Flash Page

2011-03-17T23:58:00.001-05:00

Now that i've been working with flash, I think I might want to make myself my own portfolio flash site. I like this kind of layout. http://www.trailsnapper.com/

I don't know if I'll ever have time!

wordmarks/logos

If your looking for word marks, this website is good to visit for inspiration.

Word Marks

2011-02-18T00:08:00.003-06:00

This is just an idea that was floating around in my head. Digital font for the word digital, and a drawn M with script font to show the design side of media. I was thinking of doing either this, or some sort of pixilated font and a brush drawn media.

This Intro for Element Energy drink is pretty cool.

Faces!

Here is a weird/fun little Flash site to play with. I happened upon it while doing a Google search for Flash Websites. It is listed as one of the best in 2010. You can see it right.... about...... Here!

Tick Tock

2011-01-25T21:36:00.002-06:00

I was searching the web for some ideas for my jeep ad, and I found this interesting idea from Toyota. Basically, the car is being pushed by this white that ends up taking over the gray background. Then, a clock appears and every five seconds a new Toyota is formed on the page. I think I like it! Too bad its already taken. You can watch here

2009 Valentine's Day Ad

2011-01-20T21:42:00.004-06:00

As I was searching for award winning animation and motion design, I ran across this ad by Cellular One. Since Valentine's day is approaching, I figured I'd share. This is a guitar hero like interactive ad you can serenade that special someone with. You can see the actual ad here http://www.interactivehrp.com/awards/uscellular/vday_2009/index.html

Hulk

2010-07-23T22:24:00.003-05:00

I couldn't think of anything to draw this week. My daughter got a hulk toy in her happy meal and it was sitting in front of me. So, here he is!

Running Tub?

2010-07-20T11:38:00.003-05:00

Nothing relaxes me more than a nice hot bubble bath. After the week I've had, I think I'm in need of one. After I sketched this, I realized that the legs were not the same size and the tub is tilted. Kind of looks like my bath is running away from me!

Random

2010-07-17T12:42:00.002-05:00

I drew this a couple of days ago. Whatever came to my mind, I drew it. I have no idea what it all means, but its a preview of my thoughts.

On another note.... (this is me venting)

Updating my blog and doing the homework assignment even though its late and won't count. I'm not one to listen to excuses myself, but sometimes life happens. My laptop was finally fixed on Thursday but the storm knocked out my internet!!!! I've been going out of my way to use friends computers. I even went to Mcdonalds and sat in their parking lot and I couldn't access angel! I have been having so much trouble with the internet and my computer its not even funny. I just can't win this semester! So, here it is Saturday afternoon, about one o' clock, and I finally have internet. Now, on with my day.

I was watching Reservior Dogs tonight for my Intro to Film class. While watching, I sketched all kinds of different objects that caught my eye. There was a scene from a club, and I don't think a disco ball was actually in the scene but it popped into my head so I sketched it. Its a little messy, but you get the idea :)

My husky Pollo

2010-07-09T23:51:00.002-05:00

This is my husky Pollo. I drew him this week because he is in the dog house. He ended up breaking my computer today. I have no more laptop for school. This is pretty frustrating for me right now. He's so cute though, can't be too mad at him. He didn't know he was breaking it. He ended up tripping over the power cord and the laptop hit the floor, jarred my hard drive. Maybe, it was my fault. Now I'm at my best friends house at 11:54 at night trying to post my homework in time!

4th of July

2010-07-06T20:29:00.003-05:00

I chose to draw this sketch because of my weekend. We went to see fireworks for the 4th of July, which is pictured behind the camera (in case you were wondering). I didn't take pictures of the fireworks, but I did take pictures all weekend of family and nature. I took a digital photography during the spring semester and learned basic photography techniques. I'm not sure how much of the information sunk in, but I still try to get out and take pictures whenever possible.

Reading about lines this week made me want to randomly throw some on paper. This is the outcome of that.

Music

2010-06-26T00:18:00.002-05:00

I love listening to music.

Butterfly

2010-06-22T19:07:00.002-05:00

Just a random sketch of a butterfly that I liked.

St. Louis Trip

2010-06-18T18:40:00.003-05:00

This week my daughter and I took a trip to St. Louis to visit a friend of mine. On the way there, just around Effingham, il, a big storm hit. The sky looked angry. It was black, and you could see the rain gushing from the clouds. As we approached the storm I braced myself. It was raining so hard you couldn't see the road in front of you. There were cars pulled over to the side. There was a semi truck in front of me. I could barely see his lights between the swipe of the wiper blades. The rain was blowing side ways. I kept my eyes on that semi's lights, and we inched down the interstate and out of the storm. I'm sure it only lasted maybe five minutes, but it felt like eternity. I was never so happy to get out of that storm! My daughter slept through the whole thing. When we got to St. Louis there were clear skies. It was hot and sunny as pictured in my sketch above.
