Project 4

This project was absolutely a test in precision and resource organization. I think what I came away with most from this was a sense of needing to make sure layers were easily accessable and neatly organized so every little shape will be possible to adjust. The easiest part was figuring out what aesthetic to go […]

Project 3

This piece gave me a lot of insigt towards the methods in which product designers go about making packaging, as well as what they need to be mindful of. The easiest part of this project wasn’t any one thing in particular for me, but making the background pattern was somewhat relaxing, as it allowed me […]

Project 2

This is the banner and avatar I did for project 2. In it, I attempted to make the background out of marble with the gold pattern overlay. The effect was less of a sculpture and more like a simple pattern unfortunatly, and because I switched from Photoshop to Affinity Photo in the interest in saving […]

Lab4

The pattern was pretty difficult to make at first, as I used an image of leather with a shine to it. This second image worked perfectly, however, so much so in fact that I couldn’t tell when the pattern was offset, and I thought something went wrong. As for the other image I think that […]

Project 1

All of these images were taken around my dorm. These all represent small parts of my everyday dorm life here at Canisius, and the items in these spaces all have a story behind them.

Lab 3 Reflection

In this lab I re-learned a good bit about the tools in photoshop after not having touched the program for a bit. It was easy to do everything after I got back into the motions, but the few new things I found somewhat difficult for a little bit. My submission could probably be improved if […]

Lab 1

These four images are all from my intro to DMA class. All of these were created in photoshop, using a little bit of illustrator here and there. My favorite would have to be the Will Smith genie valentines day card. It quite romantic if I do say so myself. These all are items I put […]

Final Project

In this project I learned a degree of minimalism, and how to do more with less. It wasn’t terribly difficult, but I did what I could to make the images coherent and visually appealing. The challenging part was the image tracing, especially with all the inevitable fine tuning and glitches that come with it. If […]

Project 3, Visual Metaphors

Pride Comes before Fall This project I learned that photoshopping images together requires a lot more small complexities that I originally thought. It was easy once I found two images that actually fin together well, but before that I had plenty of trouble making the images look like they fit, as well as conveying what […]

Project 2

This project was much more difficult than the last, much in part thanks to the introduction of color into the equation. I was quite shocked to learn just what a program of figma was capable of, however. With just the use of some effects and color gradients, one can make so much using nothing but […]
