Chip Kidd Presentation

I thought that the Chip Kidd presentation was very interesting. It was cool to see how many ideas for each book cover he actually had to make sometimes. The flashing Santa Claus cracked me up too. It was especially interesting to me because I am planning to go into the graphic design major, and it was cool to see some more of the possibilities you have within that career.

Greg Cohen - Burly Beast

This is my friend Greg. A policeman once referred to him as "big and burly". I thought this transformation was appropriate.

Self Portrait Jean Style

Unfortunately the horrifying face is real, and the mustache is fake...

Self Portrait


I wanted to punch Illustrator in the face during this project, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out in the end...except all the colors are wrong on it when I post it!!

Jean Ingres



Jean Ingres lived from August 24, 1780 to January 14, 1867. He died at age 86. Jean was a painter and a drawer, and is mostly known for his portraits, painted and drawn. I am most interested in his drawings. He seems to create great detail in the portraits face, and gradually draws less detail to areas like the body and backround.
