Photo Real Vector

IM DONE!

So, for this project we had to take a photo that we shot and vector half of it to look photo real, but leave the other half as the original photo. This took SOOOOOO LONG! About 35 hours over the course of one week. I am pretty happy with it since it impressed the prof, so hopefully that means I got an A.
First pic is the original

the second pic is the version that is half vectored (the final) and the third is just the vectored half without the original pic. Hopefully they show up in that order, but blogger kinda sucks about uploading photos with text so hopefully you can distinguish which is which

light bulb vector

So... vectoring shiny things suck. I did some swapping programs back and forth from Illustrator to photoshop to make this work like the prof wanted it to look (photo real) even though I personally like it before I used the smudge tool to bring the shades together, but here they are

first commissioned work

So, the delta chi fraternity called me up after hearing that I do vector work and wanted me to do their spring 10' rush shirts. Super excited just to have something artsy on my resume. I am not sure what the quote on the back means other than I think it is from the Wu Tang Clan, but hey, work is work.

2 page spreads

So here are the two page spreads that I did for my typo final. I love the Katy Perry one just for the vector. Min Wang was horrible and I redid it so many times just to appease the prof that I never wanted to look at anymore of Min Wang's work or biography.

The best vector i have ever done.

So for my last type project I decided to be an over achiever and VECTOR A HUMAN. I think I am totally crazy, but I am incredibly happy with the result.

Super 77

I never want to look at a super 77 can again. We had to do 24 different initial comps based off of the text of a super 77 can. After many late nights and one all nighter they are finished along with the box that I constructed to store them in. These are all printed out on transparency sheets so pretend that everything that is white is actually clear.

Fonts

So, I haven't posted on this in forever. Just haven't been as motivated to since it stopped being a class requirement. Anyway, taking a typography class (yay!). And what would a type class be without making fonts. These are my two fonts Zephyr and Showy. I spent about 2 weeks on Zephyr and 30 min on Showy, so of course Showy gets the higher grade and the most positive comments... I need to start half assing more I guess.
