Line Drawings.

The creation of Line Art is something else, asI like to think of it as a foreground for the restof my art. Coming into Graphic design class issomething of an experience, as you (At least, Idid) came from nothing and ended up with some-thing amazing. Something special that has somesort of connections between both me and my Art,and my future. As quoted above, Line art is thefoundation of that, and in this rst section I willgo over types of works, the whys and Hows ofthe works, and just the experiences that shouldcome with it;

As exploring the beginnings of my Art would onlylean to the end of the book, where my nalizedInfographic would appear and how it all relatesback to this.

Line Bottles.Exploring the way that one could simply use lines toomanipulate the eye is quite interesting and fun, as thereare quite a lot of things, especially when starting tolearn about the Art (And Science) of creating lines, itquite something else. When its either using as manyfree lines as you could or simply using a certain amountof lines, it helps develop character and understandingof how art works.

Craft: The craft for these pieces were quite simple, us-ing the one-hundred line drawing technique, going upand down vertically as I tried to develop the shape ofbottles, wine bottles, in-fact, of the image at hand.

Concept: The basics concept would have to be that I amtrying to get the image across; that it is a wine bottle,tested and experimented with different color and differ-ent strokes, as well as the ful lling of the page and try -ing to make it not just be a part of the page, and not justlines; make it an object less than an actual lines.

Composition: It was simply made to be appealing to theeye, so that it was more or less made for the person

viewing it to -see- it as a wine bottle, or bottles, and thatthe colors given simply make it much more simpler tounderstand.


4/21

Variations.Using variations is very useful for looking at justhow the strokes you have done can change justby simply changing the type of brush you are us-ing with the program, how ever stroke is differentas long and can change both the visual aspect ofthe pieces as well as the meaning as a whole.


5/21

The Teapot was by far one of the hardest things I haveever dawn while using the One-Hundred Line drawing,as using just one hundred lines too draw somethingso de ned is quite dif cult.

Craft: Using Adobe Illustrator with a tablet and sty-lus was very new to me, and using the different brushsizes and stokes was what was used to create thisteapot.

Concept: It was simply a way I was trying to use to getpeople to understand that I was creating a Teapot, aseasy as I could describe it.

Composition: I tried to make the brush strokes assimple as possible, so that the de nition of a Teapot-could- be easily made out of.

Using what one has learned..

.. And evolving that further!

As you can see, the week or two that had passed withme working at the lines had really given me the abil-ity to play with the lines and depth that the brushescould give me. Using the shading as well as the devel-opment of the lines made me create ACTUAL images.Not just a skeleton of a teapot, now I have a teapotand a ramen bowl, both that were excellent examplesof usage of the One hundred line technique, as wellas a try of shading with the different swatches froman actual object I was looking at.


7/21

More Variations!

Using Variations like the Graphite or Soft line strokesmakes old art work look new, look strange, even. Us-ing these strokes helps look at both the de nitionand the use of the stylus with the tablet when I drewthese. The one on the page prior makes the art sim-ply look interesting, as the art under this text canhelp the viewer (You) look at the different strokes Ihad created in order too actually create the Art. Aninteresting perspective, and something I would rec-ommend when exploring the actual different phasesof creating Art.

Color Paintings.

Moving from lines to actual composition of paint-ing is really a large hurdle to go over, yet it is ahurdle that everyone must go from.

From simple to de ned, from easy to hard, fromquick to... annoyingly long, these paintings (Aswell created as they are) took time, hours of time,and effort beyond imaging to create these. Whilenot the best out there, they are, to me, a founda-tion of something bigger; creations that wouldlead to the future of both my artistic career, andyour own viewing pleasure. Developing differentmethods and understandings of using differentartistic styles as you will see in the next few pag-es, is essential to a persons artistic value.


9/21

Mixed color and cool color Painting.

Using color, especially speci c types of color just for a painting is something else,as it takes what Ive learned from measuring each stroke and making sure it wasexact and on point, too making sure it has some character.

