R3: "Re-Create, Re-Think, Re-Discover"

The UTEP Union Gallery gladly presents our next gallery exhibit, R3! It's been rather fun, and kinda hard, to create a new logo to represent the exhibit, much like the Dots to Lines exhibition.

Again, I tried keeping it simple, and thanks to Mariana Rivera for all the help!

Earth Week Design

For a week I've been working on a new design for the next exhibit after Dots to Lines exhibit is over. This new exhibit will feature the theme of Earth Week, how artist "re-create, re-think, and re-discover" through their artwork. The exhibit will feature photographs, sculptures, paintings, etc. I can't wait until the exhibit opens!

Dots To Lines...

This is my recent finish (and first!) graphic design work for The University of Texas at El Paso Union Gallery. Dots to Lines is a new exhibit opening on March 25th through April 7th, featuring artworks from the Art Foundation Drawing Classes. I focused mostly on keeping it simple and following the concept of the title...we all start  creating a dot to make a line, and by drawing a line, we create start on creating anything

Poster: 11x17 in.

Software: Adobe Illustrator

Following the poster, I also designed a postcard that were delivered and passed out throughout campus.

This would be my first graphic design project from work, in which I get to decide what to design for the exhibit's posters and postcards! How exciting!!!

Working on Graphic Design

I don't know if I mentioned this before, I'm working on my Graphic Design minor at the University. At the moment, I'm still at beginners classes, but there is lots to learn! This semester, I'm taking the two basic graphic design classes. Graphic Design 1 is basically teaching us how to use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop  how to do vector graphics etc. I've already done the basic assignments, they are not so bad. At the moment, I'm practicing on creating logos by creating vector graphics. So I decided to make my mom a cake logo for her cake decorating title.

First thing first, do a sketch! It's something that I learned in all my art classes, always start with a thumbnail sketch of what I want to create! I talked to my mom, and I asked her how she wanted it, colors, etc. So the sketch its just rough, nothing fancy, just scribbles here and there.

Thee Sketch! A topsy turvy cake with these crazy flowers and roses, and more decoration, etc!

So I scanned the sketch, uploaded it, and put it in illustrator. Now I will use the learned lessons from my class to create this cake! And BAM! This is what I got so far!

Took me about 5-6 hours to do this!

My mom's opinion? She loves it! I guess I could say that my mom is my first client! Yay! But I still have lots more to learn, and I'm eager to know what's next in my class's schedule!

The second Graphic Design class is the all-traditional graphic design. Meaning, we won't be using a computer to create a design, everything will go traditional! I haven't done an official design in this class yet, but when I do, I'll post them up here!
