IT'S NOT FACISM! Marx would have been proud.

Finished my type project with a broad spectrum of words I used.
I had fun and I believe the type speaks for itself...

New iREWL logo up, thought this one looked more classy. 

Communication Through Type Mutilation

Today I started a project in my typography class. The project is an exploration of one word without using any sort of illustration. I tried to shy away from illustrious fonts so it wouldn't defeat the purpose. Here are some early ideas.

ÜBER WENCH 3000. Hyper Realistic Digital Animation.

This was a portrait I worked on for a friend. I used a realistic skin tone, but went for more of a comic book feel with the intense blacks. I spent about 18 hours give or take before I gave up on the project, because it was an absolute wench. Anyhow, as you can notice I used the Kuler™application for skin and hair hues. I used the pen tool for most or the skin and hair. I wouldn't recommend using the pen tool for hair detail on a project. It added at least 2-3+ hours of editing to get it right. I used the pencil and paint brush tools for the shirt and background.

Overall, the project was a lot of fun. Especially because I used a high dpi mouse for this one instead of the WACOM pad. I think that if it became any more realistic it might lose the power of its imagery. The high detail/ high contrast is the stylized look I was going for. The hue matching was spot on thanks to 8 different brush libraries gathered by Kuler™.

Well, that's all for now, check back tomorrow for another illustration/ design.

First Blogspot Post!!!

Although, this has not been my first blog ever. It will probably be the most important and influential one I ever create. Especially since my other one was a Xanga™ I created in 7th grade. I am proud to get all my thoughts and feelings out with my design work which will be evident in this post and many to come. I am not afraid to be blunt or explicit. I want my work to become revolutionary in terms on things people have never accomplished doing in design.

My mission is to show you the viewer of this website my true style and emotion towards life. I intend on shattering many barriers in Graphic Design that are not considered optically possible. To accomplish this, I will keep you updated every week on my progress as a designer. I consider myself a scientist of art, because I don't necessarily do everything by the book (on occasion). The human brain was not built to imagine many of the designs and illustrations you will soon view.

So without further ado, let the revolution begin!
