Website and Idea Sketches

Attached below are some really rough sketch ideas that I have developed for my future website. I like ideas that are clean and organized. It was hard for me to sketch and visualize how the website will look via the sketch since a website has a lot of different components and links.

Below is my link Layout that I plan on using for my website!

Representative Work

Not only is James Mardsen one of my favorite actors, this is also one of my favorite pieces of my past work. Not only do I love the simplicity of the image, I also love the simplified colors as well as the overall balanced look of the image. This was created in Adobe Illustrator using mostly the path tool. The image was inspired by a photograph of the Actor which I converted into more simpler shapes. 

Artist Watch

Here are 3 artists that I have recently come into knowledge of, and I find them to not only be creative and successful, but inspiring as well.

I actually have never seen or used Behance before and found this website to be a great tool for not only finding artists, but for inspiration and ideas as well. Two of these artists focus on branding and the third focuses on App design. I enjoyed how Ramation showed his sketches and process of some of his projects and designs. The logo and branding designers also had really good simplicity and style to them that caught my eye as well. All three artists seemed professional and have good quality work. Which are both aspects I want not only my work to reflect but my blog/website to reflect as well!

Layout for Comic Strip

Here is a rough of my layout for my comic strip I am working on. The first image is the beginning of what the rest of the images will look like. 

Poster Design With Changes

Flying Reptile Poster Design

In light of the new flying reptile exhibit at the Toledo Zoo, here are some poster designs I worked on for the exhibit. I am really in love with the first one, but not so much the second one. I couldn't seem to get the layout just right and would probably have benifited from having more time to work on it. But overall I am happy with the way they came out as a whole!
