DMA 234 - Textures (Week 2)

Here are my three (3) textures for this week:

DMA 234 - Textures (Week 1)

For this course (Computer Graphics & Imaging), I'm required to produce 3 new textures eack wk, using the various tools found in Photoshop. Here are my 1st set for textures.

DMA 101 - 3D Scenes

The first attached jpeg entitled “Magician’s Hat” depicts objects you would find at a magic show. Among the objects present is a magician’s hat along with a magic wand. Both objects were brought to life by using 3D Revolve. Plastic shading was used on the surfaces of the hat and the wand. The red ribbon was mapped onto the hat. Linear gradient option was used for the curtain in the background and the radial gradient option was used on the tablecloth top which the hat lays on. Drop shadow was used on the hat. The magic dust was created by using my own custom
made symbol. The Symbol Sprayer Tool was then use to create the magic dust effect.

The second attached jpeg entitled “Oscar – Red Carpet” depicts a red carpet affair at the Academy Awards. An Oscar statue stands directly in the centre of the design. It was created by using the 3D Revolve tool. The two major star shapes in the background was created by using the Star tool and the final effects were done by using the 3D Extrude and Bevel option. Linear gradient was used on the statue, the two major stars, the red carpet and on the carpet poles. Radial gradient was used in the background. Plastic shading was used on the surfaces of all the objects present. Drop shadows were placed under the statue and also under the poles.The starry effect background was created by using a preset star symbol and my own small Gaussian blurred circles that was then placed as a symbol and then used with the Symbol Sprayer tool.

DMA179 - Skatedeck

So for my final assignment for my Sketching for Communication course, I had to produced a print for a skatedeck using the theme "PREDATOR." So I decided to use my love for tribal art and design a snake.

Brainstorming/ Inspiration

So it get me started on this project, I jotted down some potential ideas for my skatedeck & from there, I decided to look at further imagery to get an idea of what style I would go for.

Rough Sketch of desired design

I tried to incorporate various elements into my one & only design and this is what I ended up with. I wanted to snake to give off a "tribal design" feel to it.

Desired Colour Template

I wanted to incorporate earth tones colours in the final design

Vector Elements

The desired sketch was them scanned and then made into a vector illustration using Adobe Illustrator

Raster Elements

I decided to use a wooden texture as my deck background. The texture was created using Adobe Photoshop.






Typography

I decided to use my own freelancing logo on the skatedeck. It was sketched, scanned and created in to a vector illustration using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.




For the word "Designs", I used the font "Constantia"





Skatedeck W.I.P

Both the raster and vector elements were put together to give a final view of how the potential skatedeck would look. This was then sent to print.





Skatedeck Final

This is the final result of the Tribal Snake "PREDATOR" skatedeck. It was placed on a blank wooden skatedeck and then sprayed with clear acrylic paint to give it a glossy feel.

DMA179 - Inspired Sketch ( James Paterson)

For this assignment, I was assigned the Canadian multimedia designer James Paterson (PRESSTUBE)

From my research, I realized that his style consisted of mainly lines and organic shapes.
So from my research, I was inspired to create a piece based on his style.

DMA204 : Depth of Field

The task for this photography assignment was to line three objects diagonally & to shoot each object one by one in focus while the others would be out of focus.

DMA204 - TEL Building Tour

For this assignment, I had to take 12 shots of the TEL building ( at York University & Seneca College of Applied Arts) & create a tour of the building that I would explain to someone else in another part of the world.

You can find my building tour images at the link below:

DMA179 - Soy Sauce Painting

So my task for this assignment was to create images for a client (NINJA NY Restaurant) that would be used in their menu. The images were painted with using a paintbrush and soy sauce! It was my first time ever using soy sauce to create art & I pretty much enjoyed it!
