2011-07-27T22:44:00.000-07:00

After watching Captain America this weekend I was inspired and I wanted to create an illustration/design of him. This is the first version of this design and I will add more as I go on.

Dark Knight Poster Re-design by Ricardo

2010-01-29T20:53:00.000-08:00

I an incredibly happy with the way I designed this poster. I few months ago I created this illustration and yesterday I realized that I needed to make a poster out of this illustration that I made of the Joker. I illustrated the Joker in Photoshop using the wacom tablet.

Chad OchoCinco NFL Poster

2010-01-29T20:44:00.000-08:00

Here is the illustration of OchoCinco that I made not too long ago. I re-composed him into a horizontal poster and create a very cool title treatment (or logo) of his name. I am really happy with this one!

Iron Man

2010-01-29T20:39:00.000-08:00

I created this digital illustration in Photoshop. I also used the light on his chest as the letter "O" in Iron Man.

Kobe Bryant

2010-01-15T10:30:00.000-08:00

I'm very happy for the way that this turned out. I painted this portrait of Kobe in photoshop using my wacom tablet. I also want to stress that I use NO FILTERS in my photoshop paintings.

Kate Beckinsale

I was inspired to make a portrait of Kate after watching Van Helsing.

Chad OchoCinco

2010-01-14T11:24:00.000-08:00

I chose to make this design of Chad Ochocinco because he stands out. I think it's very funny that he chose his last name Ocho Cinco that is Spanish for Eight Five and his jersey number is 85. This guy is a character.

JOKER!!!

2010-01-14T10:59:00.000-08:00

I'm a huge Batman fan I wanted to pay homage the Joker. I drew this portrait in Photoshop using the Wacom drawing tablet.

The theme is Classic Latin Rock from 1966-1976 and it features Santana, Malo, and El Chicano. I used photoshop and Illustrator to create this design. I also hand-drew some stuff for this design.

2008-04-25T20:37:00.001-07:00

Brand new theme for my page.

Corvette Brochure

2008-03-15T23:57:00.000-07:00

This is the first two pages inside the Corvette brochure. I took the pictures of the cars and I imported a different background to each of them.

Corvette Brochure

2008-03-15T23:42:00.000-07:00

In my graphic design class I created a brochure for the 2008 Corvette. I actually went to the Chevy dealership by my house to take pictures of the what else...Corvettes! This is how the back and the front cover of the brochure looks like unfolded. I shot this picture of the Corvette and opened it in Adobe Photoshop and I added a red hue/saturation layer on top. All the other graphics were created in Adobe Indesign.

2008-03-08T14:26:00.000-08:00

This is the intro to a two page spread that I designed for my Graphic Design A course in the fall of 2007. I think Christian Bale is a great actor so I decided to make the two page spread on him. It's basically a collage of images of him from different films that he has worked on. I used Adobe Photoshop to do the collage and I also used Adobe Illustrator to create the title treatment and to layout the text.

2007-12-14T16:12:00.000-08:00

In my Illustration class we each took a quote from Benjamin Franklin and made an Illustration out of it. This was a challenging project. This was one of my first projects using the drawing tablet in Adobe Photoshop.

This is a pencil drawing from my sketchbook. It's center fielder Juan Pierre from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Jack and the Beanstalk

2007-12-14T15:44:00.000-08:00

For my Illustration class I created an illustration that represents one frame from the classic tale "Jack and the Beanstalk". In this drawing I thought about the moment when Jack wakes up yawning with his eyes still closed before realizing that a beanstalk grew from the ground outside his house over night. The shadow cast from his window tells us that this is just this beginning of his adventure. I created this illustration in Adobe Photoshop using the drawing tablet (a very good tool!)

My Self Portrait

2007-12-14T14:56:00.001-08:00

This is from my sketchbook that I worked during the fall 2007 semester. About 99% of my sketches are done in pencil.

This is my Tech. Illustration of the Shoe

2007-09-27T00:21:00.001-07:00

In this project from my Illustration class we had to draw this shoe and try to make it look as realistic as possible in Illustrator.

2007-08-23T13:29:00.000-07:00

This is great! I never knew that I could start my own blog where I can make my designs public. Hopefully this will open doors for me in the future in my career of graphic design. This is going to be great for networking with other artists and fellow students.
