Project 1- Fantasy Appliance


 

This is my current progress so far. I have mainly been wanting to just get the shape of the toaster first before I started doing anything fancy. I have started on some of the reflections and shiny parts of the buttons and the metal, which has been tricky because I'm still learning how to use the gradient tool, but I'm getting the hang of it. I have been thinking about what I want to combine my toaster with and I've been leaning towards a building, using the leaver as an elevator, or a diving board, something that springs into the air etc. As for what kind of building, I've been trying to thinking of places that relate to heat/ heating things, so maybe a tanning bed company? Not sure yet, still fleshing things out. But I like where I'm headed. 
I have mainly been trying to work on the reflections of the buttons and metal on my toaster. There is still a lot to do and more to figure out but I'm looking forward to seeing what I come up with.

    Hey Kara,
    Wow, your toaster is looking amazing, it's so smooth and perfect!! I know anything you decide to do will turn out well, you seem to know how to use Illustrator. The idea of the elevator is cool, I prefer it to the diving board. Maybe the building can be a toaster sales building haha.
    Keep up the good work!

Project 2- Destroy the Icon- my iconic image

  Here is my icon :) Darth Vader is an icon to me, because I feel like anyone could recognize his famous breathing and his helmet shape. I chose this particular photo because it is from the legendary "No, I am your father" scene that I feel like almost everyone knows or has at least heard a reference to before. I've known almost my whole life who Darth Vader was, and that he was Luke's father, before I had even watched a single Star Wars movie.

Project 4- Visual Sequential Narrative- Ideas

Image
 So I'm still a little confused as to what exactly I'm going to do for this project, but at the moment I'm thinking I might focus on the process of a drawing. Especially my charcoal drawings, there is a lot that goes into the process and so I think that would be interesting to focus on. The process of my artwork has always been something really intriguing to me, and I love seeing how a piece progresses the more I work on it. That's all I have for right now so hopefully that will lead me somewhere.  Here are some of the photos I'm working with that I've taken.
