Basketball Player

   

This year I entered again to the Reddit's Secret Santa and I'm trying to create something special for my giftee. I'm a newbie at this so I'll try my best. She is a basket coach so that why she is wearing a uniform. Any suggestion are totally welcome since I'm a beginner. I'll be uploading advances. 

By the way, I created a new Facebook Page so you can add by clicking HERE

Personal Logo

This is my personal logo which includes a M (for Mariela) and V (for Velazquez). I used color blue because this is my favorite color and I really wanted to make it seem like something that represents me.

Practicing

A couple of weeks I bought 4 books of character designing. Right now I'm using this book so when I finish it I'll upload the final results! Wish me luck!

This is what I've done until now! I'm enjoy this a lot and I think is very helpful. Soon I'll be uploading more of this. 

Making Over Red Panda

3D Hydrant with Pictures

To see video (Click here)

This project consisted in taking pictures to an object (pictures in 360) in two different angles (in this case the object of interest is the hydrant) and in a program (Autodesk 123d Catch) convert it to 3D. This was one of the first attempts.

Emma Stone Digital Painting

(still working on the hand)

Right now I'm working with this! I'll be uploading the progress of the project soon. This is the second project which I use digital painting. I hope you like it so far.

Package Project

This project consisted in creating a main brand of toys with two different sub-brands. The main brand is named "surpriz" (Surprise in esperanto language). Little Riddle was created for games for kids in which make them thin and improve their thinking skills such as memory games, puzzles, etc. The word "Little" represents that is for kids and "Riddle" that is something that it will make them think. In the other hand, Plush Pets (as the name says) is for pet plushies for kids. For the project, we need to create a mascot with 3 different poses and also a package which needed to have incorporated the mascot. The first package of is for the company Plush Pets which is a dog house. The idea of making the house is that the box can be re-utilized so it's kind of ecological because the purpose is that kids instead of making an imaginary house they can use it for real. In the back-part of the house it's the information of the mascot and the kid can name it so it can feel more attached to the plushie. In the other box, some elements of the other house are incorporated such as the house and the ball. The package is for a Memory Game Card and the idea is that the dog is running to the cards because time is involved. In the cards are some elements that dogs usually love such as bones and balls so that it is also a reason why the mascot is running.

This project consisted in create from zero a music festival with at least 5 bands. We had to create the logotype, a poster and an animation. The festival I decided to create was based on Indie Pop Music which I named it Defy Gravity Festival. I decided that name because I think this kind of music is kind of magical (something like that) and makes people feel that they can defy gravity. The "invited" bands are: Imagine Dragons, Passion Pit, Bastille, Vampire Weekend, FUN., La Roux, Walk the Moon, MGMT and Foster the People. In the logo is incorporated a silhouette  jumping which tries to transmit that you can fly high and break the barriers of gravity. As a mascot I decided to integrate a Red Panda (Yes is not a Fox) with some elements that might characterize people who like this kind of genre such as the shoes similar to the brand TOMS, the skinny dark jeans and a V-neck with a mustache.

Adventure Time Plushie

This is one of the first drawings I've ever made in my entire life. It is a plushie based on the character Jake of Adventure Time. This was created for drawing class about more than a year ago. 

Portal Calligraphy

Sketch

Final

This project was made for Typography class and consisted in choosing a movie, video game, song, etc. and make a figure with representative phrases of the chosen topic. I decided to work with Portal (a videogame) and do a representative sign of the game with some important elements such as the test subject and the portal. The test subject contains the contract the he/she must sign after being tested. The arrow has an advertisement which says that the test is dangerous and the portal contains the phrase: "Are you ready to start the procedure?".

-------------------------------------------

Este projecto fue hecho para la clase de Tipografia y consistia en escoger una pelicula, videojuego, cancion, etc. y hacer una figura/imagen con frases representativas del tema a escoger. Decidi trabajar con el videojuego llamado Portal y hacer uno de sus elementos representativos con son el sujeto a prueba y el portal. El sujeto a prueba contiene el contrato que tienen que firman antes de ser sometidos a preuba. La flecha contiene un mensaje en el cual avisa sobre la dificultad y el inicio (cuenta regresiva) de la prueba y el portal contiene la frase que dice: "Are you ready to start the procedure?" que traducida significa: "Estas listo para empezar el procedimiento?"

Haro Jewelry

This project consisted in creating a logotype in which the student involucrated his/her name or last name. "Haro" is my second last name so I decided to work with it an apply it to a jewelry shop. The first one is exactly the same as the second, but it just has one color. The second I tried to add the color that represented more a diamond which I consider it is the color blue. It has the shape of a diamond and in the center has an "H" which forms the faces of the diamond.

Sushiotto Re-Make

Original Logo / Logo Original

Remade Logotype #1 / Remake #1

Remade Logotype #2 / Remake #2

Poster

The first logotype (Original) was taken from the facebook of Sushiotto. This project consisted on selecting a place in Mexicali which needed a logotype remake and a poster announcing their product or service. I selected Sushiotto which is a Japanese Restaurant located in Residencias in Mexicali, B.C., Mexico. The Remade Logotype #1 was based on colors based on Japan which are red, white and black. I decided to add to the both remakes an japanese portal because the double T on Sushiotto seems like one. The red circle in the Remade Logotype #1 is based on the japanese flag. The black border is to make it stronger. In the Remade Logotype # 2, I removed the double T and placed the japanese portal. The final image is a poster in which has the information and some "promotions" (this promotions aren't real, I created them for the project... This promotions aren't valid in the restaurant). The image of the sushi was taken and edited by me.

-----------------------------------------------------

El primer logotipo (Original) fue tomado del facebook de Sushiotto. Este proyecto consistio en seleccionar un lugar en Mexicali en donde se necesitara renovar su logotipo y ademas hacerle un poster anunciando su producto o servicio. Seleccione Sushiotto que es un lugar de comida japonesa localizado en Residencias en Mexicali, B.C., Mexico. El Remake #1 fue basado en colores representativos a Japon como lo son el blanco, negro y rojo. En ambos diseños decidi agregar un portal japones ya que la doble T en "Sushiotto" parece uno. El circulo rojo esta basado en la bandera japonesa. El borde negro es para darle mas fuerza a dicho logotipo. En el Remake #2, removi la doble T en y agregue el portal japones que simulan ser estas. La imagen final es un pster en donde se puede ver la informacion del lugar y sus "promociones" (estas promociones no son reales,fueron creadas por mi para el proyecto... no son validas en el restaurtant). La imagen del sushi en el plato fue tomada y edita por mi.

Los videos del humo y de las nubes dueron tomadas del internet (youtube).

-------------------------------------

This project was created for a typography class. I chose the song of Thirty Seconds to Mars - Up in the Air (Huge Fan) and decided to take some of the different aspect that this band handles (clouds, symbols, scenarios used in the Official Video, etc.).
