THE 180 PENCIL DRAWING

PERSPECTIVEA study in perspective along with attention to placement, shading, and line weight were essential in creating a 180 degree perspective drawing. The line weight component is essential because of the depth it creates.

UTOPIA CHALK/PASTEL

PLACEMENTThe Utopian world project was designed to test the abilities of perspective, placement, and creativity. This Utopia takes you through a path from the far castle to the gazebo.

LIFE DRAWING CHARCOAL

PROPORTIONSStudies that produce work like this require a lot of attention to anatomy and lighting. Proportions have to be accurate to create a well-developed piece. Some can take as long as 2 minutes like the piece to the far left, or as long as 3 days like the self portrait.

LABYRINTH PEN & PRISMACOLOR

LAYOUTThe Labyrinth tested abilities in perspective while focusing on design. Placement was key to creating a flowing piece. Color was then added to create a book on toned black paper. The challenge was to further expand layout design.

GUARDIAN SCULPTURE/PHOTOSHOP

3D DESIGNThe Guardian called attention to form and a study on texturing. The main goal was to create a realistic material of gold and jade so that when it was photoshopped into a real environment it would look coherent with the scene.

CHARACTER DESIGN 3DS MAX

MODELINGCharacter modeling revolves around the type of personality of the character and how to portray that with appropriate proportions. Using effects to manipulate objects in 3DS Max, the characters develop in both form and personality.

BUNNY TRICKS 3DS MAX

3D ANIMATIONThis 3D animation involved multiple stages of development. Storyboarding, editing, environment design, character modeling, poster design, and animation comprised the steps to develop this short animation.

BUBBLE POP ART ILLUSTRATOR

TYPEFACEWhen designing a typeface a strict set of rules must be set in order to maintain uniformity. Graphs created in Art Illustrator made it possible to develop Bubble Pop with letters that follow the same set of rules and measurements.

GREAT OWL ART ILLUSTRATOR

BRANDINGThe Great Owl Foundation was created to raise awareness and funds for the endangered Great Owl species. The logo, advertising posters, and stationery suite were designed to engage the viewers and attract them to the cause.

Mr. Lawrence

My name is Kaitlyn McGuire and I am writing on behalf of the The Geek Grind Cafe.The

Geek Grind Cafe is a co�ee shop that o�ers fresh gourmet blends along with assisted

studying service with knowledgable tutors. The tutors are divided in di�erent rooms

according to subject to better help those who need speci�c help.

As the owner of The Geek Grind Cafe I am trying to reach out to other businesses to help

promote our shop. We have just begun to pick up business and would appreciate any

extra advertisements.

In order to gain more customers we request if we could pass out �iers and coupons on

the Texas A&M University campus. We would be most grateful if Texas A&M could

would allow us to advertise on campus.

Please contact me at (972) 623-8273 at your soonest convenience. If we don’t hear from

you within a week, we will contact you personally. Thank you for your time and for

considering this request. We look forward to working with you and creating a stronger

community.

Sincerely,

Kaitlyn McGuire

CAFE PR ART ILLUSTRATOR/PHOTOSHOP

AD & WEB DESIGNThe Geek Grind Cafe’s advertising and PR needed something that would grab young adults attention. Using photoshop, my fellow students as models, and a Covergirl-like look, the ads portray the loose humor the cafe has. The web design strives to be vintage and easy to navigate, while giving a college look.

BERKNER BANDOS QUARK

PROGRAMSThe Berkner High School Drill team, the Bandoleras, produced a Spring show with a technological theme “All Systems Go”. Jayroe Litho was asked to design the poster, tickets, and 40-page program for the production. I learned to listen to my customer’s needs and bring their ideas to fulfillment in the product.
