Crossing the Finish Line with Photography

Well, I'm FINALLY done with this semester! And what a kick in the pants it has been! So, my final photo project was originally based on songs by Thrice but then I added 2 Jack Johnson songs... definitely a lot of contrast between the 2. For those of you who know Steve-You'll enjoy these pics. Well, here's what I turned in-

Thrice - All That's Left



















Thrice - Artist In The Ambulance



















Thrice - Identity Crisis










Jack Johnson - It's All Understood















Thrice - Melting Point of Wax



















Thrice - The Red Death



















Thrice - See You In the Shallows












Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing




Thrice - So Strange I Remember You



















Thrice - To Awake and Avenge the Dead

Going Out with a Flash!

Wow, the semester is finally coming to an end. At one point I didn't think it would be possible. Well, I just wanted to update my last project for Graphic Interface Design. This flash site was built for my band. It's not exactly how I would like the end product to be... but it's getting there. So, here is the very beginning of this process--what the hell was I thinking?














Then I started boxing stuff up...















But as my teacher pointed out... it was too lame. I needed to break a little out of the box. After all, this is a FLASH site! So, here's what I came up with--much better.














Here's the bios section. Look at Paul with his sweet mohawk--what a bad ass! Not so much anymore... sorry Paul if you're reading this.. Just a note--the plane with the bombs was something I've always wanted to use but could never get it to look good. Well, I've gotten a little better with Photoshop this semester (thanks to my digi photo class) and used some nice blends that made it work with out being too overpowering. I'm pretty happy with the design.














Oh, and here is the dog tag I used to make the buttons. Then I photoshoped the crap out of it.













Anywho, that's it! Feel free to check out the real site at http://fall09-2.graphicinterfacedesign.com/kfenton/flash/chucks_site/chucks_updated.html
