Visual Research #6



This is a design my friend Gerald sent me for my capstone. I am a business major and for my capstone I need to do a business plan for a fake business. For my capstone I am doing a comic book shop. I needed a logo for my "store" and this is the one Gerald sent me. The name of my business is Imagination Unlimited Comics. The logo shows a blend of Imagination, Unlimited, and Comics into a sort of statue like logo. The color is gold and, to me, represents heroes. It would be interested to see how this would work in a store front sort of idea, but for now I really like it.

Visual Research #5




This is another picture that I found on my friends Deviant Art!! First my friend Nicole is AMAZING!!! She is a great person and an awesome artist. This photo is taken in Japan and shows beams of light coming down through a cloudy day. The city below looks huge!!! The mountain takes is being illuminated, in some areas, and the clouds are just awesome.

This is a picture I took during a cold walk downtown. Since this is my last year here at SOU I wanted to take pictures of downtown at night during the holiday season. I think its awesome how shops downtown come together to make downtown look amazing!

Assignment #5



This one is inspired by an online video I saw where this guy made Ryu and Scorpion fight, it was really well made and I felt it needed a movie poster!



Zombies in Space!!! I though of cheesy movies, and somehow I think it would be funny to try to piece this story together!

Visual Research #4



I can openly and fully admit to the fact that I am a terrible artist. Luckily I have friends who are amazing artist, one of them being my friend Gerald. He is currently attending Expressions in Emeryville, Ca to be a graphic designer specifically for video games. This is his drawing of a famous video game character, Chun Li, from Street Fighter. Gerald drew this in photoshop fro scratch, and I believe its very good. Starting from the character, she looks like Chun-Li from the game. She is in a flamed background, but she doesnt look worried. She looks mad, possibly whatever the source of the flame is came from her. The background also transforms into a starry night sky in the upper left corner. the detail in the night sky is amazing, from the stars to the night cloud. Overall this is a great drawing.

This is a pretty cool picture I took myself last year. I remember the day very clearly, it was spring term of last year on my birthday. My ex and I decided to go out and take a day to explore Oregon and take some pictures. We went to Lithia Park and was exploring the river bed. I walked under the bridge and found this little flower laying still on the river, the current just passing by it. The flower, even though it was not on its plant, was full of life and color. I believe I captured its location in the perfect maner.

Assignment #4

Scratch Project:

I found a cool way to make simple backgrounds!!! I think its pretty nifty.




This one was fun, I was gonna make it about the San Diego Chargers, but then I remember I hate that team!
