This is one of my favorite shots from my tour of Ireland: a breathtaking view of the famous Old Head of Kinsale.
Panorama: Kitchen at Night
This is my first panorama – a simple shot of my kitchen. I knew next to nothing about shooting these, but I wanted to try one so I experimented a bit. I think it turned out great! I’ll probably do some more in preparation for my trip to Ireland in three and a half weeks. … Continue reading »
WTSC Logo Treatment: Grunge
I’ve always been interested in vintage and grunge-style designs: Distressing your type and manipulating the color and texture of a piece until it looks vintage and quaint, or rebellious and rampant, or some combination of the two. My attempt to practice this style on my own produced this piece. I think it could be the … Continue reading »
…Make The Media
This is my final project from Clarkson’s Principles of Typography class. I took a David Carson-style approach to a generic poster I’d seen many times hanging outside the Communication & Media office. I distressed the type by hand. It was time consuming, and the effect might be too subtle to notice at first, but I’m happy with … Continue reading »
JST Poster
This poster features one of my favorite musicians – Joanne Shaw Taylor. She’s awesome – buy her music. This is a simple poster built around a photo I took of Joanne during a gig, and a font that seemed appropriate (read: better looking than all the other default fonts on Windows XP). I set the type … Continue reading »
WTSC Digital Signage
Midway through my undergrad career, Clarkson’s student radio station re-branded itself and focused on reaching out and getting more involved with the student body and other media clubs on campus. The website was redesigned, promotions were stepped up, and the capstone to all of this was a new visual identity for the club – an … Continue reading »
T-Shirt Design
One of my contributions to WTSC’s new visual identity (story here) was this club T-Shirt. I came up with a few ideas – we wanted something distinctive and easy to read as you passed through the hallways on campus. Our final concept, and finished product, is derivative of the very famous “I Love NY” logo … Continue reading »
Pinecrest
My final 3D project at Clarkson was something completely new to me: architecture. My goal was to design a small building or installation that could potentially be used as part of the university’s plans to renovate its waterfront area near the Raquette river. I researched local history and looked at the river and its role in … Continue reading »
Steakman
Steakman, my second assignment in Clarkson’s Advanced Digital Object Design course, was my first experience with 3D printing and studio quality rendering. The goal was to conceptualize and produce a solid object, to scale, which could actually be manufactured, as opposed to the “3D data for 2D Illustration” style projects I’d done up to that point. … Continue reading »
“The” Bedroom Project
Of the 3D projects I’ve done so far, this one is my favorite. The assignment was similar to “The” Still Life (we had to duplicate our 2D source image in 3D as closely as possible) but the difference is that this time, I got to work from my own reference photo. The apartment that I … Continue reading »
