Teenage Heaven and Hell

Clearly one of the more graphic pieces I've made while at MICA, I really enjoyed doing this one. I kind of put my courtesies aside and let myself do what I wanted, because let's face it, being a teenager is not innocent and not entirely nice, and even if it is, you would call them "glory days" because they don't last very long.

This was my final for my junior illustration class, the assignment being to create 2 images in square format, one of teenage heaven, and one of teenage hell. I decided to make mine into a sort of diptych, but if it was printed in a booklet they would reflect one another. I also decided I wanted to use a color scheme that I never used.

Product Placement

Another illustration for my lifestyles class based around integrating products for an ad illustration. I definitely thought about doing jewelry or some other clothing ad, but found I was generally bored with any ideas I had surrounding these objects. I found a DJ magazine full of hip cool stuff, and used a pair of Original Fake heaphones (originalfake.net), and a high-tech sound mixer called the DN-MC6000 (www.DENONDJ.EU). This was meant to be a horizontal spread, but my class generally agreed that it looked way better turned vertically. I could mess around with the colors in this for weeks if I was allowed the time.
