Pattern of Life
For this early project I had problems conveying the idea I had in mind. I wanted to parallel the image of millions of sperm to one egg to the image of galaxies in the solar system. I believe everything in life is cyclical, and looking at the project now I could've created more depth to that idea.

Collage & Book Cover
Here's the logo I did for the book company. It's a fake harlequin romance book publisher. I intended on making it pixelated by drawing each individual square to create the image. Here's the original collage. I was concerned/inspired/disturbed by the growing "sexting" trend among teens, and especially the way celebrity "sexts" are glorified and publicized in entertainment news (especially grown-up Disney stars). Society seems to make a distinction between "child pornography" when it comes to teens sending explicit photos to each other while celebrity nude photography is headlined in the news. I wanted to portray that false glory and fame celebrities receive for having nude photographs of themselves, and I think I could have done that by making the collage look more like stained glass with thick black lines similar to a church's windows. And here is the final book cover.

City of Yes & No
== I was excited to try something new and usable. Looking at the project now, I definitely would've spent more time on details that would've better conveyed the emotions of each city. I would've also tried other materials to have more variety in the collections. ==

Before & After
The only difference from September and now is that I'm more broke and hungry than ever.
