double feature! essay editorial and poster

Couple different projects for this week. Fist a editorial assignment on the modern memory of WWII and second a play poster for the Marriage of Figaro.

wine label project

this is a wine label I completed for a project. I like it alright but the best part of this project was finding out the glitch on mac preview

the weird thing that's been happening with mac preview for me is when I save huge tiff files as smaller jpegs they invert the colors and when I use photoshop to reverse the process the colors it seems that they go total psychedelic and damn interesting 

this ones my favorite 

...It got progressively pixelated

Thunder club posters

So funnily enough in my main classes in illustration i've been  doing primarily digital work. However I got a math class that's letting me create stuff based on my interpretation of mathematic ideas and the work for that class has been all in traditional media. Which is been good because it's allowed me to simply interpret and make something cool without to much worry about critique.

these above were made to show off the principle of the triangle as the strongest shape within their composition. Also they are rock posters for a fictional club and band.

These two were actually reworked compositions from preliminary sketches for other projects. the ideas in the originals didn't work but I enjoyed the initial composition. 

food as fashion illustration

This piece is all about transforming a type of food into an outfit. This particular one is Massaman Curry. A curry invented by the Thai and heavily influenced by muslim traders. The colors, patterns and accessories represent a specific ingredient.  The head scarf is the chilies, outer shirt, red curry paste, undershirt, brown rice, the belt, limes, the pants are  peanuts, the gun is cinnamon and the shoes are bay leafs. the mask is nothing because masks are cool.
