a non-blurry picture, also the lighting is pretty ugly. Anyways I was trying different things with the same concept and in the end it turn out to be a robot. Inspired by Pes (which I will be talking about today at babak's) and Jan Svankmajer surrealist animator from Czech Republic.

Experimental Technique

Over the past week I had been trying to come up with ideas for this assignment. Ultimately, a lot of the ideas I had initially thought up involved purchasing different types of supplies. I decided to hunt through my own house, and find some interesting things to experiment with. What I came up with was fairly simple, but I think the result is quite interesting.





















































































The first 3 photos were done with dish soap poured over top of a glass bowl. The camera I used was a very low quality digital camera, but managed to capture some interesting compositions, and organic shapes. The flash of the camera overexposed the images giving it a really blown out look. I could even see using these textures as backgrounds for some projects in the future.













The last 3 photos are candle wax that was poured onto a piece of paper. I tried to choose some different colored candles that I had. I really enjoyed pushing myself to work outside of the computer. I'm hoping to continue to practice finding different techniques that I can break outside of the box (computer).

Playing with Spray Paint

I decided to try making a stencil and spray painting it onto cardboard. Grabbing cardboard from the basement area, I wrote out "Defy Gravity" and proceeded to cut it out.




Then, I practiced with the spray can and gave it a whirl. All in all, I think it came out fairly well as a stencil, although the lines aren't as clean as they could be.





In addition, the negative image created looked pretty cool. I really liked how the color spread around the letters. In some ways, it is even better than the positive version!




After the first one, I did a couple more, playing with different weights and angles. Here is everything together.




After doing the stencil, I played with spraying paint onto a blank cardboard to see how it would look. The spray can was acting a bit funny, and I ended up with these fun spots.



Here's another macro shot of a different area.



This one is probably my favorite. The lighting was entirely accidental, but I think it adds a lot to the mood of the image.



All in all, it was a great experiment and learning tool! I had a good deal of fun making it and will likely be doing more such things in the future.

My Analogue Technique

Briefly, I saw this moment (clouds are looking like smoke and they are behind the clock tower) when I was walking on the street. I rotated my camera to add motion. Anddd.... Here's my analogue technique.... Interesting framing and interesting moments... :D

Analogue technique with a camera

I went up to a restaurant in the Harbour Center on Hastings x Seymour and took tons of pictures using this simple technique: long shutter speed. I also shook my hands intentionally so that I could get such abstract images of lights.
