Pencils & Popcorn

             
This assignment asked us to watch a movie with the sound down and look at the graphic aspect of the film. I chose to watch Casablanca. The assignment was to watch the movie, plot the story and characters, then storyboard what we thought was the strongest scene. Then, find the weakest scene and redraw it to make it better/stronger.

CD Cover

 
For the this assignment we were asked to choose one of several scenarios asking us to create a cover for a release/re-released cd with contemporary musicians interpreting classical composers. I chose to make a cd cover for Lang Lang the famous pianist interpreting Mozart's late sonatas. We were required to create a portrait of the artist or composer or both and incorporate it into the cd cover design. I chose to do both. I drew inspiration from artists such as Al Hirschfield and Pablo Lobato. I wanted to create a simplistic and graphic design that would capture the attention of younger audiences. The portraits were initially drawn by hand then scanned and redrawn on Adobe Photoshop. Design was done on Photoshop.

Graphic Novel

For this assignment we were tasked with creating a story in the form of a graphic novel I chose to base the story on famous histographic icon Marie Antoinette. Also included are some digital drawings I did when planning the story out.

Gold and Purple

This is a painting I did solely for fun. I used gouache and watercolours. The idea was inspired by Hindu art as well as the vibrant saris I saw when taking a trip through Little India near where I live.

Billboard Design

For this project it was required that we created a bilboard based on one of a list of causes/topics. I chose environmental awareness. The result is a humorous take on the laziness and reluctance we sometimes have to taking the effort to recycle. All photography was taken by me.

Sketchbook Tutorial - Linear Perspective

In this assignment we were asked to create a still life, pick and object from the still life and draw it in linear perspective. I chose to draw a perfume bottle. The horizon line is in red, the parallel lines or "orthagonal" lines are in light blue, and the "gift box" around the chosen object is in dark blue.

Main Assignment 1 - Character/Ad/Storyboard

This is the ad I created for an assignment in which students were asked to create a unique character for a brand and then create an ad and a storyboard for a 30 second spot involving the mascot/character.

My brand was called Dazzledent, it was a brand of toothpaste. The character I created is called Tooth Fairy, based off of the tooth fairy.
