new facebook XD

http://www.facebook.com/taffetas

Hey! Long time since I last Posted,
but I'm excited toshow off the newly redesigned facebook group. I have never done facebook pages like this before, but after hitting the books and figuring things out I was able to make a nice welcome tab from a static fbml app. It rather took me a bit to figure things out though it was worth it. It's now a more professional, easier to understand, mini-site.

If you haven't liked us yet on Facebook, do it!
You will receive updates from the blog on your wall, a mere visit to the page will directly take you to our main page, if you already like us you will have to click "The Taffetas" link on our side links, or just click here!

What's exciting, too, is this is also a bit of a sneak peek at our upcoming website specifically for interested sponsors, distributors and supporters to plainly state who we are, what we're doing, and what our show is all about!

So stay tuned, everyone. Big things are in store!




Just for kicks I wanted to show the other design choice I was thinking prior to the completed thing. Below is the screen shot of it. Not too different admittedly, but I fixed some things up. Other choices I had made before was a lime green/grey color scheme, a dark red/gold one and an all white set-up. For obvious reasons I did not go with those.


Anyhow, you should check out the facebook group. I'm rather proud of it.

Something Beautiful

Here it is completed :D

Taffetas Poster

____________________________________________
This is a poster I created for the pitch The Taffetas, an online drama series. It is to be featured in today's Senior Soiree at the Savannah College of Art and Design campus. If the pose looks familiar, its because it is referencing Botticelli's, The Birth of Venus. Hopefully people find them as humorous as last quarter and we get a nice turn out.



____________________________________________
The image above does not do it justice. The original printed poster will be done in a 3 layer cut out format where Gemini pops out from the poster just ever so slightly, and Veil is jumping in from the left, blushing (though his blush doesn't show in this one), and trying to cover up his wife.



____________________________________________
The characters themselves were sketched out by Tracy MacLauchlan and then vectored by myself.

Whoa

What a quarter. Though it is not over yet, I am finally glad to get through the worsts of it. But if you are wondering how everything went, I will have to admit though this was a very stressful experience it was very rewarding as well. For those that do follow me you probably already know that lately I have been balancing classes and a (nerve wracking) pitch to Nancy Spears, director of marketing of Warner Brothers (She's actually very nice). All in all however after spending approx. 2 weeks or more on the book, and trying to round up all the final work for people, the final result was beau-ti-ful, and something I was very proud of :)

Well happy to say it went very well.

Here is some behind the scenes work for the screen shot XD

My biggest Project ....everrr

Hello Everyone,
The Taffetas pitch is going really well! We've received so much amazing work, and more is on the way. If you know of Pompfiction, the creator Brianna has helped us along and created comics for us. Here they are. You can read them on the blog :)




As well as a few storyboards from Kelsey, one of our storyboard artists. She's but a freshmen, but she still manages to do amazing work, and I am very happy to have her on the project.



For anyone who has been interested in The Taffetas, or has no idea what I am talking about, its an original series pitch Tracy and I have been doing together for the last 2 months now. We've managed to get alot done in only 6 weeks, and more work is soon to come. XD If you like The Taffetas, please show us some support in either checking out the blog, or clicking Like on our Facebook page.

Hello world, Sorry I have been gone.

Man its been so long since I have ventured in Blogger. I've been meaning to, but it seems one thing happens after another, and school here at SCAD has me drowned in homework. So what I'm going to do is try to stick to updating regularly again, starting now.

As for what I've been up to lately, well lots. I have an internship at MindCatalyst, and I am currently design lead for them. Strange huh.... the girl who draws baby animals got a serious job. It's launching sometime in 2011 (can't give out that kind of thing you know) but if you would like to visit the temporary website CLICK HERE !

It's a nice little site I temporary put up. Designed that and the logo myself. Pretty proud of it :D

Another really large project I am in now is "The Taffetas" a pitch to Warner Brothers that myself and close friends of mine co-created. I would visit the site, if only to give emotional support. We'd appreciate any feedback a person can give. Tracy and I are very smitten with the project and as the days go on, and more and more work get fleshed out, I am sure the Taffeta's will be a project to be proud of. So far we've made advertisements for the project. Those are them below.

The tag line was "cover our behinds, costume designers needed!" and "what are you doing!? If nothing, lend us a hand" It was a play on the relationship between the characters. The husband on the right furious lol.
