Web Page Update

It's been a really long time since I've updated this blog, but I thought I'd make a post about the new update to my web page. I've uploaded the new version, but I'm still going to make a few changes to the portfolio section. But go ahead and check out what I posted. www.19greenpirates.com

Updated my portfolio

Just gave my portfolio a new look. Check it out: www.19greenpirates.com

My 3D Still Life Images

Here are some of the still life images I have done during J-term so far. Check them out!

New Painter Project

Here's a new project I did in Corel Painter. I'm really happy with it because I love the colors and the composition.

New Project

Here's one of my new photoshop projects that I put together in my digital imaging class.

Practicing with InDesign

This semester I'm taking desktop publishing and I'm learning a lot about Adobe InDesign. It's a pretty neat program that I've been wanting to learn how to use. I'm excited to see what I will be able to do with it. Currently I'm working on a take out menu for a restuarunt that I made up myself. I'll post a picture of it soon.

As promised before, I would keep everyone posted on the status of projects I've been working on for the summer. I have two projects going right now. The first and main one is a project I'm doing in Adobe Premeire Pro. It's my team video for my hockey team at Lindenwood. My other project is a flash cartoon that is coming along very slowly because there are many things that I don't remember from the program. It would be nice to be able to show a quick preview of the team video, so I might try to post a short clip from it.

troubles with flash

So I am very excited about using flash, but now that I have it, I realize that I have forgotten how to do a lot in it. It's been months since I've actually used it. I do have a really good book for flash tutorials, but I don't have it available for me to use it right now. Even though I am a little bit discouraged I want to work really hard at trying to figure a lot more stuff out, and hopefully my new project will get better.

new flash projects

I'm sooo excited because I just got my own copy of flash, so I'm planning on trying to work a lot more projects for the rest of the summer, and hopefully I'll have something good for my portfolio by the end of summer.

New band poster

I just created a new poster for my favorite band Dropkick Murphys. hope you like it.

Web page

I might work on a web page during the summer so that I can keep posting my projects. Keep looking up for new posts about it during the summer.

New drawing

Here's what I was able to do with the drawing that I scanned in. I'm really happy with the way it came out. I did try making it different colors. I tried red, green, and grayscale. I was most happy with the green one. Here it is:

More drawings...

I really liked the way my other drawing came out when I put it in photoshop, so I thought I'd try another with an older drawing that I did a while back. Here's the original:

Adobe Premiere Pro

I haven't talked a lot about video stuff on my blog yet because I haven't had as much time to shoot any videos. I do like making movies a lot though. I've got a project that I'm working on in Premiere for some of my friends, so I hope it turns out ok.

Plans for InDesign during the summer

So, I have really been wanting to use Adobe InDesign, and I have it and I've started reading about it, but I just haven't found the time to use it often. When I do get the time to use my computer, I usually just jump right to Photoshop. I think this summer since I will have more free time, I'll try to use InDesign more often. I will keep posting over the summer for anyone who is interested in seeing what I come up with.

Something different

So here is what I came up with for the Dropkick Murphys drawing. It's a lot different than most of the stuff I usually come up with, but like it a lot because I was able to use different parts of photoshop that I that I don't very oftne. Hope you like it.

drawings

Here's a drawing I did just for fun, I thought I would scan it and try to do some stuff with it in photoshop. Here's the drawing, i'll post the project after I run it through photoshop and try some stuff on it later.

Flash Tutorial

So it's been a while since I've actually used flash, but i'm looking to get back into it. This is just a simple tutorial that I thought would be a fun way to practice using flash again. Check it out and see if you like it: Flashvault.net

Final Helmet Design

I finished the helmet design. I will still leave it up for change, but I was pretty happy with what I have done already. I think if I add much more, the helmet will be too cluttered.

helmet design

I'm working on a design for my roommate's goalie helmet. We both play ice hockey for Lindenwood University, and she was thinking about getting a new paint job on her helmet for next season. Here's a design that I got from a freind of mine, and I'm working on changing it in photoshop.
