Photography

I took an Introduction to Photography this semester. It was a black and white film class. I learned a lot of new concepts on how to take good pictures.


For the final, we had to create a series of six pictures that were related in some way. I spent weeks trying to decide what I wanted to do. I eventually decided to find new uses for technological junk. I took three pictures of the junk just sitting there going to waste. Then I took the other three of the junk being used.


Here are the pictures I took of floppy disks:

Next semester I am going to take a digital photography class in color as well as a photoshop class. It will be a lot of fun.


Merry Christmas!!

Squisitos Restaurant

For my graphic design class this semester, I had to make a new stationary set based for a company I made up. I chose to create an Italian Restaurant called Squisitos, which is Italian for delicious. Squisitos is casual restaurant with a family friendly atmosphere.

The stationary set includes the following:
  • Letterhead
  • Envelope
  • Business Card

These have been uploaded to the print media section of my portfolio.

Kitty and Puppy Dress Up Games


A lot of people have asked me about my dress up games, so I figured I would give a history of the games for anyone interested.

I originally created the kitty dress up game for my neice who was about 5 at the time. She enjoyed it so much I decided to post it online when I first created my portfolio. I also submitted it to a few dress up game directories. The game got so much traffic, that I decided to created a puppy version. My niece is now 7, and she still enjoys playing both games.

Although I made the graphics simple and bright in order to attract young kids, many adults have enjoyed playing the games as well.

I want to create some new clothing and accessories for both games for Halloween, but since I am taking 17 credits this semester, I may not get them created in time. Don't worry, I will add more accessories when I get the chance!

I also uploaded the poster I made this semester for the Bellon Visiting Author Series.

Kimz Dezignz Portfolio Projects

I created this blog to let people know when I make updates and add new content to my online portfolio. I also intend to write about projects that I am currently working on.

I am taking a graphic design class, and I will post my completed projects in the print media section of my portfolio. I am also trying to track down my projects from my graphic design class from last semester.
