My Sister's House: Progress

My Sister's House has seen incredible progress since our work this summer!

Summer Studio

Please take a look at my sister blog, from ground, up | US[2]. This is digital journal of my experience building Youth Focus, My Sister's House. This is my summer studio and will follow the house through its expected completion in September 2009. A complete background on the house can be found at the iarcurbanstudio blog.

WPA Poster

To navigate through Adobe Illustrator, I produced a WPA poster based off of a picture of a sea turtle. My volunteer work at the Topsail Sea Turtle Hospital inspired my subject selection.

Object of Persuasion

Though a graphic design exploration, my studio was instructed to create an advertisement for a previous design. The table pictured in the above image was my design for A Place to Dine, in which I chose to play with level changes and the concept of spacial hierarchy in dining. I chose to keep my advertisement clean and simple to emphasize the unique relationships of the shapes in my design.

urbanPATHways

From a vintage photo of a woman in the city, I used Adobe Illustrator to essentially animate the photo. I was fascinated by the textures in the original photo, and therefore tried to incorporate them into the edited copy.

Scene of Discourse

Using two assigned words as inspiration, our 2D rendering class was instructed to create a composition that was representative of both words. My compositions are representative of Frustrated Patina.

Pattern Perception

As a first attempt at Photoshop, our 2D rendering class was assigned the challenge of finding a cityscape and breaking it down to create an abstract pattern. I broke an image of Berlin at night into lines and angles, mirrored them, and then fused small images to create a circuit board-like pattern.
