A Creative contest Technological Tee-shirt super shirt


I started out with approximately 8 designs having to chose one to put on a t-shirt. This design is good because it shows "LCI TECH" as the vocal point while some technology is perfecting the T. I believe that the person at the side is not necessary, but it does create more of a theme because it's controlling the cranium machine. I also added the person because I though it looked nice like that.

To get the final result, after I drew my design, I scanned it and placed it in adobe illustrator and outlined the drawing with the pen tool. After I started to put in colour I immediately knew that I was going to have a problem because AI would fill in the entire inside with colour instead of just the boarder. But I fixed that problem by erasing the inside part, then filling in the letters with colour.

I chose the colour green, because I thought that blue,yellow, and pink would be to chill for an upbeat machine like this. Green suits this logo because many futuristic looking technologies are represented in green.
The final verdict is a solid 7.78/10. The result became what I wanted it look like more or less, but I should have had sharper edges to keep more theme in the design. I find that the edges of the outline around the "LCI TECH" were super curvy and chill. However I do enjoy which font I used, the machine in the background, and all the wires attached to the monitor. I believe I've made my point...

Garden Photos

This photo, I took very prematurely seemed like one of the best in all of them. I cropped it so that the first leaf was close enough to the side so that it looks bigger and also so it looks like they're decreasing in size. I believe that is a good effect and makes the viewer look from left to right.
This one ere' has the flower in focus and the ground totally blurred out! One flaw is that the flower is in the middle, but it may resolve it's self because there are in focus flowers to the  left of the middle.
The image to the left here just seems to be so nice looking because everything is so in focus and green! These all may be a very personal preferences' but I like the way the shrubs are diagonal and not taking over the picture, but instead end before the bottom side.
I enjoy this image because the yellow REALLY STANDS OUT from the grass and that ugly messy mess in the back. It helps a lot that they're in focus because it gains to the emphasis. One flaw would be that one flower is getting cut off by the bottom side, it doesn't work too well.
Lastly, the  image you see here looks great because there is three layers of focus: The top with the one part at the top left (out of focus), the middle with the most part of the plant (in focus), and the bottom which needs to be out of focus to create the emphasis effect. One thing that doesn't help is the piece of garbage on the right, because it makes this picture look like a joke.

Honoré Daumier - third class carriage

Third class carriage was created by Honoré Daumier, sometime between the years 1862-1864.






I feel that this image that was charcoaled up has imitationalism because first of all, it represents people. The focus of the painting/fake one is definitely with the peoples faces and their possessions with them. All of that put together creates a little bit of sadness with some pride because their faces don't have a sad look on them. It shows that they are not sad to be poor, but yet looking at the benefits of their lives.

This image has a lack of formalism. Without being copied from another copy of the artwork, it still has some spots where the dark spots are lined up with the lightest of the bunch! This portrays the visual
representation of many pieces of paper making up the final result, and as a result doesn't give of the emotions that the real one does because it looks like a joke.

Lastly, the emotionalism is high with this image when you know what you're looking at. When you can see the people on that train, it looks slightly sad and lonely with a hint of pride with some of the people. You can probably tell that these people are not rich and maybe in fact poor, (When judging from the title it's obvious though.) but they still seem to be relatively happy or neutral instead of being sad and out of luck. Of course when looking at the charcoaled one, just like before it seems like a joke because of the distortions.
