Product Shot

Here is a Product Shot I took and edited for my final project in DMA204 - Digital Photography with Michael Curran. This is my SoundCraft Mixer and I just added a quick background swap and shadow effect done within Photoshop, Nothing Fancy.

I added the original photo to allow comparing. I really like the work I did on this photo. I would like to thank Rob Tomas (Ligament) for allowing me to use his SLR Camera.

Enjoy!

Le Freak Show is here!

The Freak Show is here! No not really, but here is a 6 frame by frame design for a final project for my DMA234 course - Computer Imaging with Andrew Tedford.

Enjoy!



"You have been ask to create a banner series that will showcase limited edition skateboard designs created by artists. The defined style art direction has its roots in classic/ current Freak-Show poster and ticket design, some elements of rockabilly and psychobilly
punk music could also apply. You must also account for addition design influences from the underlying skateboard design concept the artist used. The final art style you design for the banner engagement will also define your art direction of a mini-brochure interactive site in phase two of this major project."

Above is a quick overview of what this project is about and the reason for the Freakshow look.

Eros Micrsosite

Here is another Webdesign project that Mike Gittans and I worked together on designing for Eros. Just some quick information from the project to give an overall view.

- Their major competition is Starbucks, Symposium Cafe and Second Cup, while their secondary competition is Tim Hortons, Second Cup, Coffee Time and Timothy’s.

- They want to connect primarily with the 18-34 year old crowd.

- The shops are designed around a garden environment with lots of plants and flowers as well as busts of Roman and Greek figures in their shops.

- They focus on organic, healthy and natural foods.

- A major seller is their custom tea blends, which have a very elaborate setup including very stylish float tea cups, different sugars and various types of honey and rose petals - they want a focus on this.

- They offer Wi-Fi, terminals that have access to the Internet access and they subscribe to various magazine and newspaper publications.

- The company’s branding and logo are incomplete, so they are open to colour options and would be happy to entertain a new logo.

- They want “simplicity accented with powerful and passionate imagery."

Robot Art

Here is a robot that I painted using Photoshop. This exersise was done using a Tablet which I had no prior experience with before attempting the painting. I found it really challenging to get used to the sensitivity and feeling of the Tablet, so I switched to my mouse to compare the differences. I of course liked using my mouse considering I've been using it for 10 years. I will add Tablets to my list of "things to learn".

I also attached a photo of the picture I got my colours from. Thank you Home Depot, I salute you.

Enjoy!
