Highlights from Sunday's Photoshoot

This past Sunday myself and a few friends went back into the woods beside the quarter mile at RIT to shoot for my final Intro to New Media project. The assignment was to create mood/style boards for opening credits to a movie or TV show or really any other cohesive idea, so as you can imagine we're all doing really different things. However for some reason almost all the projects contain a dark aspect to them. Our initial mid-way critique went well and I'm excited to see everyone's final project.

Mechanical Butterfly Layout

My third project for Intro to New Media was to design a 404 error page for whatever kind of website we wanted. I chose a steampunk theme for a personal website. It started out with a pretty simple sketch.

My first draft was well received in the half-way stage. And I was pretty pleased with the direction it was heading.


My final draft looked a lot more refined and actually got a really positive critique from the rest of my class and my professor.


I'm actually expecting a fairly high grade for this project. I'm excited.

A little RED

Part one of my second assignment for New Media is done! It's mostly a composite of stock images from several different sources. This is where I started.


The final image:



Part two is to remix with the same elements. I'm still not sure what direction I want to go in.

With all my HURTS

My first REAL New Media assignment dealt with pairing text with an image. The text is taken from Kaya's "Rose Jail" and the concept is dealing with me as a human doll. I wanted to create something beautiful and also slightly melancholy. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it. (I HIGHLY suggest you full view)



This image was at least 20 hours of hard work.. I painted/overlayed doll ball-joints over my skin, airbrushed everything and manipulated color, etc. My darling friend Tiff shot all the photos in this shoot, lending me her apartment and her time for which I am exceedingly grateful.

The original image is hideous and embarrassing, but it really shows how far I came from the original photo.

My next New Media project revolves around a Little Red Riding Hood theme! I'm simultaneously looking forward to and dreading it.
