I want my wordpress portfolio to look professional but to also have a touch of age and femininity.
These are my layout sketches:

I love his style and the chaos involved in his work. Also, his use of symbolism will be helpful in portraying an emotion.

Artist Inspiration #1. Project 2
Audrey Kawasaki, Painter

The women she paints are so beautiful and elegant. Also, she paints of wood panels and lets most of the food grain show through creating an interesting backdrop for her artwork.

Project 1: Postcards

14 Oct

Project 1 incorporated the use of Illustrator to create 4 visually similar postcards. I drew inspiration from my love of nautical themes and ocean conservation. During the creation process I found that using a drawing tablet was a great help. I also learned that ultra complicated images can create lots of trouble while printing. I went through quite the mental breakdown while trying to get my postcards printed. Ultimately I learned that spending tons of money on ink cartridges and doing it yourself if the best way to go.

Jared Connor [Mexican Chocolate Design] is another gig poster designer. He has created works for many bands but my favorites, by far, are for the band The Mars Volta. The collage style is very appealing and it reflects the band extremely well.
