David Suzuki Foundation uncovered many toxic chemicals in your everyday cosmetic products, but narrowed it down to The Dirty Dozen we should avoid.

My submission for the Vancouver International Auto Show. My only real experience driving (without my mom) was doing burnouts and donuts in parking lots in Kelowna.

The project was about creating awareness through a three piece series about your assigned illness/condition. The series is to include a poster, an information piece, and a portable display for trade shows. My objective was to create awareness that anxiety disorder is a very real illness, that not only can hinder your life, but can be treated.

The article is about the general fitness activities you can do here on campus. The tone of the article is pretty mellow, by someone who isn't a big athlete or exercise enthusiast...well I got the impression he didn't really like exercise at all.

The class wrote a story one line at a time then drew to see who would illustrate which line. It was a cool assignment in that whoever wrote the line had to art direct the person who was to illustrate it. Not only did we have to produce another person's idea, but we had to do it the way they envisioned it...and Samanthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03683678443951160263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166163853764767131.post-47250062305400297642010-09-13T23:04:00.000-07:002010-09-13T23:15:42.228-07:00Oh HunterMy second year here at IDEA has begun full force now. I've been spending a lot of time playing around in CS5 and experimenting with the different tools, techniques....really trying to get a sense of what I can accomplish with them. Anyways, here's some of the practice I was doing with photos of Hunter (my handsome little pittie). Enjoy!

I had made this at the beginning of the summer as a surprise for my friend (Angie) who is living over in China. I never posted before because I had wanted her to be the first to see it....buuuuut it appears to have disappeared into the abyss of China's postal system. So here it is for everyone to behold...and maybe it'll turn up somewhere, some day.

2 minute scribbling to get the composition and idea out into my sketchbook.
