My Improved Resume



I think this one is a little better and guides the eye better. Not as "exotic" as the previous.

My Resume

This is my first design resume. I would really love advice on it in both design and content. Please comment!

Self Portrait Made of Type

The assignment was presented to my class at the beginning of class. We had one class period(less than three hours) to create the piece. We had to take a picture with the camera on the computer in the lab for reference, then choose a typeface or a few and words that represent us and make a self portrait.

I chose Bauhaus for a number of reasons. I wanted to play with the my mixture of being silly and serious. Bauhaus to me is a typeface that can seem both serious and playful. Its also a geometric typeface(my favorite type) and the Bauhaus is very important in the design field...which obviously is my major and passion. My illustration is made completely from the letters in my name and the title.
As it developed it reminded me of a movie poster so I decided to make that what it is. Staring me in the feature "The Man Without The Plan"

 This the picture I used as reference:

007 Intros

These intros made me so excited. I really hope I can do a few stylized movie intros in my career. They will make for good reference for my flash animation.

This is what I do INSTEAD of HW

Found an old drawing of mine from yeeeears ago. I decided to bring it in and color it. I'm not finished, I intend on doing shades and shines and some effects for the powers. Probably will change the colors also. Might make a cool T-shirt or something. Hopefully the people behind the Power Puff Girls don't sue me!

Battle-bet sketches

These are the initial sketches. Still working on the "G". The "E" is the only one that is cropped. Not sure if I want to keep it like that or make it look like the stick was broken off or choose a different weapon. The "A" might change and the kind of flip knife the "L" is might change. I have the names of most of these weapons. None are made up. I intend on drawing them in detail and vectoring them. I really want to get into the details of these weapons. A lot of them have very cool patterns and details on them that could make them interesting. I intend on keeping it mostly grey scale. Might add some bronze and/or wood color. Please comment what you think!
