Bite the bullet-Cody Hall

Bunny (:


post doesn't work like it did on maya :/

CD cover


I don't know. First, I worked on the front book and found a pattern I liked. From there I put in everything that came to mind. I decided to put yellow as the font color for the front because it pops against the dark colors. I really like the chrysanthemums (flowers) I added. It makes it feel complete. However, I feel like my back cover is lacking. I dislike how the font turned out. I like the yellow and pink colors though.

SUCKERPUNCH!!!

Shooting Stars

I decided to do this because Garrett and i were trying to come up with good ideas and it just came up. I enjoyed using the tablet, it was easy and fun for me. I think it turned out well.

CD stuff


Well. I have been feeling lost I guess and completely confused and dazed nowadays. Just day dreaming and not focusing on reality much... So. I guess this kinda reflects of how my mind feels a lot and what I see. It was actually... really easy though.
My pun is Halo with Master Chief with a little halo on top. some of the problems that happen was trying to draw the helmet. some of the colors were a problem but not that much. I used many types of green for most of the helmet some grays and some gold and dark gold for the center and the halo.

Visual Pun Reflection

I decided to create "Hairspray" with actual hair coming out of a spray can. I am pretty happy about the way this project but think that I could have done a better job with the lines in between hair. I like the color scheme and everything else about it though. Using the tablet was very useful for this assignment.

















idk, i mashed up stuff that i liked, and this its baby :O mostly dubstep music, but i like it :D

CD Modern Mix


I made this case to resemble any and all elements that are included in the songs that in chose from many different artists. these artists had many different ways of looking at these songs but this is my way of looking at it.

Kitty Litter Pun :)


I researched some puns on the internet and found the idea for Kitty Litter. Where the cats are "garbage/trash" and have been "littered" on the ground. I really liked using the tablet it brought back "childhood" memories of coloring books, the only difference being that this was on the computer. I would really like to continue to work with the tablet.

Party Swine


CD COVERS!(: Lady Gaga


I made this all Lady Gaga songs because, I love her<3 and she's my inspiration. But, the reason It's so random is because you never know what she's going to do next, from a meat dress to dying her hair yellow she's always unique just like this cover!

Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking has a way of seeing things in different ways.  He understands space like nobody else ever has, he has the ability to unlock the universe's secrets. However, I cant help but wonder if he knew all along that he would end up famous not only for his exceeding mind, but for his failing body.

Pun comic :3

Well this is me and my friend Logan Purdy being idiots. We make up stupid puns all the time so that was my inspration for this comic! :3 And we are always together so the whole "pear" thing works (the pear is whats stuck on my finger) The hair was tough but fun after I figured it out. I need to work on my shading though.

Cd Covers Pike

I couldn't make em the right size so no I dont have physical ones just digital

LG pun

I did this because, when I looked it up on the internet it looked interesting to do. LG stands for life's good and so I changed it to Life's tough and made the happy face turn into a sad face. I really didn't have a specific reason why I chose this. This project was fun and I like being able to use the tablets because, to me they seemed more easier to use than the mouse and keyboard.

Cd Case.


Cd Cover

For the album cover I really wanted to do something that had a reoccuring theme so i chose to have rain and the color red throughout the cd. The day i created it it was rainy out and so this album reflected my mood. I think it turned out really well and im happy with it. The very front is my favorite part. I  really enjoyed this project and its something i might try doing in my spare time.

Brainstorm!

I chose to do the idea because i was trying to think of puns and asked a friend for some ideas, she kept saying "brainstorm" and i took it for the literal meaning but later on i though oh! a brainstorm so without knowing it my friend inspired me to do this one. I enjoyed being able to draw this out then add color on the computer. The tablet was a really cool device to use and was really nice once i got the hang of it.

English Breakfast



I chose to have an "English Breakfast." I started out with the English muffin, but thought that he should have someone to talk to. I chose a cup of tea because that's a very British drink. I gave them the posh English stereotype look and phrases. The tablet was weird at first but once I got the hang of it it was fun. I enjoyed working on this project.

Heart Attack!


This is your heart angry and on drugs

When I made this I wanted to create something that was fairytale like so I chose to use an old black and white image of a building in mexico and a picture of the night sky through tree branches as most of my back ground. To add to my fairytale theme I put some dots of yellow light to look like fairies or something like that. I also used old paper to put my title and songs on mostly because it looked cool but also because I felt it added to my theme.

cd cover and back



the cover was inspired by dark side of the moons album cover and then i added the cassette tapes for a late 80s feel.






The back cover was just kind of based on the front cover i wanted to create a space feel and i added the skulls to create a little more 80's rock feel for the album

Brain Fart Visiual Pun Devin Olson

I decided to do this pun because I thought it was funny. It is also kind of ironic, because I rarely have a brain fart. I am in honors math and advanced classes. So I really never have had brain fart,

Classroom Mission Statement

Today I will push my creativity and visual communication by problem solving, sketching, writing, and reflecting. To achieve this I will explore all mediums, I will try my very best to communicate my concepts and interpret the concepts of others. As I work I will do my hardest to align my process and decisions to the professional world.

Politicks

visual pun

I chose this one because i thought it would be funny. It turned out to be way more tedious than originally antisipated.

CD case


this design for my CD was inspired by my love of fiction and space. So I put them together and this is the result. The Ezio puppet is there because I made this particular disc for a friends birth day, and that particular friend likes Assassins Creed.

My CD cover has a very interesting look to it, lots of colors and i think it turned out good! I chose ten of my favorite songs to put as the playlist and called them "Best of the Best."

Cd album

some of the pichturs i picked was the bear and wolves. The reason is because they are two of my favorite animals mostly the bear. The rest are stuff i put in to look cool.

Visual Pun: The Local Hair Band


I chose to do a Hair Band because at the time I thought it was a great idea. I was bored and had to think of something!
