After I went up the canyon again last Sunday, I stopped to look over the valley at a parking lot just off campus on 400 North. As I sat, enjoying the visual feast, I started picking up rocks and thought it'd be fun to put 'em together into a sculpture, since this whole year has been very 3-D oriented. I went back and hot glued this little thing. I think it's actually pretty cool, and I did do a great job editing the photo, since you can no longer see the hot glue.
Brand new logo for a brand new site. I think this is one of my more successful logos.
Self-Portrait. In clay. I'm making an angry face (in case you were uncertain).
Can't show you a straight-on shot, 'cause it looks really bad on camera--even worse than in person!
We'll pretend my bangs are that short...
This is my good side ;D I really like this angle
Pretty proud of this here image, I gotta say. It's for a product we're launching as a part of another product: Royalty-Free Audio Intros, some of which I created, perfect for presentations, websites, movies, etc. ;)
I've been making some pretty good headers lately, especially when compared to my old stuff, but it seems like no one is actully liking them :(. This one is for ezicing--I'm trying to Revamp it to get the quality of the site and its visual happiness to be equal. However, my mom promptly said she didn't like it.
Try #2, throw in the dots. She likes the dots, but still says something's wrong...
Try #3, didn't like the "squares," so she likes it without them, but still doesn't like it...Someday I shall conquer this project.
I did this one a while ago, thoroughly proud of the great new logo, the typography, the color scheme. I sent it to my dad and...rejected! He said there's no color! I didn't want there to be much color, I thought the nice cold business scheme was gonna work out...It's still my favorite, but I also like my last header.
My final project in Computers and Art. I had to design two spreads, a content page, and a cover for a magazine--thus, I made up Simply Cake Decorating, my mom's personal cake exhibition magazine. Right now, it's free of charge, but there are limited supplies, so get one quick. Also, be sure to check out the new charity that's opened up, I call it, "The Jess Brown Foundation For Starving Artist College Kids Who've Played Lacrosse And Drums And Halo And Who Speak German And Who Go To USU And Are Freaking Awesome Even Though They Have No Money So Donate To Us." Like it? I do.

This was a cool quote, so I thought I'd take a shot at some Typography--getting me excited for next semester, I think it's the class I've been most awaiting since I started Graphic Design, actually. Typography is too cool and I can't wait to figure out what I'm doing.
After my final in Computer Science, I decided to clean up the mess I'd made the last couple days, then remembered my commissioned project to create a star for #9's tree, so I cleaned a little and then sat down for a couple hours and came up with this wire-star. I then spray-painted it black, a nice finish, and it now looks super cool! Merry Christmas! :D (Dec. 7)
My final in 3D Design. It's a Peregrine Falcon found-object sculpture. This was fun. (Technically finished Dec. 7)
I think this is actually my favorite angle, because the "feathers" are just so cool--and so is the tail.
Side view. I thank Jeremy for providing the necessary piece that balanced the darn thing.
Falke! Sehr cool.
My last 3D Design project was a metamorphosis project using clay. I choose two objects (an hourglass and a ball-and-chain) and made a sequence that morphed one into the other. It was pretty cool, I love the actual ball-and-chain one (above), I think it was my best.
The whole thing.
Tiles 1 and 2.
Tiles 2 and 3.
My computers and art project. It's 10" x 18" and freakin' awesome. The arm is my roommate's, and I really like how my picture turned out after playing with it in Photoshop for so long. If you'll notice the bottom right-hand corner, it's brought to you by Phobia Publishing--recognize the logo? It's from my first comp and art project! Genius!
Here's the assignment; create a module (shown above) and make 20 of them, afterwhich put 'em all together into a 3D sculpture. I chose this awesome shape and based it off a fractal, because I think fractals are some of the coolest designs ever, hooray for math! Love it.
Bird's eye shot. You can see how I kept the composition pretty close to the module (making this "sculpture" a pseudo-fractal, since I didn't obey the strict iteration rules of fractals, but it's pretty close). Having a hard time seein' it? Check out the module in the first picture and note the "T" shape, the little square by itself and the bendy shape. Look at this picture, there's also a "T" shape, a bendy thing and the loner square--which is attached, but it's raised a bit to take its place in the "fractal," so there ya go.
DazzleBright Teeth Whitening Sales Page
I think this is my first successful web 2.0 web design, and it's certainly my favorite design I've made for sales pages, although Syncnet's probably not gonna use it, I learned a lot of good stuff at work on this one. This is actually not finished, because I was waiting for pictures that were never given to me, which explains the unfinished bottom and not-so-personal feel of the page. I also don't have a logo for the product.
