Self Portrait -- DMA204

Well, it's pretty self explainitory, its a self portrait.
I couldn't choose one so i merged my favourites

Audi R8 Website Mock up -- DMA101

For this assignment, we had to create a website mock up for the Audi R8. We had a couple of labs prior to creating this so I had an idea of what i wanted to do.

The first thing I did before I went about 
the mock up was set my dimensions to 1100px by 850px, set my backdrop options and set my basic guides.
 I set these specific guides as the frame to my website, so i know where not to go outside of.

The next thing I did was set my groups up for organization. Without these this project would have been hell.


The groups i had were 
  • Backups - for back up images
  • Main images
  • My sections- for my different headers such as design
  • Navigation
  • and backdrops

 Then I added my main images and added the effects I need.

For the faded look, i went with a simple gradient overlay. Throughout the process, I constantly changed my mind on the main images a few times. Thus the reason it has its own folder.

I then added my navigation and my headers.


I repeated these few steps for my last 2 headers.

I finally added the Legal stuff on the bottom and then i was done.


The final Outcome.

DMA -- 179 Merlock Assignment

For this assignment, a group of students and I had to go Down Town Toronto, and take a bunch of pictures from a list provided by our teacher.
Group Name : The Bad Parents
Group Members:
  • Shalena
  • Rahulan
  • Leah
  • Alyssa
  • Stephanie
  • Alice
  • Natasha
  • And Me!! Tichina
Why are we the bad parents you ask? Weeeeeellllll, we were being productive for most of the day when finally, on our way home.... well... See what happened was... We kinda/sorta left Natasha at the subway platform BY ACCIDENT. We really didn't mean to, I swear! But when we were coming down the escalator, the train was leaving so we all had to run, but by the time we all thought we were all on the train, Natasha didn't make it. So, we decided on calling ourselves the Bad Parents. For the record, we did come off at the next stop to go BACK to Osgood to see if she was still there, but she wasn't. We finally got in contact with her later in the day when we all went seperate ways.
Moving on...

The entire photo collection is posted on my flickr, http://www.flickr.com/photos/tichanonymous/sets/72157627739116795/

Here are some photo's that were either interesting to take or have a back story.
My absolute favourite picture of the day. I found this on the wall of Java. It's just soo CUTE

This one is interesting because in person, looking through the glass the lighting isn't green; it's white, but in the camera it showed green I thought it was strange but cool.

I found this little man in the most odd places. Like here... 

And here...

It turns out, it was for Smoke's Poutinerie

There is a lot more stories where these come from, just check out my Flickr @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/tichanonymous/
