Sketches

These are a few sketches done in class. The two pieces of furniture were my first experiences with one point perspective drawing. The sketch of the room corner was a second assignment in which I had to use one point perspective.

Textile Pattern

This project was a digital textile created with aspects of my own heritage. Scottish decent is a proud heritage to carry. Emphasis is placed on any Scotts man to display their heritage any chance they can by means of displaying their Clan tartan at special events (usually in the way of a kilt)or taking part in honored traditions. Two of the traditions displayed here are the ceremonial Highland dancer, originally done over the shield of a defeated clansmen and a Luckenbooth, given to Scotts women on their wedding day to symbolize health and prosperity which is then pinned to the woman’s first child’s blanket as a protector from evil spirits. This project furthered my experience with Adobe Photoshop and the filter effects. I feel it is clear from the last Photoshop project I have improved.

Quilt Pattern

This picture is my first experience with Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. Essentially I took pictures I had taken and distorted them in Photoshop using the effects filters and then in InDesign created a quilt-like pattern to shape the images within. This project helped me become familiar with the programs and how to go about digitally changing images. I feel like this was a good starting point for coming into these programs without a clue.
