This is is me just playing with Photoshop. I was practicing how to use a bigger thicker dirtier brush.

This is a movie poster mock up I made for class. We had 1 hour to make a realistic movie poster using either illustrations or photography. I was looking through some stock photos and found these nice lips. I wanted something simple. Doing this, made me rely on the typography and layout of the poster. So, I came out with “the kiss of death.” it’s pretty silly especially since it’s supposed to be a horror movie. People say it looks like the “horror something picture show.” I don’t know what that is. I was born in 89.

I love how double page spreads in magazine are usually designed and laid out. This is my version that I redesigned. It’s pretty much a collage of images that I put together in Photoshop. I want it to look crazy yet organized and legible. I think I was successful. This is the second time i designed a magazine spread.

This is a poster I made advertising the New York Medieval Festival I used to go to once in a while. One of the assignments in class was to design a poster for an event that has or will happen. This was my choice. I had no freaking clue on what to do, as usual. So I asked my friend Atanas for an idea and he mentioned the festival. I went straight to my old sketchbook to check out drawing I have done about knights and armors and decided to do a digital painting of a Night all in Photoshop. Took about 2-3 hours.

This is a digital painting i did in class for class.

Yet another piece I did in Photoshop.  It’s kind of funny actually, where this image of me come in. This is a picture of me I took, sitting in front of the refrigerator. I did that only because there was no other part of the house that had a nice clean wall but the kitchen. So, I positioned my self in front of the fridge. The dog was a beautiful Husky named Nikita that I took. I just thought id be funny to “wear” the dogs head as a helmet. Then I was working on some swirls in Illustrator using some Russian colors and composted everything together in Photoshop. The whole thing still didn’t look that great, so I placed a scanned image of a crumpled paper as a background texture. And that just completed the image.

This is an article based poster or like the front page magazine spread…

In school, we had to do some tutorials, and one of them was to create your own robot all in Illustrator but he had to be holding something in his hand. So, I designed this guy. When class started, I actually forgot to draw something in his hand. I did later in class illustrate a beer mug with foam coming out and stuff. Unfortunately I don’t have that image. I guess I didn’t save a copy for myself but here is the robot himself!
