My Logo

While thinking about creating my logo I saw a bag with a red star on it and i thought i would some how incorparate that as my logo. While letting creativity just do it's thing I ended up with an orange sun. While still having red star in the back of my head, I decide to name my company after it. A little twist on art perspective.

National Geographic a la Lizzy

The most difficult aspect of this composition was transferring the deer from another image using the magnetic lasso. It was incredibly challenging and satisfying to finally achieve its completion

The Cosmic fish

Again, I mainly used the warp tool to manipulate my type and a handmade gradient for the background. The idea is simply to provoke one's curiousity about just how vast the cosmos might be and how microscopic we become in its exploration

My Covers

Using National Geographic as an inspiration i created covers using my own images . My goal was to try to make this look like a real magazine cover and ad .What do you think?

this is one of my magazine cover. this is my own artwork..no one elses. the magazine name was just for educational purposes. please dont sue me.

The Single Flame of Lizzy

I used mainly the warp tool to manipulate my type, used a handmade gradient for the background, and used gaussian blur to create the soft glow.When I created this piece, I was thinking about how much more powerful a source of light can seem when surrounded by such vast darkness. In the bright sunshine, the beauty and power of a single flame would be diminished if not entirely lost. The greater the darkness, the more vivid is the smallest light.

My tree

Using Y's & I's I created a yin & yang tree. It is composed of many layers of text ,rotated and transformed to create the image you see.

This assignment we tried to portray a typical magazine cover and magazine advertisement. This is for educational purposes.

National Geographic Magazine Cover Layout

I chose this magazine because I love the nature photos this magazine publishes. Using some photo's I have taken in my personal advaentures I recreated a cover of the magazine. In the middle I created an add for a theoretical Yosemite Vacations company.

Magazine Advertisment

this is my ad. have fun reading it.

RollingSTONE EMULATION

YOHAN if he were ever on ROLLING stone.
My Photographs!

Using more of my images , i wanted this to look like the hottest part of a fire. I used multiple layers and layer adjustments to create the image.

I chose a photograph of my own and applied it to a cover I made in Photoshop. I changed the hue and saturation and transformed the image. It is made up of many layers of type and text overlayed on each other to create the image you see.

CD Design

This CD assigment allowed me to take some really stiking pictures of flowers and use them to make the covers and the CD.

This CD cover I made using a few of my own images taken last fall.

absolut vermont

I created the piece in photoshop by using an existing absolut bottle image and rendering a bottle over it by using boxes and circles, bending the pieces, using the gradient tool and then knocking back the opacity. The text was created on separate layers and warped to wrap around the bottle. I kept the medalion and reflection from the original. The mountain and snowboarder are pictures I took and pieced behind the rendered bottle.
