Back Once Again... It's The Incredible

Im back on the blog! and I've returned with Flash!

No... Not that Flash...
Adobe Flash... and ActionScript

For our first assignment in ActionScript class with Andrew Tedford we messed around with some HypeFramework code and some original brainstorm ideas to make some funky art assets with Flash.

The idea here was to develop some cool background assets or art pieces using code and butterflies! Yep... Butterflies. I just yelled out butterflies in class and Andrew decided to go with that as our item of inspiration. Check out what I got....

This is using the variableVibration code... with my own original butterfly icon




Here is another render with my own color inputs. Pretty funky and bright. I like it.

Android App: Dinema

This is the final product for my Dinema Android app. The app that lets you plan your social outtings with the people you want to spend time with. Want to grab a bite? Maybe catch a movie? How bout both! Well all you need is Dinema and you can find restaurants, make reservations, find theatres, check showtimes, buy tickets and coordinate plans with your friends. All from one app! Here is the design mock up:

Mock Up Mobile (iPhone) Websites

In our web design class we had to design iPhone ported mockup sites for the full web mockups we previously made. We had a choice to either adapt our websites into iPhone Apps or iPhone Mobile Websites. I chose to make two iPhone Mobile Websites. Here they are...

Mockup Time! ... Again

So guys, you may be aware it's crunch time and all the final assignments are due in less that 24 hrs so everyone in DMA is pretty much getting whiplash from blog updates. I don't even know if that makes sense but I'm a little bit sleep deprived so forgive me. Here is a website mockup we had to do for Joe's webdesign class. I am pretty happy with it. I worked with Terry on this as we had to work in pairs. He had some great ideas and innovative design concepts. We had strict guidelines and restrictions to follow for this one so lots of planning and tweaking went into it. On a side note, Terry's moving on to do Business studies so he won't be back next semester for DMA. He's got good ideas and lots of passion so I'm sure he will do well in that field. A big thanks goes out to him for helping out in the assignments we worked on and for being a cool dude to crack jokes with in the back of class. So after you check out the mockup, check out his blog and his work from DMA: TERRY'S BLOG.

Android App Development

In our Photoshop Graphics class we have been asked to plan and design an app for the Android phone platform. The app concept was given to us and we just needed to design the interface, widget, and logo while doing our best to stick to Android design standards.

The purpose of the app:
An application that serves as a portal for movie reviews, showtimes, locations of theatres and allows users to buy tickets. As well the app must allow users to search for resteraunts near by, read reviews, check menus and book seating reservations.

Here are some concepts for logos, and sketches I have made for my design:

Walk The Line Banners

We were asked to duplicate and resize banners for the movie "Walk the Line" in our Flash class with Andrew Tedford... Here is some of the work I did along with the help of my fellow classmates. Thanks go out to Terry, Diana, Gerard, and Andreas from DMA.

Nissan Trucks Flash Concept Site

In this Flash assignment we had to take a still ad and create an interactive flash concept site using the same assets. Then we were asked to find assets for 2 other vehicles (pictures, logos, etc) and integrate them into the flash site. Though the content for all 3 vehicles are the same you get the idea from this concept flash site. I chose to add some sound fx and buttons that open blurbs on the image. Check it out and mess around by clicking on the buttons and Nissan logo.

PS. I am not affiliated with Nissan and this project is just for education purposes. Enjoy!

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.
