Stalling...

When I showed Andrew my design concept he pointed out that it looks a lot like a Scooby-Doo/Ninja Turtles type of art concept. I was pleased to hear this since the 4-year-old me wanted to be a Ninja Turtle (Michaelangelo) when I grew up and I watched Scooby Doo every night when I was younger. So I guess without me really being conscious of it... Scooby Doo and Ninja Turtles have influenced my art... This is my ode to them...

Deck Design and Style Guide

So... This is the moment you have all been waiting for... or not...
The deck design is done! I have already put it on my skate deck and submitted it for grading.
It came out so great minus a few ear bubbles and not-so-smoothe cutting around the edges.
All in all im happy with my design and its a great final product. Enjoy this peep at the design in high-res until I can get the design process pics posted up!

Here are two element concepts I plan to have included in my deck graphic design:

Hope you like what you see so far!

Skate Deck Concept Development and Mind Map

For my final assignment in Andrew's class I have to make my own skate deck design. This is something I've wanted to do ever since I started skateboarding when I was about 12 years old. Super stoked about this assignment. I've been doing some research and development for my skate deck. Check out what I've got.

ADS! ADS! ADS!

Our task was to make 6 banners for these corporations: Burger King, Baskin Robbins, Pizza Pizza, Dominos Pizza, Staples and Wal-Mart. Here are my banner ads. Make sure to comment and tell me what you think!

Audi Mock-up Web Templates

Today, in class we finished our web design introduction.
Here are 2 different concepts we created for a mock up Audi R8 web template.
Some of the text information is true some of it is made up and most of it is inconsistent.
Does the R8 have 5.2 FSI or a 4.s FSI Quattro engine? I dunno...
Concept 1/Concept 2 Check em out:

(P.S. I've been doing web templates and interfaces since 2003 but after a long break from it I really enjoyed doing something I am so very familiar with. Hope you like 'em)

3D Assignment from an Alcoholics Perspective

Hi guys!

Back again with more work! I really liked my latest assignment! Speaking of things I'm fond of, I think the world should know that I really love drawing, graphic design, almost anything that's blue, my mother, etc. I truly do. The only thing I love more is probably beer. Wait, scratch that I love my mother more (sometimes, she buys me beer) Love you mom! None the less I love beer. I got belly to prove it.

So with my utter infatuation I decided I was going to do my latest assignment with beer as my subject of focus.

I had to create 3 scenes with Adobe Illustrator using 3D shapes. All kinds of stuff, extruded shapes, revolved shapes, symbols, shapes with mapped faces. All the fun stuff. So here are the results...

First, My Budweiser Ad/Scene:

My Second, the Coors Light Ad/Scene:

And, my homeland beer, Trinidad's own Carib:
