Sound!

So, since we are moving into representing sound with imagery for our form class, and music always is an inspiration to me, my inspiration is this video! Or rather, these multiple videos!! Basically I was on this website for hours and played almost every combo possible. So awesome!!! Everyone please play with this and tell me how much fun it is :oD
You can play as many as you want!!! kjahsldkjhlksjahf!!! I can barely retain my excitement!

anyways, here is the link:

Arts Relation to Music

































In Form & Communication class, we had to listen to a series of songs (no words/lyrics) and create images that represented what we were hearing, paying attention to tone, beat, feel etc. It was a fun process! I adore being an art major <3

Inspiration-Nature














Nature really inspires my artwork. Although I'm sick of the cold, I did appreciate the scene mother nature had created with this lone tree in a snow covered field. I took this picture on sunday while I was driving home from school. I'd like to return to this tree again when the snow melts and winter turns to spring.
I find it's always good to have your camera at the ready in case a good photo opportunity comes along, even if it requires suddenly pulling over on the roadside.

Process-3D Drop Cap & Radial Poster






































Since I love cardboard, I decided to make my 3D drop cap out of it. I made a "T" and created a box and then covered it with fabric I found.
For one of my Cage The Elephant radial posters, I drew out text and sketched a picture which I then scanned in and used.


Photograms





































For this photogram assignment, I actually used inspiration from my Type II Axial poster
assignment and used the drawings. I also included necklaces and earrings to form shapes.

Tina Dolin Photography





































I came across this photographer on facebook. She is actually from my hometown area. I absolutely love her conceptual photography! The textures and tonality of her images are so beautiful. I just love conceptual photography in general. Photography is something I have an interest in and really inspires me day to day. I'm hoping to somehow incorporate photography into one of my Typography assignments at some point. Here's the link to some of her photography:

Revised "A" Drop Cap



















Although a minor change, I moved the swirl that is the cross bar, up so it was not grazing the baseline. Still need to do some tweakage on some small details.
