Week 4 Blog

Mon ,13/07/2009

Ok, here is my blog for Week 4. Halfway through the semester! 4 Weeks to go and counting until school is done! Hopefully by the end of the semester I will become a little more proficient about this blog thing.

Stage-LayoutsThis is a sketch I did quickly for our Childrens Ministry Leader showing the different types of stages. Procenium, Thrust, and Surround.

Clubhouse-Set-Idea-1This is a clubhouse / tree house design idea for our set.

Set-Design-1This is a very rough sketch of a set that a church in Georgia does for their Kid Stuf program, which we use the curriculam they use. I like it the most because it is compact and visually interesting.

Week 3 Sketches

Sat ,11/07/2009

Ok here are some sketches for week 3. Sorry it took so long for me to upload and update its been insane at work.

Shed-Sketch-PerspectiveThis is a sketch of a shed I built for our Childrens Ministry at Church. Right now I am becoming more involved in designing for the Childrens Ministry, everything from a stage to lights to technical stuff.

This is another quick sketch

Week 2_

So this sketch is primarily how I felt all week. I felt as if my life were nails on a chalkboard. I couldn’t get any time to slow down or even sketch. I work as a pharmacist and so the days are 12 hours 9AM to 9PM with no breaks. Don’t even get a lunch and so if it’s busy that day I don’t get much of anything but work done.

week 2_03Me playing around with some architechture stuff

Week 2_0401This sketch was how I felt as well, depressed that I cant sketch on a whim, I have to force myself to do it just for a grade.

GDS – Week 1

Fri ,19/06/2009

Well, after a CRAZY week (why did I ever think I could handle 4 classes over the summer for 13 credits while working full time? ) I finally am updating my blog. Currently my blog is going to be devoted mostly to my graphic design class sketches and thoughts. After the summer I can get back to posting some of my thoughts but in the mean time I have to post my sketches. Please click on the thumbnail to reach the full sketch.

Wed-Jun-17This was a quick thought for a design for church. Basically the idea was the old ball and chain with the Earth as the ball and the tag line being something to the effect of “Are you feeling chained to the needs of the world? ”

Tue-Jun-1603This was my first sketch, me playing around with some comic book like characters with different expressions.

Tue-Jun-1602This was my sketch of an idea that poped into my head about the thought conveyor belt!

Tue-Jun-1601This was a sketch tryign to illustrate my thought about being chained to the wings of freedom.

Tue-Jun-16This I sketched while thinking about standing at the edge of tomorrow, not knowing what is on the other side.

Fri-Jun-1902This is a sketch of the Stargate, a main set piece from one of my favorite TV shows, Stargate: SG-1.
