object persuasion

For this assignment, "object persuasion", we had to design a magazine advertisement for the table we designed in "a place to dine". I mimicked the simple, clean cut form of my table through out the composition by using squares and a bold border along the top while keeping the ad looking as less complex as possible.

a place to bathe (research)

Japanese hot springs (onsen)

For the first time, I've decided to research something I was very familiar with. Visiting Japan has become a very frequent ritual for me after my dad moved there; and almost every time I visit, I get to have an amazing experience at the hot springs.

these are some notes I took about the hot springs...

scene of discourse

For this assignment, "scene of discourse", we were given a descriptor word and a mood and were required to use at least three images to portray those two words in one composition. My words were frustration and abstract forms. The color red came to mind when the word frustration was given to me; which is why I decided to incorporate the color. I found an image of a tiger hunting for their prey with a frustrated look on its face. Using those eyes as the main focus of my composition, I layered it with an image with a rough texture and deep colors to portray the mood further. I was very drawn to the forms the tiger had on its face, so I used the red to fill them to emphasize those forms.
