What you see above is my latest creation for the DS106 Album Cover assignment. The Band’s name, Pinocchio Paradox, is seemingly a hardcore heavy metal music band that is rectifying the music scene with its new crazy style. Here are a list of the songs on their first CD “Life’s Not the Movies.” 1. The ...

So for my second DS106 assignment I decided to do the design project named “Cartoon You.” The directions read; Remake you (or someone you know and love) into a cartoon character. Draw you on a piece of paper, on a tablet, take a photo and use software to convert it to comic book style, or […]

DaVinci invents the Kitchen Sink This assignment requires us to tell a story by breaking it down into the common elements and themes and recreating it as a sketch. I haven’t drawn for a while.

The Ds106- Splash The Color  Color splash is a technique to emphasize details- you remove all color from a photo, and then restore original color to a single object.  Think of the Girl in the red dress from Schindler’s List. I didn’t know this technique until I done this assignment. The processes are actually pretty simple. For photoshop,  first you ...
