Concert Poster
For my concert poster, I used the book "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald as inspiration. I used a really classy "Art Deco" theme in order to capture the setting of the 20's. The tower in this picture was hand-created by myself and the background is a live-traced image from the web, as is the little guy down in the corner. I used a specific font that I took from dafont.com in order to give it a more 20's feel and relate a bit more to The Great Gatsby. In the assignment, we had to give an area, date, time, and the people playing. In order to stay relatively close to the setting of Great Gatsby, I used West Egg (Where Gatsby lives) and placed the concert on Long Island which is where the novel is set. The date is July 4th, because it can be assumed that duets by Gatsby and Daisy would be a big enough event for Independence Day.

Emotion Word Design 2
The artwork here has many different elements that make it unique. The "Lazy" word here is made to look like it's leaning against the sides of the frame adding to the sense of laziness. The word "Hungry" gets smaller and smaller, but it gets less opaque and more spread out. This plays on how Hunger gets more intense as time goes by. The assignment was to show our emotion using words, and I feel like I made these two unique through the use of line movement, repetition, and opacity.
My creative process started with typing the word, and creating outlines to convert them to shapes. Then, I proceeded to rearrange the letters in a desirable fashion. For the Hunger design, I didn't convert the type to a shape, but instead I just rotated and flipped the text.

Emotion Word Design 1
First, I started off with the most basic part of the assignment by writing out my feelings on the sheet. I then decided, because feelings waver and linger, to completely disregard my originally chosen words and use the ones that I felt at that instance: "Bored" and "Tired". At the time, I was so tired that I was slouching and nearly falling out of my chair, so I made the words "Tired" as if they were falling. Also, I was kind of moderately bored with school and doing the same thing over and over again, so I repeated the word "Bored" using a type writer font because it touched on the subject of education.
