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.

I was also given the pleasure of working on a good friend of mine's website. I am surrounded by amazing artists ;0; Here are some shots from her website. I haven't worked on it in a long time, but I figured, why not put it on here now that I am redoing my own website.

Web Design

So I was given the honor of creating a website for the ever talented Tracy Maclauchlan at tracy-maclauchlan.com. Please feel free to visit the website, though as of right now it is on the revamp, so I still got a bit more work to do. Either way here are screenshots of the completed thing.

Panacea Tea Design

________________________________
So I have completed the Tea Design posters and I would love to show them off. I think I did a pretty nice job. It is for a faux Tea Company that sells alternative medicinal teas. I designed the logo, the posters, the box, the website, and little handouts. Above are the logo designs in full color, in gray, and in strictly black in white.



________________________________
These are the (mostly) completed poster design. I conveys the feeling and then offers a cure. Simple, earthy tones were used to convey a sense of warmth. The fully finished one includes text on what each one doe exactly, but I can't seem to find it. Either way, this is pretty much the final look of the piece.

These are the web screen shots that I did for the Panacea Company Website. It featured a gallery JavaScript code, and would be based in java and HTML primarily.

A lovely team member used my work to create these wonderful little coupons for the business. Thank you ;)

This was just a special little promotion piece I did for the project. A get well card and a bookmark. The idea was the card had a sample of our tea as well as a bookmark.

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.

Tracy is Sick :C

So I drew her a pic! It's Veil and Gem trying to stay warm with their poms. Admittedly I think Veil would rather be cold than be in Gem's (giamungus in this pic) jacket. Oh well. But anyways, it's my normal vector style... only in chibi and with a brush added :D I like it...not something I'd make a practice of doing since I'm not sure if it adds or distracts, but it was cool to try. Anyways Feel Better Tracy

:( ....I like them. they are not fully done or completely cohesive yet.... but atleast I got something I guess

The Taffetas

A movie clip I did in Flash. I had approx. a week to do it, and it was a hard thing to accomplish in a week, but because of the help of my amazing friends Tracy MacLauchlan and Dana Corrigan, I was able to finish rendering it in time. The end result came out much better than if I had worked on it on my own.
