The idea of superimposing Sauder dean’s profile photograph on a virtual gold coin, adding the custom embossed text and then ordering metallic peeling stickers for the chocolate gifts has proven to be a much more elegant and appalling choice instead of having the face contour embossed in metallic foil, to immitate a gold coin. I’ve inspired myself from one of my older fun projects (see the 2nd gold coin in the image). It is in fact a photograph of two people I took during a professional event. Click to enlarge.
I’ve custom hand-drawn these caricatures for a Japanese Online course. They were meant to describe different physical appearances and actions. These are just some of the visuals designed for the Japanese courses which have won the “Award of Excellence in Education” from Canadian Network of Innovation in Education.
I’ve captured Brandon’s portrait by surprise with an unintended but fortunate shutter speed of 1/320 sec., while returning from a routine photo-shoot with my camera strapped to my body. Luckily the aperture was still at f/1.2, since the manually preset ISO160 would have been much too low for the light conditions. This is not a video by any means. I’ve simply used some graphical elements to make a visual analogy of a video snapshot. You might want to enlarge the photo to see the incredibly shallow dept of field. B.t.w…. well done, Brandon!
Soil Contaminants virtual composition. It might look like a panoramic photograph, which was in fact the exact intent, except that the image you see here was composed in Photoshop by merging and heavily tweaking at least 7 unrelated photographs followed by adding realistic textures and objects (e.g. the puddles of water, the different soil structures, the tractors, the house, the airplane, etc.). This composition along with other graphic design and multimedia creations have won the award for Excellence and Innovation in Graphic Design from CNIE/RCIE.
Since George the dinosaur (Lamberosaurus to be more specific) is so famous already, I have extracted ‘him’ from the museum’s wall (masked out in Photoshop) and came up with this design for an Earth & Ocean Sciences online course. I’ve then put together a course navigation icon set to match the look and feel.
As a Google trained and accredited photographer I’ve had the exciting opportunity to photograph the Pacific Museum of Earth’s tour. Please visit its fantastic collection of rocks and gems and… meet George, the dinosaur. You can also navigate the museum using 3D VR glasses. The set of navigation icons were used in a pilot project using overlays, on top of the virtual tour. Students will be able to learn about specific exhibits in depth, by seeing related documentaries, 3d videos, reading articles, or answer quizzes while virtually visiting the museum. Here’s the direct link to the dinosaur’s location. Copy and paste it into your browser’s address bar and navigate from there by following the arrows with your mouse pointer. You can rotate in any direction in the 360 space: http://goo.gl/maps/5rVNvbACQ132
Virtual Soil Science chosen logo. “From the ground to the web” is the motto. The cute little flower has its petals made of computer mice and it’s spreading wireless data waves out there. I’ve designed this using Adobe Illustrator. It was in fact Prof. Dr. Maja Krzic’s vision which I have helped to materialize. Don’t forget to visit www.soilweb.ca to learn a thing or two about the fascinating soil science. The free soil science online resources project has been a tremendous team effort led by Dr. Krzik which has rightfully won a bunch of awards, including one for Excellence and Innovation in Graphics and Web Design from Canadian Network of Innovation in Education.
Virtual Soil Science – logo idea (II) – a bunch of virtual funny cyber worms with big wondering eyes, coming up from the ground. The design has been used across multiple soil science online venues as well as marketing materials. Designed with Adobe Illustrator. Don’t forget to visit www.soilweb.ca
