Here are various graphic images that I created for one
reason or another.
Here is a clip-art image that I designed
for my graduate school technology site. As the picture would
imply, this appeared on the "Home" page. I actually lost points
on that project, because I failed to credit my clip-art. The
grader said that it looked like Microsoft clip-art, which could
be interpretted as a compliment, depending on what you think of
Microsoft clip-art.
This clip-art image I
created for the "Printed Instructional Materials" page. I
decided to make the printer look like an all-in-one printer for
the sake of clarity. Regular inkjet and laserjet printers
lack the obvious distinguishing characteristics that would help
people identify what the image is supposed to be.
This image
was designed for the "Graphic Instructional Material" page of
my graduate school web site project. It's colorful, cute and,
I think, rather imaginative.
As the image
implies, I designed it for the "Multimedia Instructional
Materials" portion of my site. Multimedia is such a broad topic
that I chose to incorporate several images associated with the
concept into the clip-art image.
This image was
designed for the "Information Management" section of the
graduate school web site. In developing this image, I found
myself confronted with exactly the opposite problem of the one
I had with multimedia. "What image clearly represents
information management?" The answer: a filing cabinet.
Since
the content of the "Additional Resources" page consisted of links to
external web sites, it seemed only natural to fall back on that
clichéd image of a computer connecting to the Earth, which is
reconnected to the computer in a cyclical fashion. Still, it's
a nice piece and I'm rather proud of my rendering of Earth. Too
bad the size is detail prohibitive.
For the
graduate school site, I had to design an original image (I
guess the clip-art didn't count). I chose to focus on the arts,
with a computer thrown in to tie technology into the
image.
I've
always loved satire and parody, so the idea for this came to me
naturally. What I like about it is that it looks like a
legitimate product, much like product parodies found in humor
magazines. I wish I had a larger image of it like the item
above.
