Mosaic Project

Client Design Project

My brother in law owns a company named 'Church Specialties Inc.' His company specializes in wood restoration, upholstery, and other organizing needs that churches or temples need. As I contacted him about this project he gave me a copy of his logo, and a couple of brochures. These are some things that he would like me to work on.

TEE 125 Photoshop Artwork

Before talking to Geoff

After talking to Geoff

In Adobe Photoshop I learned how to use a lot of different tools / techniques. At first I turned in the first picture, but then I found out it's due date got changed. In class Geoff gave me some tips on how to make it look better. From that I tried using those ideas to create the second picture and I feel it turned out a lot better.

These are the techniques that I used: I learned to cut pictures out, give texture to picture (me), give panda effect using the brush tool and overlaying with a different color, a cool text effect learned by following a tutorial, and using different combination of effects to create the background.

TEE 125 Brochure

This is my first brochure that I have ever made. I used Adobe Illustrator. For the most part I felt like this project went well, but the more and more I look at it, I see things that I can improve on. Next semester I will be taking the design class which I feel will help out a great deal. In case you could not tell the outside of my design is a refrigerator with the doors open looking from the back of the fridge.

Logo Re-Design

This was for my TEE 125 class using Adobe Illustrator.

First creations post

I figure since I made a blog to do posts of my creations then I better start. July 19-23 I went to a teachers workshop. It was called 3D modeling and animation which was taught at UVU by Anthony Romrell, a UVU teacher. I learned quite a lot in the few days. The program that we used was Autodesk Maya. I have never used Maya before. I have found it to be a pretty cool 3d modeling program. Throughout the week I learned to make a lamp (I turned it into a faucet lamp), a sailboat, a couch, and the last project was a face that we worked on. I still need to finish the rest of the head then make a body for it, but I will post what I have done. We did a little bit of UV mapping too, but I'm not going to post any of that stuff. This workshop was well worth my time and my money, since it only cost $25 for the week and that covered our lunches too. Well here are pictures of the models that I did:

This much of the face took me 4 1/2 hours to do. You have to have a lot of patience to do it, and be a little bit OCD.
