Passion Pit CD

In my Advanced Design Practice I had to design numerous items for the band Passion Pit, including the 6 panel CD package. The album name that I came up with was "Meat Me in the Canyons". I wanted the theme to be fun so I decided to sculpt out the band members (the best I could) and go from there.  I felt like I had to put a canyon in there somewhere. But I thought that could get a bit repetitive so I also incorporated space to add more interest to it.

Butterfly Greeting Cards

These are my butterfly cards that I made last semester in my Drawing and Media Methods 3 class. We had to design a set of 5 cards using block printing materials. So I choose a theme of butterflies. I came up with 5 different butterflies, drew them, then caved them out of a plastic or wood block with carving tools. I only used black ink when I stamped them on paper. Then I scanned them into the computer and messed with them in photoshop by duplicating, rotating, and coloring them and added the text.

I just won a Bronze Addy Award for these. This is my first real accomplishment in design so far. So I am very happy with the outcome of these cards. I plan on pushing the limits on these a little more to make them better and when I do I will post them on here.

















And here are the actual stamps that I carved out for the cards.
