I finally discovered how layer masks work ( Read more... )

While a couple of my friends were down in Austin, TX this spring break for SXSW, they recorded some sort of track in their down time that allegedly includes Japanese rap and outrageous lyrics. From what I understand, it started at them sitting around being goofy and ended with a song that Bradley D eventually mixed into gloriousness. There was ( Read more... )

My friend Bradley D asked me to create a cover art for his first mixtape release and I was more than happy to help out. It's probably the biggest thing I've made with the ITaP-SAC banner at a close tie if it ever gets implemented.

It was a difficult project at first. The first version (after the cut) was way too simple and minimal for the hipster ( Read more... )

SB08! One of my goals this year, since like most years I didn't travel anywhere, was to create at least one viable graphic for whatever reason. I'd been toying with the concept of "asdf" on and off for some time now. So after hours of messing around, I came up with this. Trust me, the original was nowhere near what it looks like now. It had more of ( Read more... )

This past week was positively hellacious so today I decided I would finally allot some time to experimenting with PS again. It took me a good three hours to come up with the idea and create it, but this is what I came up with. The relaxation that came with the three hours was well worth it even though now I'm back at square one with the whole time/ ( Read more... )

ITaP-SAC has been developing its Q&A blog since last October and the launch is scheduled to begin shortly after Spring Break. As one half of the marketing team (the other half, Haiyun, has done virtually nothing), I took it upon myself to actually create a graphic for our meeting this past Monday. My idea was unanimously voted the best of the bunch ( Read more... )

I manipulated a photo that my friend sent me in preparation for my bid for front page boxed in Friday's Exponent, but it's still unsure if they'll use it. The paper has screwed me over more times than I can remember even if I spend hours working on something (1 for story, 4 for graphic this time). Anyway, here is your sneak preview.

Under a time crunch and with a few empty days on my hands before going to New York City for New Years this Winter Break, I decided to make my boyfriend a few things. He's one of those hipster types who has more indie inside him than he knows what to do with. All the following patches were completely cut out and sewn by hand.

First, I made a dance ( Read more... )

So 2007 was rather pitiful and the original 90-movie goal had to be lowered to 65, which was still difficult to reach (see compressed dates for the last few entries). This year, I imagine, will be no different--perhaps worse, in fact--but ahead we go! Goal: watch, at bare minimum, 55 films by December 31, 2008.
