soo recently, I finally finished designing for FPS’ Film Festival poster! :D
The theme was supposed to reflect a classy, fun event showcasing college students’ film works (both live & animated). At the event actual golden shorts will be awarded to those with the best short films (as well as other categories). I thought that was pretty clever and hilarious.
Also, who knew, that creating a jagged ‘torn edge’ of a ticket would take forever!?
Lesson learned and reminded by a friend: designing is like any other art form that takes a very long time. It will only get faster through practice & time/trial & error.
I am definitely still learning the shortcuts + more effective ways to design in Illustrator.
If you’ve ever had work, I’d like if you could share a story/experience from your current/last job.
I’m hoping to gather 50 anonymous stories to put in 100+ tipshare envelopes that I received in my past job at Applebees.
Each envelope represents a day of my time, energy, and effort spent in make some extra money. With other people’s stories, I hope to fill these envelopes with our shared experiences. An audio recording of people reading other people’s work stories will also be included in the final piece.
Through this project, I’m hoping people will find themselves relating to others moreso than thought.
This project is due on May 17, but I’d like to collect stories asap so I can start recording.
My web portfolio so far from my Intro. to Digital Media class!
Relearning coding + website building can be quite confusing & frustrating…but when the live site finally starts working with what you want it to do, it’s a kickass feeling.
Our oceans are transpiring due to our plastics, trash, and other human waste. I created the dress to symbolize Mother Ocean being once beautiful but gradually becoming dragged down by our pollutants.
Our class was required to keep a blog of our installation project. I learned a lot from keeping documentation and simply creating the dress & mannequin(s). There was a lot of trial and error experimentation, but it taught me a lot about how sculpture is all about an ever evolving process.
As much as I stressed over this project, I still had a lot of fun planning & creating it. If I had the time, I’d love to have done more to the dress. But, like many projects, there’s only so much time you can have before its due!
If you’d like to know more about how I created my Sea Dress + Manny, click the link below:
Special thanks to: -Debbie of the Costume Design shop at SJSU. Without Debbie, this project wouldn’t have been possible. When my sewing machine crapped out, Debbie graciously allowed me in her class to use one of the shop’s sewing machines. She kindly guided me through a lot of sewing techniques that I was new to and was a great teacher to learn from!
-My friend Lain who is a total pro and avid cosplay costume maker. She also advised and taught me a lot of Sewing 101 basics! Please check out her work at: http://lorraine-yee.blogspot.com/
-TJ, Joel, Peter, and Marcus assisting me with making Manny 1 & 2!! Thank you SO MUCH guys!!
So this was my first time casting and it was our practice piece for class. I found my old Pikachu toy lying inside my room and created a two part mold for it with a box and sifted sand. Pouring the molten metal into the mold was really cool!! and also beautiful (seeing the liquid metal).
You’ll notice on the backside of Metal Pikachu, his back caved in a bit. We learned that with all casted molds they begin hollow inside. If the metal doesn’t harden in time, it’ll sometimes collapse in. (It has a collapsed noodle shape in its back side o.o)
