Student Feature: Dot

Today I would like to feature Dot a graphic design student at Palm Beach State College, Lake Worth. He created this work as part of his end of term portfolio. The students created a surreal world. Dot created an environment based on a favorite video game.
The image above is the montage he created for the assignment. Below he includes a sidebar to illustrate all of the components found in the composition.

The bottom image shows how he mocked up a landing page, which included a thumbnail of his game artwork. Well done, Dot. As always, your layout and presentation are top-notch.

Erin Quarantine Postcard

Today I would like to give a shout out to Photoshop student Erin. For her 3D type assignment she created a retro vibe Quarantine postcard. You can buy it at her Reb Bubble store.

It’s a great concept, very timely and proves anything can be made beautiful, even a background of toilet paper. Support a talented designer and buy their art.

Krysta

Today I want to shout out to the very talented Krysta from my Digital Imagery for the Fine Artist class. These pieces are all about line quality. Often you’ll hear artists and designers talk about line and how important it can be to the emotional context of a work of art. May I say Krysta nailed it.

My students are required to keep a sketchbook, so these were initially doodles filling the pages of Krysta’s. She scanned the images into Photoshop and incorporated photographs of textures and colors to create variations. The line is so delicate, and speaking of subtle, check out the faded colored dots. I taught my students how to create image transfers, which give the beautiful faded/aged feel to the colored dots. Miss Krysta, these are such lovely pieces. Please keep up the magnificent work, and keep inspiring all of us around you.

Salute to Ian M.

These pieces were created by Ian, who is enrolled in my Photoshop 2 course here at Palm Beach State, Lake Worth. Each of these pieces is impeccable.

What makes them powerful is the use of scale to alter the way we view things. A shark fine becomes even scarier, and from a cave, a gigantic eyeball stares back at the viewer.

Well done, Ian, keep up the excellent work.
