KHS Digital Media Arts

So I searched the tag "Adobe Illustrator" on tumblr and found a TON of awesome inspiration. There was cool typography, as well as pieces like this. I love how much detail was put into this, and also the colors used.

Hey!! Who all out there is interested in doing something outside of school that deals with DMA???? Well I am... And I was just offered the perfect opportunity to do so! Jerod Allen, who graduated from KHS last year and is now studying film/editing at CCM, just began a project that deals with rotoscoping. The project is going to be a film that is based off of the poem called St. Mark's. And r otoscoping  is an animation technique in which animators trace over footage, frame by frame, for use in live-action and animated films. Here's the poem: file://localhost/Users/khs-wlevan/Downloads/Saint%20Marks.mp3 Heres a link to a quick tutorial on rotoscoping ☟ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-je9qQUcW8&feature=youtu.be AND HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES: SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON:    ONE OVER THE OTHER: If you have any questions please talk to either Stew LeVan or Mrs. Shields.

Here, friends: a flash animation with a classic audio overlay of children unwrapping a Nintendo 64 for Christmas! I thoroughly enjoy how audio files can be taken out of context and applied to a hilarious concept!

I found this photo and it's using typography which is what were just starting to learn in  dma. I think it's so amazing how many words the artist used, and that they made it a person who I'm pretty sure is Emma Watson.

      This is really great sketchbook inspiration I have constantly been going back to so I thought I would share it. The pictures below are the sketch book of an artist named Alison Worman. She focuses on fiber and book arts with her art and graduated from MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art). To see more of her work click  here

This is a portrait of Jennifer Aniston done through Adobe Illustrator. I like how detailed the hair is in this picture. I only hope to create something as good as this in my self portait that we are working on in DMA 1 right now.

This is a really interesting illustration, I like how they almost didn't finish it. I really also like how they did the reflection in the sunglasses.     

Which one appeals to you?

Resogun for the PS4 has very intensive flashy visuals that are quite stunning

The weather this week is unusual. Especially in December? What are your thoughts?

i found this portrait, and it has a lot to do with what we are doing with our illustrator portraits. i think this is very well done

I really like this light graffiti. The creativity of it just seems endless. Never ceases to amaze me.

Since we're working with vectors in class this week, I figured I'd share this vector image of my favorite Pokémon, Umbreon. (Unfortunately, this picture is in .png format so it has been converted to a raster image. However, you may be able to download the original file by clicking on the picture.)

So, while I was on thanksgiving break, I bought a nintendo 64. I was just sitting around and playing some super smash bros., and I just thought "wow, what a long way video games have come." Years ago when technology was low on the n64, compared to now with the Wii U, there is a huge difference. The graphics are incredible these days compared to the art of generations ago. I think we are getting really close to making video games seem like real life. Here are some examples of graphic comparison  SSB N64 SSB Wii U

To be a Political Cartoonest you have to be creative. I thought this was a unique way to look/talk about forclosures.

The Last Door is an independent episodic point-and-click horror/mystery game. It's fueled by donations, releasing each chapter to people who've donated first, but as of now it is free to play. The game itself is pixel based, and gives the player an experience through ambient noises and music, challenging puzzles, as well as an enthralling story line. The story draws inspiration from authors like H.P. Lovecraft, and Edgar Allan Poe, while still maintaining a very original feel. The game is browser based, and can be found  here . (you need to sign up to play, this is so they can keep track of people who've donated) I highly recommend you try this game, and, if you like, it maybe even support it. If you decide not to try the game, you should at least listen to the  soundtrack , which is equally as impressive as the game, by itself.