Craft: Using Adobe Illustrator as well as a tablet was used to create this piece ofwork, as well as the swatches in the color tab to make sure I got all different colorsand renditions of shades.

Concept: The idea was simple, create a mixed color painting, one that used both coolshades of blue to give off the cool feeling it should come with, and the hot pink andred and purple too develop the mixing of the two different ideas of hot and cool, sothat the idea would be more pulled to the ower, rather than the outline of the blue.

Composition: Being alluring to the eye was the important thing, as well as trying todrive the eye -to- the ower with its hot colors, and the experimentation coming withit was quite the experience when mixing the two ideas.


10/21

Rendering an image.Looking at an object and simply rendering it into a painting issomething of an interesting process. It goes from sketchingto designing to outlining the colors to nalizing and lling inthe colors itself. Seeing as Watermelon is quite an easy thingtoo render, its kind of why I choose too actually create it.

Craft: Using Abode Illustrator and a tablet too create thispiece, I used a mix of the One hundred line steps as well asthe different swatches form when I did learn from paintingtoo create this piece of Art, as well as an image form Googlethat I took as the image of a watermelon, a sliced watermel-on, in a garden.

Concept: The idea, as you can see, is simply too give theviewer a look at a Watermelon in a garden, as well as a slicedwatermelon. It really has no other reason -but- that, and noother meaning, unless youd personally want too add a spe -ci c meaning to watermelons.

Composition: I tried to make the actual strokes in this pieceof chaotic than normal, since there is simply so much morecolor and so much more too display than rather an aggres-sive push of color to the viewers eye. Especially towards the

red, sliced melon.


11/21

Even more Variations.Adding variations to these pieces of art is much moreof a simpler idea than the line drawings of the portionsbefore; as I simply added these into the piece of artsimply just so I can add an interesting perspective tothe art. When I added it to the Mixed color painting,you could see different strokes that you wouldnt seeotherwise, while if you look at the cool color painting,you can see a more child like chalk-on-the-sidewalksort of view. Both I found very cool and nifty.


12/21

InfographicCreation of a Infographic sounded like one heck of a chal-lenge, one that seemed nearly impossible when I onceheard of it. Create my own pictures? All of them? No copy-ing them from the Internet? It was quite frightful; howev-er, with everything I had learned from the Line drawingsand the paintings, there was no way I cant -not- be pre -pared. I was ready, however, I just didnt know how muchwork was going to be needed, and just how much effort inunderstanding what an Infographic is will be needed.


13/21

Where it all started.What you see here is the rst attempt at using the pen tooltoo create letters; and just how badly I failed at it! However,as stated in the pages prior, it is a step that one must take,a step that is needed. Surprising enough, this is also thestart of how my Infographic, one of my (In my opinion) bestpieces of art that I had created in my time in the ComputerGraphics class. As this laid the foundation of the actual In-fographic, and the idea of the graphic.

There really -is- no Craft, Concept, and Composition, asthis was as simple as creating the Alphabet, and easy aswriting them down.

Level 1 Parallel Universes:

Our Universe is Infinite, sothat means that there haveto be other plants, aninfinite amount of them tobe exact, that have toresemble our own! We onlysee the speed of light, and

just that, so what's thattoo stop us from thinking

that this is more that wecan't see that -Isn't- seeableto us?

This depends on two things:If the Universe really isas infinite as we think it is,or every single event thatcan happen, in the end, willhappen twice over, since welive in an infinite universe,and that universe is boundto repeat, twice over!


Regions of space areinfating continously,therefor, there are spacesgoing past our spectrum ofunderstanding; The speedof light. So, that meansthey are unreachable.

With this, just like in thefirst level, the energy ofthe expanding Universe ismaking an indefinate amountof energy for OTHERuniverses that we can notunderstand nor see. Somethat would be completelydifferent in many ways, orsimply different in aninfinate amount of smaller,less signifigant ways!


