Depth of Field Assignment

Hey guys! More fun photography stuff! I am really happy with this assignment since I really like Depth of Field still life shots. Here I chose a subject for my shot that I thought could bring some Holiday Cheer! Yay! (being sarcastic) I actually just wanted to work in the dark with bright lights. So here are my shots:

Better Late Than Never

Hey guys,
We had an assignment some few weeks back and we were asked to create an art gallery for a mock client called "BONEFISH Designer Gallery" where we would display our deck designs from first semester. We had to include an artist BIO and show our deck design in the page. This assignment was cool because it was one of the first where we had to gather assets, take photos, and design a concept in Photoshop for the site. I liked it.
Check out my concept:

Album Art Assignment

In my Typography class at Seneca College I had an assignment where I had to design album art concepts for an artist/band. I was totally unsure who I should choose but the answer became evident after driving to school and listening to the radio. His songs are in heavy rotation all over the airwaves in North America. I went to Florida last April and he was a huge deal down there in the music scene. I went to Vegas in August and everyone sings every lyric to his verses in the clubs when his songs come on. This guy is the Canadian rap artist that is changing hip-hop and making Toronto a name in the industry. DRAKE (Aubrey Graham). So here they are, I hope they can visually compliment his great music.

Shoe Ad

In my photography class we had to make a shoe ad with our own photography and Photoshop skills. Here is mine with my pair of Jordan Flight 45s.

Web Design Mock-ups

In Web Design class Joe has taught us some of the techniques and guides for designing a business/professional web layout. So we have been assigned the task of making our own client mock-ups. The part I like best is that we got to choose ANY 5 websites in the world wide web and redesign any 2 from our choices. So I randomly chose the John Deere Gator Utility Vehicle Website and a site for a prospective client starting a clothing company called Sexymbol Clothing. Check them out:

Blackberry Mockups

In our Web Design class Joe has been teaching us a lot and as someone who messed around with web design and photoshop for quite a while I have actually learned a lot from the class. Joe really knows his shit and gives a lot of good tips and advice. Here is a design we did together in class:

and here is a darker version that we had to make for a secondary client option:

The Golden Ratio

Many people are familiar with the Golden Ratio. It is a term used commonly in art, architecture and just about any area of design. The ratio represents the most aesthetically pleasing difference in length and height. For the purpose of demonstrating the aspects of the Golden Ratio we were asked to make an animation board with Flash in our Media Production class. Here is a look at the final animation I produced.

Samsung Photo Retouch

My Photoshop class works very closely with my Flash class. They are both taught by Andrew Tedford and he has created a few Flash assignments that will use assets we produce with our Photoshop class. Here are some phone photos that we had to clean up and retouch so that we can use them to make an interactive 360 degree viewing animation for the Samsung M 510. Here are small versions of the retouched photos:

CR8IV.CA Website Mock-Up Design & Development

Hey all!
Here's something a little fun and exciting! I made a mock-up website for my WebDesign coding class. Dan has taught us a lot about html, CSS, and now we have even added some java applets to the mix. Here's a site that I designed, sliced, and coded. I have roll-overs, drop down menus and a java slide show. I'm pumped. I can't wait to get some free time to design my own portfolio site now that I am armed with the skills to do it!

The client we are making these templates for is a company called Cr8iv:
