A real-life inspired love story that I used as part of my interactive website project. Simple drawings but it took a lot longer than expected. Still, I really enjoyed the outcome :)
Beauty Written In The Stars
A picture I took a while ago while I was doing my photo essay project. I was fooling around with camera settings and was finally able to use âghost-writingâ properly! I used the flashlight on my iPod with a camera exposure of 30 secs to capture this photograph. The writing was the hardest part, but I enjoy the looseness of the letters and how open they are. I want to try to play with this kind of photography more over the summer if I can.Â
Blue Pattern
Another pattern I made just for fun. I used hexagons once again to create a layered look with some depth. I decided to play with various shades of blue to create a nice monotone colour scheme.Â
Hexagon Pattern
For whatever reason, trying to upload patterns is a battle. Every photo export comes out blurry regardless of resolution but I did manage to produce one that seems to work! Since my first pattern did not work as well as I would have liked I decided to redo it and created this gem. I used an analogous colour scheme to create an aesthetically pleasing composition and layered four hexagons on top of one another to create the illusion of stacked boxes. As for deciding on a layout, this hexagon row was the most successful. I think the breathing space in between each shape gives a nice look to the composition and makes it seem more open and welcoming.

Project 1!! This photo essay was done based on the idea of âBeauty Stigmas in Todayâs Society.â This project took me a while to complete, but it was well worth the time and effort. A big thank-you to all my friends who helped me with this, I couldn't have done it without you! It had an important message that needed to be said, and I hope it got through.
Data Visualization
My data visualization project! This project, I admit, was put on the back burner because of rotoscoping. However, I did learn some interesting things about myself while finishing this poster. The biggest learning experience for me was physically seeing how I spent my days, most of which consists of doing homework. I realize that there are many improvements to be made to this poster and I would like to try data visualization again, in a different matter. But for the time being, I enjoy seeing how âbusyâ my life is.Â
My Stop Motion! This was my first time experimenting with stop motion animation and I think it was a success. The first part features white and black circles rippling on the page. The second part uses uneven triangles with a subtle colour texture, which also ripples. Suddenly the triangles and ripples break into an explosion of squares that fly off the page. My last part (and favorite) features a collision of wave-like shapes and an explosion of colour and random abstract shapes that are born from the centre and spread out and across the page. The animation ends with the paper falling apart revealing the white background. My main goal was to try several unexpected changes (mostly in colour, shapes, and unpredictable motion). The only problem I had with this animation was the blue background. I think I will try something else with it, or get rid of it all together.
Rotoscope project! In my opinion, this is my crowning achievement this year. Animation is the industry I REALLY want to go into and so I went all out on this project, as a personal goal. I decided to choose J.K. Rowlingâs Commencement speech at Harvard University about the benefits of failure. This speech resonated with me on a personal level. I wanted to experiment with different styles, hence why each section of the video is different from the next. I admit, this was a challenge and I made it harder that intended, but again, it was a personal goal. Â I am really proud with how this turned out. I hope my message of benefiting from failure and picking yourself up again is clear and evident.
The Name On My Coffee Cup
I finally am able to put this on! This project was due a few weeks ago but itâs never too late to discuss. After reading the article, and going through several ideas and discussions with my peers, I was able to come up with the idea of a name tag and a coffee cup. What I got from the blog post was a sense of frustration and struggle with names. Your name is a part of your identity, and as such it can be somewhat insulting when people mispronounce, or misspell the name. I wanted to communicate the idea of names and the struggle behind them and did so by using a misspelling of his name and a name tag with his proper name. I used a few techniques to help create this piece. The first was using 16-bit colour which created the interesting texture of the wooden table-top. I changed my approach to drawing with this illustration as well. Normally, I would draw something in Photoshop, but I worked with illustratorâs pen tool (which was really frustrating after a while). I also experimented with different styles as well and used a âsketchyâ look (mainly on the shadows on the cup). I used some techniques from last semester (Typography anyone?) to create the type. And lastly, the background was a combination of strokes, variations in colour saturation, and blending.

One Stupid Tweet
Photo Illustration by Andrew B. Myers. Prop stylist: Sonia Rentsch.
After reading the article, this picture stood out the most to me, as it did with many other readers, I imagine. The whole theme I gathered from the article was that someone was being singled-out by society for expressing an inappropriate comment. In my opinion, this is something that happens far more than we let on. Anyway, the world suddenly turned its back against this one woman and she was alone and seemingly segregated from everyone else. One single Twitter comment caused a gigantic uproar and she was cast aside as being a âracistâ bully. This picture represents the idea of being shunned by portraying one bird being ostracized by dozens of others. Itâs ironic that the dark theme of segregation is in stark contrast with the bright colours of this illustration, something I found visually interesting. Personally, I think darker colours would have made the message more powerful, but perhaps the bright colours represent hope for Justine? Justine was more or less able to get her life back together again. Maybe not in the way she had hoped, but it is stable nonetheless. The style is very simple, being that the blue birds represent the Twitter symbol, and also represent people; the single bird is Justine, and every other bird is society reacting to her words. All in all, I think the simplicity of the illustration adds an interesting perspective to this article in that we donât get caught up in the details of the visual. Rather we take the words and match them to the pictures and come up with the themes found within. The simplicity works, because it doesnât take away from the article. On the other hand, the bright colours, in my opinion, distract the reader. I found this article to be very depressing and these colours just donât match that impression.
You Have My Back
For my meaningful object to analyze, I chose my trusty backpack. This bag has been with me for over two years now, and has seen a lot of wear over the years. Â What I find pleasing about this backpack is itâs simple function; a bag is meant to hold items such as textbooks, laptops, lunches, etc. To aid in the organization of these items, my backpack features three main pockets. The first being the biggest pocket, which is used to hold my books and pencils. The second pocket is smaller and houses my water bottle (the water bottle pockets are all ripped and torn) and snacks. The last pocket holds my keys, first aid, etc. The silver band on the front of the pack is reflective, a much needed safety feature if you ask me. There are several clasps which help secure the pack to the wearer as well as foam at the back for comfort. Overall, every stitch, zipper, pocket and everything in between was added with a purpose. Everything has a function, whether it is to hold things, comfort, safety, or convenience. This isnât a glamorous bag with shiny stars or fancy stitching, this is a bag for hiking, or travel. The makers, Obsuforme, knew this.
Aside from the reflective tape, the only colours are red, creamy white, and black. While this bag did come in several colours, I chose this combination; this choice of colour is what makes the bag unique to me as it features my favourite colours. The off-white is in stark contrast with the black, and the red gives the bag an added pop of colour.
As for sustainability, this bag did last me for over two years and considering the bagâs warranty was only for one year, I think it did pretty well. Bags, of course, are not designed to be sustainable. Everything, including technology, has a lifespan, so it shouldnât shock anyone when they need to buy a new backpack. I will say, however, that the company chose their materials quite well, and that the fabric of the bag was fairly tough and sturdy. The zippers are thick, making it easier to close, and less likely to break.
Overall, I would say this was a very well made and well thought out item. Nothing is out of place, out of the ordinary, or unnecessary. This bag lived up to its name, and Iâm sad to see it go.
Pattern
Pattern I did for the journal prompt this week. I had several patterns in mind, and will hopefully get to upload them as independent work as I finished them. In the meantime, this was the one that came out the most successful after many frustrating attempts with sizing. The pattern uses complimentary colours to create a nice contrast and draw your attention. I also used hexagons as my shape and placed them in such a way to resemble a flower.
Steps
So todayâs class was all about being quick, and getting to the core of an idea. I chose to do a piece based on the question, âHow many steps in a day?â I wanted to keep my piece colourful but simple. As you can tell I used shoes, boots, and footprints to portray the idea of wandering.
Flight Risk
Being a frequent flyer myself, this data visualization about fatal commercial passenger plane incidents since 1993 particular drew my interest. I understand that flying is the safest way to travel, however deaths do still happen. Itâs a sad âgraphâ to watch and analyze, but I think it brought home its message. What initially drew my eye to this interactive data source was the colour and design. I really like the simplicity of the graph. Itâs so easy to follow. The circles represent the fatal incidents in these aircrafts. The bigger the circle, the greater the death toll. But thereâs more to it than that. You will notice that some circles are transparent while others are opaque. Opaque means that the cause of the incident is confirmed, while transparency means that the cause is not confirmed. Speaking of causes, you will notice five distinct and bright colours. Each colour is associated to a different cause. Yellow is human error, blue is weather-related, orange is mechanical, red is criminal, and grey is unknown. The colour makes it very easy to understand what happened to the aircraft. And the arrangement of the circles is just in numerical order via the dates in which it happened. You will notice in my screenshot there are two large red circles, these of course being the September 11th hijackings of 2001.  Visually, I think the simple design of this data works extremely well as it gets the message across without complications. I also enjoy the interactivity of this visual. I can select what cause to look at specifically, when the incident happened during the flight (such as mid-air, take-off, or grounded) and even sort which incidents were the deadliest, or the most recent. The data was meant to bring attention to these unfortunate events. The message is clear; air may be the safest to travel, but things happen and people get hurt. Does this visual scare me? To some extent yes, but it was meant to bring awareness. Itâs upsetting to know all these lives are gone. Itâs more upsetting knowing that a good number of these were preventable.Â

Inner Security
For the journal prompt this week I decided to screenshot my "Inner Security" sequence. This has quickly become one of my favorite sequences so far and I really liked how it turned out.Â
As you can see colour is a huge part of this frame/sequence. Instead of doing small bits of colour, I chose to do colour blocking. I wanted to stay true to the colours in the video I shot, so the figure is fairly accurate to what was originally filmed. The background however, was done with complimentary colour schemes in mind, in this case blue and orange. It's obvious that the background colours are muted slightly, and that was done so the figure would pop out more. I wanted there to be a contrast to make each layer pop, but still have some unity within it. As for the square pattern, I wanted something fairly simple and easy on the eyes so not to distract from the animation. I find squares to be fairly comforting with their four even sides and no breaks. The idea of this sequence is security, and squares match that theme. Squares are safe because they are predictable and everywhere. The basic shape of buildings and rooms are square because they are structurally sound.
Other elements of design that I used is space and form. For space, I wanted the figure to be centre as it is the main focus of this sequence. I also wanted some breathing room which is why I didn't overly complicate the background. I find that the squares, while visually interesting, help shape the figure and give it form by creating that colour contrast. I wanted the form of the figure to be natural and flow as smoothly as possible so I kept the form fairly curved with no harsh edges or points.
As I mentioned above, the background and figure are in contrast, something I did on purpose. I wanted the figure to stand out, and I did this by colour contrasting with complimentary colours and sizing. The figure takes up over half of the height of the video size, but only one third of the width. However, even with the difference in vertical and horizontal height, the subject still takes up a significant portion of the the video, once again to bring attention to her. By placing the figure in the centre, I am creating a balance between the left and right sides of the canvas.I wanted the feeling of this composition to be friendly and secure. The bright colours are welcoming, and the equal weight balance on both sides gives off an impression of safety because nothing is off-balance or jarring.
Seasons of Crazy (Photoshop Tennis)
Prompt #5. Photoshop Tennis. The ever-famous A and K duo is back! We sent each other photos of our previous trips and had a blast with editing. As you can tell we got a lot more. . .open with ideas during the process. My theme was the four seasons while Ashlee's was winter. So overall, we weren't that far off from each other. What can I say, great minds think alike. The first few photos were edited purely with colour and opacity. Then some crazy stuff went down and a wild corgi appeared. And then Christmas trees. Then Frozen. And then hats and leaves. Needless to say, we both had a blast. This is certainly something I would be willing to do again.Â
