Creative     So today I decided to an exercise called "My Sandwich". In this exercise, I make a sandwich but the ingredients are different objects that represents who I am. For my sandwich, I decided for my first ingredient I would add a red bull because I have quite a large stock pile of energy however I'm incapable of "running on empty". Next, I'm adding Son Goku from DBZ because I'm a very goofy person and I love anime, DBZ being one of my favorites. Then, I added a microphone because of a late I've been listening to a lot music and singing as well. Finally, I put a gaming controller because I'm love video games. I did like this exercise because I really made me think about myself, and turn my hobbies and personality traits into objects. I learned a lot from this exercise and found it very funny, I will be using it in the future.

      Today, I decided to do an exercise called blind portraits on innovation.net. The instructions were simple: grab a partner and draw each other without looking at paper. So I got with my friend Matthew and we began drawing. We had 5 minutes to draw each other and this is what we drew: My Drawing His Drawing     This assignment was intended to better the coordination of our eyes, brain and hands. I can see the how this skill would apply in this activity seeing as our coordination clearly is terrible. I will have to use this strategy to better my coordination.

Color Pallet

 My Color Pallet 1. Reversal Red; R: 255 G: 0 B: 4. This color along with the next 2 were picked due to the lighting in the cafe. This red would be used to light areas near the kitchen, this being where the most chaos happens. 2. Lapse Blue; R: 0 G: 232 B: 228. This color was picked to light the "cafe" parts of the restaurant for those who are there for the cafe would sit and eat. This light is a very relaxing color so it fits well in these areas. 3. Hollow Purple; R: 200 G: 0 B: 255. I picked this color to light the "dining" part of the restaurant where people can eat as if the cafe were a regular restaurant. This area is near both the kitchen and the cafe area so with this color it would seem as though the areas combined. I picked the rest of these colors because the added to the chill/relaxing feeling I'm going for in this restaurant/cafe.  4. Leafy Green; R: 0 G: 173 B: 26. I picked this color because it reminded me of tea or the Sakura Mochi that Mitsuri lo...

My restaurant

Image
Imagine     For my restaurant, I decided to take a cafe-style restaurant and fuse it with my love for anime. How I'll will do this is by incorporating anime characters into certain positions at the restaurant. For example, Ryomen Sukuna could be the head chef whilst the host, Deku, is greeting the customers at the front door and Tanjiro is taking people's orders. However, there is 2 major problem I see with this restaurant. Firstly, the fact that t he employees playing these characters would have to be able to stay in character, whilst also doing their actual job which may get a little difficult. And Secondly, the new customers who wouldn't understand why the employees are looking and acting weird. To solve both of these problems, I could offer new employees acting lessons to teach them how to play their character and, to solve the problem with new customers, have a sign in the front explaining that the employees are also actors and to take any weird comments with a grain o...

Sketch the possibilities

Image
 Theory stage     These are just a few sketches I had drawn to get an idea of what my logo would look like. I whilst drawing them, I had an idea to combine some of them together to make a new image. With that came tons of new combinations for a potential thumbnail for my restaurant. For example I could combine, the Cherry blossom and Goku or put the straw hat on Tanjiro (the one with red hair) or Yuji (the one with pink hair). Using this strategy, I can make a logo that shows how fun and happy this restaurant is supposed to look.  Cherry Blossom Tree Gojo Kitty Chibi Goku Chibi Yuji Chibi Tanjiro Straw Hat Malevolent Shrine (Top) & Denji as Spatula Man (Bottom)

Project 2 Zoo Project

Image
My Project:     So, for my project I picked the Cincinnati Zoo logo project. Here, I used the actual Cincinnati Zoo logo and revamped it. The icons for each of the areas of the park were very self-explanatory. And for the grand re-opening invitation, I used a leaf background to continue the green theme that the new and old logo had.

Project 1 Poster for the Animal Shelter

Image
 My Poster:      In this assignment, the instructions were to create a poster for the annual masquerade at our local animal shelter on the first Saturday in October. So, after looking at the calendar to find the date for this event and googling near by animal shelters to get a phone number I began brainstorming ideas. Brainstorming Phase:     The first Idea I had was to create a sort of disco ball that illuminated a dark room but after a while I decided to scrap that idea. Then I tried making a dance floor with people and animals seemingly dancing on it, but I ended up not liking the way it looked so I tried a different idea. The next idea  I had was to have a black room full of white tie to simulate people but I didn't fit the aesthetic to well so I scarped that idea too. Finally, the white tie idea, plus the fact that the masquerade is being done by the animal shelter, gave me an new idea being: dog in a tuxedo. The design:     Ok so to exp...

Creative     So today, I decided to do any other creative exercise with my buddy Matthew. We did this exercise in class and I thought it would be funny to do it again with my buddy. In this exercise we are tasked with building the ultimate desk. To sum the instructions, We have to make something the has the same function as a desk, we can add anything we want as long as it functions like a desk, we have 5 minutes and infinite government funding to build this desk. And with that out of the way, we can begin.     Matthew wanted to start with a regular, old desk but, I convinced him we should make the desk donut shaped we had more room. Next, we added anti-gravity hover pads to the table, chair and foot rest instead of legs so they can go basically anywhere. Then we added Hatsune Miku, and gave her the ability to do just about anything, from cooking to flying to shape-shifting. We then added the Chef 3.0, which is a device that can spawn any food item into existence thr...

Tattoo Project

Image
 Brotherhood     For my tattoo project, I decided to design a tattoo based on Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo from Jujutsu Kaisen, specifically the moment in which they teamed up against the disaster class, special grade curse, Hanami. Now, there are a few reasons I chose them in this moment specifically.  Reason 1: Context behind there team up     The ark in which this legendary team up happens, is called the Sister School Exchange Event. During this event, cursed spirits are placed in a large radius around the school and the students of both Kyoto and Tokyo Jujutsu High Schools compete to exorcise all the them. The students are allowed to fight one another but cannot kill each other. As part of there plan to beat the other school, Yuji was assigned to beat or at least stall Todo whilst the rest of the team splits up to exorcise as many curses as possible. However, Kyoto school, who had a secret mission to kill Yuji, split Yuji from the group. Whilst trying to g...
