I created a digital insert for 35mm SLRs. I presented my concept with posters fashioned after an old Kodak Photoguide. The logo was inspired by the type found on Kodak Retinas. </p>http://afcbarton.tumblr.com/post/50027230407http://afcbarton.tumblr.com/post/50027230407Thu, 09 May 2013 15:00:56 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e8cf180b061eaa4d406364447af298ce/tumblr_mmdq11PoZT1qmio40o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/879054c95c0d08bb65d85679392e87f8/tumblr_mmdq11PoZT1qmio40o3_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4be32078b756eabba3872b75b0ce1470/tumblr_mmdq11PoZT1qmio40o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/488935fd456a937ec0702cec552ba25b/tumblr_mmdq11PoZT1qmio40o4_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b17bb7105181b248d456f7310aca3349/tumblr_mmdq11PoZT1qmio40o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>My branding project for VCU’s knitting club.

We had to create a box where each side represented a different category of design: Communication, Transportation, Containers, Shelter, Recreation, and Maintenance.  I decided to design six icons for each category. These were then arranged into twelve different compositions of grids. Each side has two compositions printed on semi-transparent vellum. Only icons that pertain to each side’s category line up when the top composition is pulled across the bottom. I used Illustrator and paper and stuff. It’s the size of a kickball. And cutting those circle’s really started to get my goat but I put socks on my hands half way through the night and that made it a lot easier to hold the compass cutter thing. </p>http://afcbarton.tumblr.com/post/49609124605http://afcbarton.tumblr.com/post/49609124605Sat, 04 May 2013 14:05:12 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e7e2d0f57e96e9e2ae64eaea0d3eaffb/tumblr_mgkmh0BMpS1qmio40o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/64979942421b96b344e52957bedda586/tumblr_mgkmh0BMpS1qmio40o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cd7139642c602f776cdfec11c8948c12/tumblr_mgkmh0BMpS1qmio40o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Visual Studies final. 20 x 30 inches.

For the first few assignments in the class we will be using a “stick method” to draw. This is very similar to sight-size painting in which the finish product is the exact same dimensions as the real composition. This assignment included one still life from direct observation and one from complete imagination. Oh, and the piece was drafted in ink after graphite. </p>http://afcbarton.tumblr.com/post/31121805595http://afcbarton.tumblr.com/post/31121805595Sat, 08 Sep 2012 09:59:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9zq1raSIH1qmio40o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9zq1raSIH1qmio40o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9zq1raSIH1qmio40o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Hello All! Thought I’d make an update on my summer painting work. I put most of my painting time into studies after Florence. I did begin a portrait of my sister and will hopefully be finishing it over Thanksgiving or winter break. The features and light need to be defined and refined. </p>http://afcbarton.tumblr.com/post/31064280260http://afcbarton.tumblr.com/post/31064280260Fri, 07 Sep 2012 13:32:13 -0400<a href="http://freelandinflorence.tumblr.com/">Florence</a>: <p>Check out my Florence blog if you get the chance.
