Website comp for a fictitious company. No, the logo type in the logo was not mine, I simply designed around it; and yes, I did go in and make up fake forum threads. I went for a vectory feel, foregoing the cliched paint splatters one would usually associate with paintball. We start Graphic Web Design next month. Exciting stuff!

As with the previous two, this work was also on a brand new medium. This time, film. My class was tasked with making a three minute commercial for a product of our choosing. I chose to do a trailer for a fictitious Hitman game. I didn’t get all the shots I wanted, but I think it turned out rather well, all things considered. Incidentally, I hope to get into the movie business in one form or another once I graduate. The music was shamelessly lifted from the Hitman: Blood Money soundtrack and is composed by the brilliant Jesper Kyd. It’s a big file, so you might want to hunker down. I suggest you watch it in high quality to get the full breadth of the cheesiness and amateurism. Shot on DV and edited in Final Cut Pro.

These two were my first foray into Photoshop. Both were assigned in my Art History class. The first is a Fight Club poster made to look like Medieval stained glass. It was done solely by tracing and painting. (I’ve managed to turn the most sophisticated photo-editing software and turn it into MS Paint.) Despite that, I got very positive feedback from my peers.

The second is made to look like pop art inspired by pop culture, in this case: the infamous LOLcats. I had no idea what to do and a friend suggested to copy the style of Roy Lichtenstein. This worked out quite well as it was fairly simple to execute, yet still allowed me to retain that oh-so-coveted glory.
