Middle-Earth






   


















    Digital Arts III project where we had to recreate a fantasy map of our choosing in our own style. Middle-Earth was of course my first choice and I thought trying to show its colors seemed fun, since I haven't seen many colored maps of Middle-Earth. I tried to make all symbols on the map look like they really belonged to their specific area, hence why there are different kinds of trees everywhere and why all the mountains are different colors depending on their location. Everything here except the compass, words, and textures was drawn with the mouse. My first recreation of the map was in fact so detailed that it crashed my program and computer. Project completed in Adobe Illustrator. 

    Middle-Earth of course belongs to the Tolkien Estate. Old paper texture and compass rose created by others.

Hot Freaks Album

Image
      A project from Digital Arts III where we had to design the outside and inside of an album cover for a band or artist we enjoyed. I decided to make a new album for the band Hot Freaks including some of my favorite songs of theirs. A drive-in theme seemed fitting for the lovey-dovey style of music they have. The screen (on what would be the inside of the album) is showing the last frame from one of their music videos with an added "The End" to make it seem more like an older movie. The quote from that same side is taken from one of the members about the power of music. Project completed in Adobe Illustrator.      The Cadillac photo on the front was taken from  hoctcars.com and the vintage paper texture is from lostandtaken.com. The black and white drive-in photo is from Getty Images. The road photograph was created by another and the scene on the screen belongs to Hot Freaks.

Dragon Jewels Cereal

Image
    Assignment from Digital Arts III was to make a cereal box design with a mascot and at least 3 pictures. I couldn't think of any dragon cereal mascots so I decided to make one. I drew him with the mouse and decided to make the cereal like the jewels dragons typically sit on. Project completed in Adobe Illustrator.      The General Mills logo belongs to General Mills. The spoon, cereal, and dragon scale texture were created by others.
