$$$ NCHS T-Shirt Contest $$$

Hello, my name is Lisa Herr and I am heading the NCHS Class of 1986 25th class reunion. I know that the end of the school year is approaching and that the NCHS Class of 2011 is very busy but I was hoping that you could help our reunion with a little project. We would like to have any senior artist submit their idea for a reunion t-shirt for us. Mind you they do not have to be an art student, just a student with a talent for art. We are willing to offer first, second and third place money awards ($50, $100 & $150) for those that submit something to our committee. The only thing that we ask is that it is representative of NCHS and all that it represents, along with it being our 25th reunion. I can be reached at 307-299-6476, lisa_herr@msn.com or lisa.herr@mrcpvf.com .

We appreciate all the help we can get with this project. We just feel that it would be wonderful to have our shirts be created by a future NCHS alumnus.

Thank You,
Lisa

Instructions
You may create these designs in either Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. I would recommend Illustrator myself. The settings for these documents will be:

For Illustrator > select File New > change Document Profile to "Print", size to "Tabloid" and units to "Inches" and hit ok.

For Photoshop > select File New > change Presets to "U.S. Paper", size to "Tabloid" and hit ok.

Note: Make sure that your not dragging and dropping images onto the canvas, but creating new and original artwork! Also be sure to use many different layers. I also suggest starting out with pencil and paper because it's much quicker to brainstorm. These will be due by the end of next week for a grade. The hardest thing for you will to create something that this generation of people will like.

Good luck and win some of those dolla, dolla bills y'all :)

Mr. E

Weekly Goal

I am going to do some basic designs for zazzle until I get some real inspiration to do something awesome in photoshop. I am going to practice with brushes as well.

I finished Loki and added him to the grop. I don't really like ho his Hair came out, but it is good over all.

Hello my friends.

I finished my guitar. It didn't turn out as... Perfect as I expected. But it's good enough!!! I like how it turned out. I'm gonna get a rig and set it up and whatnot!

Final Weel Goals (8th Week)

This week I plan on rendering my project and setting up my folder for the state art show.

Week 8 Reflection-Alanna

This week I finished the house! :D My teammates and I started to import our parts together but Weston still has to add in the spray paint cans and the man, while Brody needs to add the longboard. All in all, my part is complete :) They plan on coming in at lunch and working on it so then we have it all done. I will come in too if I need to. We also have tomorrow at lunch if we need a few more minutes to gather ourselves.

Final weekly goals

I hope to have the color changed on his suit from orange to purple. And I hope to get it from mudbox into maya and on my guy.

Final week

Exporting all objects and putting them in one is complete

weekly refelction

I have almost everything done. I just need to put the final touches to my title screen and render my fish, which i plan on doing at lunch today.

Weekly Progress

This week I've been brainstorming on what to do next. During that time I had to fix the coloring of my piece so it could be printed. It is also getting matted. I think I just need to work without thinking too much.

Final Week Goal

I plan to finish my whole project and turn it in on thursday.

final week goal/ overall reflection

My goal for this last week is to get everything turned in. Even though my goal for the whole project was to get 4 photomontages finished I only did 2 because they both took a lot of time and effort. Overall I'm proud of the work I did on both of them.

Week 8 Goal- Alanna

Now this is the last week for me and my teammates to work on our project. Adding a couple more windows after careful consideration will make my end of the project complete. Then Weston and I can add our additions to Brody's. After that, I believe we are going to win the state art show! :)) Well I hope at least.

Week 7 Reflection-Alanna

This week I thought was the last week to work on our independent projects, but I guess I was wrong. This week though I was able to add in a few windows. One of my windows was being extremely difficult at first but Mr. Elmore helped me work around my problem. I also made some railing for the deck on the house. I think it looks pretty swell.

Week 7 Goal-Alanna

This week I would like to figure out the best placement areas for the rest of the windows. I have been stumped recently but have been trying my best. So I need to place more windows and then I think my teammates and I can assemble the pieces of our puzzle (project) together.

Final week

I hope to have my project finished. I just need to finish coloring his suit.

4/18

This week I am going to come up with ideas for my new project. I am not positive on what I will do so I need to take time to look at samples.

This is more or less my finished piece. Enjoy!

Week 7 Resolution

This week was a bit hectic due to the fact that I ran into some problems while painting my blimp windows in Mudbox. I decided to take my blimp back into Maya and make a PSD map to reapply the skin into Maya. I then decided to make the window faces that were causing problems and turned them into a black transparent phong.
I hope to get this done soon.

The picture on top is what i completed yesterday. I had to think about what details i should and shouldn't put in, but I think it turned out grate.

Completed Independent Project

Here are my three completed images.

I finished them last week, and I now just have to work on getting my portfolio set up.

Weekly goal

This week I hope to finish my piece. I'll be figuring out the background colour, what to do with the swirls and flowers. Also, just other little things to fix up, maybe.

Weekly Goal

I am going to rearrange my piece this week and hopefully have it fully shaded again and not have to go back again because people can't decide if they like it or not when I am actually at a spot when it can be changed. Thank you very much! :(
