Carnival Campaign

I will try to upload the campaign book that was completed for Carnival Cruise Line but the file s HUGE! In the meantime, here are the ads we came up with!

This portfolio serves as a compilation of creative designs, collages, photo alterations and other creations of the creative mind. Utilizing the Photoshop and Illustrator software in Computer Graphics during the summer 2008 session, these creations are all originals made by Bonny V.
Enjoy!

Architectural Illustration

I believe that I spent more time on this last project than any other. The assignment was to recreate an illustration of a piece of architecture. The purpose was to be able to incorporate all the skills that we learned while using illustrator. I chose to illustrate The Louvre in Paris. Instead of choosing a well-known picture of the glass pyramid structure from the outside, I chose a more artistically challenging photo; shot form the inside. The illustration shows a beautiful winding staircase as well as crystal windows through which you can see another building behind it. I paid very close attention to detail and am very pleased with the outcome.

Type Portraits

The type portraits were VERY interesting to me. The technical idea was very easy to comprehend yet extremely difficult and time consuming to execute.

Shape- The shape portrait was the easiest to execute. I used a very recent picture with very defined shapes within it to create this piece. It was the easiest execution for me.

Line- The line portrait is my favorite project to date! I think the finished product not only encapsulated my emotion and expressions perfectly but it is very well defined. Little touches such as the jewelry and the attention to facial details really made this picture.

Value- My least favorite of the three. I had a lot of trouble with this project- as the original picture was very bright in certain places where definition needed to be accented. I was not able to fully grasp the technical ability to execute properly. However I am proud of certain aspects such as the earring details, and the hair and face outlines.

Magazine Cover

Our first assignment, the magazine cover, was a lot of work but was fun nonetheless.  I decided on a magazine that is pre-existent, Sports Illustrated. There are a lot of different elements that I incorporated in this piece. My favorite of which is the Giant helmet that I imposed in the magazine title. I used a lot of authentic colors that I pulled directly from the actual Sports Illustrated magazine layouts. Small touches such as the bar code and the magazine edition really make the magazine pop!

Tattoo Website Interface

The purpose of this assignment was to create a website interface so as to give us experience with web design. The name of the company was Primal Expressions, located in Houston Texas. I decided to use a combined native-‘primal’ theme. The background is an actual tattoo that some one received with the design of the state of Texas. The feature that I particularly like is the rollover effect that is used in the navigation bar. Primal type animals are used to mark the buttons on the bar. 

West End Logo

This assignment was the only exercise in partnering that took place. The purpose of the assignment was to create a business logo for West End Real Estate in Denver Colorado, as well as office stationary. The image of the company is a local, classy, friendly type. Scott, my partner and I decided that we would use the classy aspect and give a simple black and white image for all stationary.