In this section of of the paralell Universe idea,

this means that -every- Quantam possibility isa reality. Which means, that ever choice that youhave made in your life, has branched out intoa new universe in which -that- reality did happen.So there are an infinite amount of 'YOUs' in aninfinate amount of universes!

Parallel Universes and You!

Barely achange!

Hm.. Sincewhen wasAsia alldesert?

What happened?!

The First draft: A poster? When I rst created this Infographic, I rsttried too understand -what- I wanted to do.My interest in science and Parallel Universesmade me choose the topic, however, it seemedthat when I rst created it and showed it off, Ihad a few problems; There was far too muchtext, far too little images, and the images -were-small, as well as some objects are simply un-de ned! What are those things next to the ti -tle? And why -is- the title at the bottom of thegraphic? What is simply going on there? It wasall so confusing, and with that, I took myselfback to the drawing bored, literally, too thinkabout how too x it and make it look even bet -ter than ever!


15/21

Starting a new.Looking back at the how my old design was, having onesingle color in the background was simply too hard onthe whole Infographic, as giving it layers was muchmore de ned and better as an explanation. Having itgrow in de nition the lower it went, or the more chaoticit went with the information is a key concept that I wastrying too pull with this Infographic. The dark blue beingthe most intense or hardest information to understand,and the rst, light green being the simplest informationtoo understand.


16/21

Parallel Universes and you!

Stupid, little boxes.

Moving forward into the idea of having layers, I decided thatit was best too add a box behind the text of the Infographictoo make it more even with the whole text. As the text wasgoing to be a single color, yet the background, as well as theimages around it was going to be more de ned and explo -sive. This is why I needed too add these, as my professor putthem, stupid little boxes. These boxes not only give de ni -tion to the actual graphic, it also simply adds foreground forthe text, so it doesnt get interrupted with the actual colorsbehind it.


17/21

Level Two Universe:

Space inflates so much that thereare spectrums of things that wedont understand, might have theenergy too create NEW Universes,an infinate amount to be exact,that are all different in many ways!Some can be signifiant, whileothers can simply be menialthings!


Adding Text and Details.

In this step of creation of the Infographic, I added text that wasneeded for the center one rst, as I wanted to work my way out -ward from the Infographic. The additions of the Earth, whichis probably -the- most de ned out of all of it, was the Earth.Simply using that Earth and changing the color schemes wasthe easiest, however adding the Earth was quite complicated.I used the pen tool, (Yes, what I did on the chicken scratchpage prior) too both sketch out and create the art work of theplanet by itself. The precision I got with the Earth when usingit was quite amazing, as well as the changing of the color ofthe different areas of the planet too give de nition (And Vari -ety) to the Earths that I planned on copying and adding to theInfographic.

Level Two Universe:


Level Three Universe:

An intense theroy that developsaround the idea that ALLQuantum possilbities arerealities, which mean every singlepossibility is a reality; What wouldhave happened if you had anapple instead of cereal this morn-ing?

Level One Universe:

Other Planets like ours must be outthere because our universe isinfinite! Reacurring probabilities ofmultiple earths that are nearlyexactly the same! It also means thatour Universe is so big that everthingcan literally happen twice over!


The last amount of texts.The last amount of text (At least, for the content of theInfographic itself) was the top panel, as it was the sim-plest panel. All I needed to do was add the Earth andthe text that was needed as I de ned it from before Iactually began too work on the Infographic. Not much-besides- that, before I moved on to the nal touchesof the piece of work.

The Barren Asia!

Antfrica?!


The Final Details.And the nal details, which was the Earths above to give direction in theInfographic and the small atoms next to the Earth #3, we have the Info -graphic as a whole. An experience, as it was, and a fun one at that testedmy limits to a whole new level of design. Creating a whole Infographic toinform people is just so dang fun, and is something that I can do over andover again; controlling the viewers eyes, as well as using all that I havelearned in the Graphic Design class that makes me look back at all thework, the Line drawings, the paintings, the chicken scratch, and moving itforward as a whole too create something so interesting just... makes it somuch better and makes it so darn successful as a whole.
