Exquisite Corpse

This is my "Mad-hater Pikachu"which I created for my Exquisite Corpse project. To begin this project we had an in-class assignment where we folded a piece of paper three times. We then drew a random head piece and passed it along. You then received a random piece of paper which was folded so that the head was not visible and drew in a body piece and so followed with the legs.

The types of creations which appeared afterwards were pretty wild and rather hilarious. After narrowing the batch down to the top three pieces through a class wide vote, I decided to create this piece as it seemed to be the most interesting among the bunch. The task was a bit challenging at first, but as I got the hang of the program the illustrating became pretty straight forward. This was a very interesting project as it was purely fun as the creations speak for themselves.

Squash it


I have been playing squash since the age of 10 and have represented my club and country on both local and international levels. Being a some what young sport, Squash is gradually growing around the world. Having been part of the squash community at home in Trinidad for quite some time, I understand that there is a lot of potential for this sport to grow. On of the main problems however, is that proper equipment such as rackets, balls, footwear and clothing is very hard to obtain locally. What Trinidad is missing is a top of the line sports store which imports professional grade squash equipment. "Squash it" will be able to fill a gap in the market and hopefully boost the squash community in Trinidad.

I chose to use a mixture of red, white and black in this logo since these are the national colors of Trinidad ad Tobago. The logo, may come across as a bit childish at first because of the animated "squash ball man", but I was working from the angle of attracting young squash players as they are the future of the sport and new young players will boost the sport.

Caliegramme

For this project I decided to create a lion. It was a very interesting project and the reason I decided to choose the lion as my symbol is because it signifies courage, pride and bravery, three characteristics which i believe are necessary in all areas of life.
