Beck - Nicotine & Gravy

Project #4: Typography

The video for Nicotine and Gravy by Beck is done using moving type and psychedelic illustration. This may be a good example of how to use typography to convey a message. ( Not that Nicotine and Gravy has any meaning beyond absurdity, but the vibrant color and flash animation is definitely something that grabs your attention and is fun to watch)

What Break?

Fall Break isn't much of a break when you have so much work to do.

Last class was productive, somewhat. I'm learning how to work with illustrator a little better, but I could still use some practice tutorials or something to help me work with my object a little better. If anyone does read this i would like some feed back:

what 3 adjectives come to mind when you think of a compass?

from one of those 3 words what color would you best associate with it?

Thank you all!

Color

After taking the Color career indicator test these were my results for a college degree profession (as listed below). Right now I am not entirely sure what it is that i enjoy, and would enjoy doing as a career. Despite this being a quiz simply based off of colors I find appealing, I found some of the, free, top 26-50 careers that I would be interested in such as
a Public Relations Manager, or a Marketing or Advertising Manager.

Drowning In Headphones And Cough Syrup.

I wish I played an instrument, then spending my entire day in my dorm room wouldn't have been so counter productive, but I guess pencil and paper are essentially the same in terms of a creative outlet. Especially when your sick and loud noises make your head feel like it's going to implode.

As much as I dislike monotonously drawing the same object over and over again, I will admit that I think it has improved my drawing. Sketching has never been my strong suit, but I've always been determined to improve. Today I dabbled in photoshop a little bit and sketched a few things. My only qualm with this class is that I'm basically computer illiterate when it comes to making digital art. I probably have the technological ability of my grandma who is nearing me in weekly hours spent on Facebook. I guess you have to start somewhere.

The Fruit of The Day's Fruitless Labor. (as seen above) Sketched with a #2 graphite pencil scanned, and used blue photo filter in Adobe Photoshop Cs4.
