Roller Derby

For my first concept idea I was going to make a logo for a rollar derby team. It wasn't long until I moved on to a better idea so I didn't put much thought or research into this concept. I have a sketch of a skate I was sketching while pondering on this idea.

Mcnamara/Troy Advertisement

I've been watching a lot of nip/tuck lately, which is about two plastic surgeons that grew their own business together called Mcnamara/Troy. They didn't have any advertising for their business and were loosing potential patients to another surgeon in town who did have advertizement so I came to the idea of creating a competing ad for the mcnamara/troy business. I drew a couple sketches, but didn't get much into it so decided to keep thinking of different concept ideas.

Notes

For my final project I painted an advertisement to get people in the mood to prepare for a zombie apocalypse by painting a zombie version of Uncle Sam with the words "I want you for the zombie apocalypse!" printed in red underneath. I have emphasized line and color. I have emphasized line with psychic line, a bold contour line and gesture lines and color by mainly using a tetrad colot scheme consisting of red, green, blue and orange. I was mainly inspired by the Walking Dead and noticing how the idea of a zombie apocalypse has lately been very popular throughout media and it seems to be a good concept that attracts everyone lately.

Designer's Statement

If you knew me as I grew up, you would know that I was always doodling and sketching in my sketchbook. The main thing I remember about taking art classes throughout middle school and highschool is that I was never part of the class, I was always in the back because my teachers were letting me create my own art classes. I'm in love with creating art and unlike math and science, I am happy with putting time and effort into my creations and have fun while doing it, that's why I am a designer.

Pattern and Texture

Pattern and Texture

Pattern is a repeated design, it can imply a texture, but texture itself is associated with the sense of touch. Texture is the feel of the surface.
