Color contrast Composition

I found this picture on a website that displays garden sculptures and lighting fixtures. I really liked the photograph taht was taken of these glowing light fixtures in this garden. I like the contrast and reflection of the light on the plants. the choice of angle and the clearness of the images in the foregroound make the piece a lot more interesting.

Gumball Mesh

While making my magazine articles and cover pages, I decided I needed to incorporate more of my own artwork, so for and advertisement page I decided I wanted to use this gumball machine that I created in illustrator. Its not completely finished yet, but I think it would be a good thing to work on further so that I can work on my gradient mesh skills a little more and get better at it as well as be able to use this in my project.

Iphone Camera Concept

I found this to be an interesting piece because I couldnt believe that this is an actual concept that someone thought up. its an iphone that would have an attachable lens that you would find on a more expensive camera. I think its a really interesting design and idea.. but who is going to carry around a giant lens with their iphone on the off chance that they would want to take some high quality photos..

Cup design

This is another example of interesting use of positive and negative space. at first I thought that the shape of the heart was photoshopped in, but then when I looked on the website I got it from I realized it was an actual product. The photo taken though bothers me because the reflection in the cup is really distracting and I find myself more interested in finding out what the reflection is rather than paying attention the the desgin of the product.

Positive Negative Space

I found this sculpture awhile ago while looking for different examples of 3D art. I really like the how the sculpture when viewed from a different angles creates an image in the negative space of a leaf-like shape. I also like how the sculpture creates movement by using the lines in the wood to curve around the outside edge of the piece. The photograph of this piece really brings out the many aspeccts of its design and makes it more interesting to the viewer.

Silent Hill

While browsing through the IGN website I found out that there is going to be a re-imaged rerelease of silent hill three. I was looking through screenshots and different images and I really liked this one because of the symmetry and the use of color, and lightness and darkness that really brings out the dark gloomy feel of the game.

Table of Contents design

Because I am taking a publication design class, I wanted to do some research on different types of table of contents pages for magazines. I liked this one in particular because of the font used that gives ita  gritty grungey feel that goes well with the theme of the magazine. I also like the typograpy and the positioning of the images and words. Im currently working on a table of contents page for my Gamer magazine and I might change my mind on the font I have been using for it.
