smashed.

first: sorry for the bad photography. i had to make up a name and a design a label for a wine. i decided to call mine "smashed." why? well, you get smashed when you drink it. also, grapes are "smashed" i like how this turned out. it was actually fun to make. gasp!

gift of life.

this is a logo i made for a blood drive that goes drives around to different texas schools to get donations. i had to make up a name for the 2008 drive, so i went with "the gift of a lifetime." my first version of this was very flat so i made the present a cube to make it more interesting. the bow made of blood drops was the hardest thing to do and although it's much better than my first versions, i'm still not completely happy with it...

green thumb.

this is a logo i made for a made up flower shop called green thumbs. i traced my hand with black paint and used a stick instead of a paint brush to get the texture. That was part of the assignment. I repeated the hand to make a flower shape and it worked out great. I ended up taking some of the texture from the hands and putting it in the font so the image and the name could be tied together.

fuck city, usa.

i made this for fuck city, usa. they wanted a robot and a bear fighting. this is what i ended up making. check them out: www.myspace.com/neoknowledgecenter

i said goodbye!

this is another flyer for goodbye blue mondays. i made it because i was really bored at my internship today. that little guy isn't a stack of post its...he is a day by day calendar....dancing his blues away. i like the simplicity and the color of it. yep. i think i might print this as a poster since i designed it at 8.5 x 11 this time.

goodbye blue mondays.

i made this for ryan (dj r-a-a). he has a night at boss bar. everyone should go and shake what their mama gave them or just stand around and try to look cool. 

rad scarssss.

 

i just made this for daecos and baby michael. they have become a duo called rad scarssss and they kick major ass. if you have a myspace, add them: myspace.com/radscarsss. they play on every third sunday of every month at boss bar. this is waaaaay different than anything i've ever done before and i'm happy about it. i like how it turned out. yep.

cassette happy.

i made these happy cassettes for a header of a site that i'm working on for my web class. it was fun making them. i've really been enjoying illustrating things lately. i think i'm getting much better at it. i added the "textured" look to it just to try it out, since i never do textures in my work.

these are all icons that i used on the blog i made. i like how simple they are. i usually hate doing icons, but these were actually fun to come up with and didn't take very long to make. yay for simplicity!

zooquest.

the project that is due tomorrow is for a children's zoo. my partner and i decided to call the zoo Zooquest. the theme of the zoo was adventure. i'm kind of glad that project is over, but i think we did a really good job. there is wayyyy too much stuff that we did to post on here, so i just chose my the two favorite things. i made the zebra, tiger, and giraffe for some interactive screens that we were going to have all around the park and the logo is below those animals. it's supposed to resemble writing that explorers might come across in a cave or something while on a quest.

blog.

the blog i created is up and running. the name of it is Love, Miss Rockets. i don't have much stuff on it yet, but it's there. i like how it turned out, maybe because i worked super hard on it (i actually lost all of it and had to re-do the whole thing. grrr.) i guess we'll see if i actually start using it...click on the link below to check it out.

love, miss rockets.

rebel waltz.

it's 2: 47am. i did it again. i got bored and started playing in illustrator. my awesome friend kristina has a street style blog called the rebel waltz, so i thought i'd make something for her. when i thought of making kristina into a toon, i automatically knew that she would have her heart shaped glasses and her signature bun and bangs. she rocks those things like no one else. i'm hoping she likes this. 

jenn toon.

i made this just for fun. it is supposed to be me. it is 2:17 in the morning. i just finished this. i had fun. i need to have fun with photoshop more often. i really should have used illustrator. i sound like a robot.

simd.

the first assignment of print 3: design the new simd poster. simd = school of interactive media and design. that is the school i go to at the university of the incarnate word. the poster that they currently have sucks...a lot. i noticed that they had been choosing designs that were photo heavy, so i decided to stay away from photography and went in a completely graphic direction. this is a completely different style than what i usually do, but i wanted to do something different and something that would grab the attention of high school students, since that is the target audience. it was fun working on this. i'm positive my design won't be chosen, but i'm alright with that. there are three people who really deserve to win. i hope one of them are chosen. i turned this in yesterday, but there are still quite a few things that need tweaking (mostly on the back of the poster). i am diggin' it though...

blog.

i am working on a blog for my web 3 class right now. the top image is the header for it and the bottom image is the pattern i made for the background of the blog. it's all about the glasses. i really do like that pattern a lot. click on the images to see them at a larger size.

header.

i just finished this. it's a header for a guestbook page that i have to make for my web 3 class. i wanted to try a style that is much more fun than what i usually do. i am kind of mad at myself for using circles again. i'm so predictable. i need to snap out of the circle obsession i'm in.
