ORU Golf Label (Unrealized Solution)

(I should first and foremost mention that the head of the bird is the ORU logo and is very much not my design. I made this as a potential extension to the existing logo.) Here is a label that I submitted as a part of a design team in my Graphic Design Studio class for the ORU Golf Team. I am much more confident in my traditional illustrative techniques when it comes to somewhat organic forms such as these, so I hand drew the label, using the Fibonacci sequence as my guide for uniformity, and finished the label on the computer. My solution wasnā€™t chosen by the clients, and we expounded on one of my colleagueā€™s.

Droplets of Amsterdam – Inspiration Art Piece

In this project, I was given the task of seeking out an inspirational piece of historical art to model my own art piece after. I chose an obscure ink drawing by Rembrandt, which was one of many in a series of sketches of Amsterdam and other Nederland landscapes and architectural fortifications known simply as “The New Town-Hall in Amsterdam”. It depicts a new building recently installed in the center of the large open area, now removed. Amsterdam is often cloudy and precipitating, so I decided to be accurate in my piece. I used half ink for the droplets, indicating the past that Rembrandt saw, and half paint, indicating the lively present.

Truncated Icosahedron – Paper Cutting 3D Art Piece

In 2D, I cut 20 equally-sized white hexagons and 10 equally-sized black pentagons. Then I assembled them in two semi-spheres, or bowls, and pieced them together.
