Tree Shadow
By: Craig Rosner The Shadow is the dark side of the World
Analogous For the motif I chose red. Looking at the three images viewers notice that I am wanting to draw peoples eyes to the center. My focus point is the object in the middle and using deep space around it to bring it more forward.

Lady Bug
By: Craig Rosner

Lady Bug is the Love bug of the Insects

For this Design I chose to draw a Ladybug on a leaf surrounded by abstract colors of green to make that the red stand out. The darkest green on the design creates a heart space around the Ladybug creating a emotional and symbolic theme.

TEA POT
By: Craig Rosner

Would You like a Hot Cup of Tea?

This Design was one of my favorite having it be red monochromatic and a tea pot is symbolicly pulls together. The red tea pot ato me seems like it boiling hot and is ready to steam. The techinique used was add value using mini stokes. The background i chose was placing insode a cabinet or box which could make t seem like is a brand new tea pot. When I look at this design it makes me want a cup of hot tea and relax.

Letter Font
By: Craig Rosner

Varsity Spibble
This week we had to create our own type font and be able to use composition, spacing, value, and arrangement. When looking on the type website, I found most interesting the fonts that had value, bubble, and outlines letters. These fonts were Old school, Varsity, Mexican, and Western. Each of these fonts had the same emphasis on value in the lettering but all were different with styles. I wanted to look at the space of the lettering when putting words together by adding the spike on the edge of each letter. The outline of the letter also gives it more depth and contrast with the thick bold letter and the skinny outline.

LINES
By: Craig Rosner

Whenever you start a drawing you put down basic lines to get the general shape. This design does exactly that but what was different then any other piece work I have is that there is no value scale or shading or blending. These simple line drawings have nothing but the outline and a few lines defining the roundness. We had a limit of 100 lines to create the objects. This challenged me to be carefull where I place my lines. Each line was important as it defines the shape and value of the object. This simple drawing is more complicated then one can see. We created this on a pen pad on the computer in Adobe Illustratore.

Straw Coffee
By: Craig Rosner When I look at this drawing I think of straw woven coffee pot. Its a simple line drawing that I could only use 100 lines to build the object. Look closely and you can see where I started by drawing horizantle lines going up making the general shape. I drew four smaller horizantle lines to create the spout, then the cap and the handle. to get the value in the object I drew any vertical lines to suggest its a tall object. The objet is clearly visible just from multiple strokes of line on Adobe Illustrator.

C.B.L Logo 1
By: Craig Rosner Community Based Learning was looking for a logo to respresent there work and community. They gave us all the freedom needed to create our designs but required to have the initials of the center and Saint Xaviers university school Colors. We had to submit three designs that would be able to fit as a icon on a phone or be able to fit on a buildboard. My first design I chose to use the letters ona diagnal reading left to right inside circles. I chose to place three circle overlaping in analogous colors at the top right corner to symbolize community.the overal design is a success and demonstrates C.B.L.

C.B.L Logo 2
By: Craig Rosner
This is my second design for Community Based Learning and this design was more based of the traditional logo of a shield. I took this design a couples steps further by adding in circles and squares to create a whole shape. I do feel like its to complex with all of the shapes. I copied the three circles overlaping symbol but placed in the top left of the design. I do believe it is a successfull design that represents C.B.L.

C.B.L Logo 3
By: Craig Rosner This is my final design for the Commnity Based Learning logo and I chose to look at the learning side of the center by using a book as the base. I placed the letters from left to right on an angle just like you read a book. then thinking about the community and children I chose a hand print the size of a child and an ink splat. The design combines multiple elements of C.B.L which I think truely represents its meaning.

The look all parents do not want to see.

YUM...?
By: Craig Rosner

Ever slave over a dinner and then the moment after you put it on the table your kids look at it with a look of horror or dissinterest? This drawing it the exacte perspective of a boy not wanting to eat what is placed infront of him. I admit as a child I was picky and did not always want to eat what my mother made for dinner. When creating this drawing we used a pen tab on Adobe illustrator. Just like the line drawing we had to add value and shape to this drawing just with lines but we were allowed to use black and white values. This drawing taught me the importance of value and knowing when and where to place them so make the object appear three dimensional.

Soda
By: Craig Rosner This popcan is made up of many strokes of black and white value. We had a limit of 100 prush strokes on Adobe illustrator. For this object I had to make sure I got the values correct as the light hits it and the roundness of it. The bottom and top lip of the object were the challenge getting the values and shadow. This rawing started out just as every other line drawing with horizantle lines going up building the general shape.

Sun Burst Eye

By: Craig Rosner
In my Computer Graphics class we decided to play with video capturing ipad drawing. When you first hear that you already know what your getting yourself into. I could not figure out what to draw on the ipad that would also instruct a person on how to draw something. I did a still life with bottles and a box and that was boring and simple in my eyes. Then I thought why not draw an eyeball. To go about drawing an eyeball so that when other people watch the video they understand the steps was the challenge. I started out with basic line work and getting the general shape of the eye. Then focusing on the white parts of the eye that surrounds the cornea I made sure that the shape was still recognizeable. Once I got to the cornea and the color of they eye I wanted entertainment in the video so the color of the eye my strokes went around in a circle as I got closer to the cornea. The color for the eye is not realistic but artistic and I chose a red, orange and yellow. After placing the color in the eye I focused on the skin and eyelashes aound it. Not deciding to place skin on the whole design and not making a face but instead creating a shape was my plan. The video was a success for me and I hope that the people who do watch it enjoy it.

Himalayas
History: By: Craig Rosner
The Himalayan range is home to the planets highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over a hundred mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia Aconcagua, in the Andes is 6,961 metres (22,838 ft) tall. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of South Asia. Many Himalayan peaks are sacred in both Buddhism and Hinduism. In Hinduism, the Himalayas have been personified as the god Himavat, father of Ganga and Parvati.Several places in the Himalayas are of religious significance in Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Buddhism. A notable example of a religious site is Paro Taktsang, where Padmasambhava is said to have founded Buddhism in Bhutan. A number of Tibetan Buddhist sites are situated in the Himalayas, including the residence of the Dalai Lama. There were over 6,000 monasteries in Tibet.The Tibetan Muslims had their own mosques in Lhasa and Shigatse. This painting was done on Corel painter 12, this is one of the five Grapic Design final paintings I did in a previous class my freshman year. This painting nothing but layers apon layers of digital paint then using a blending brush I smoothed out the strokes. I look at this painting and I think about the Himalayas and how I have always wanted to climb that mountain range. Its a feat that only a handfull of people can say that they have done it.

Wahiba Sands
Desert in Omen History: By: Craig Rosner
The desert was formed during the Quaternary period as a result of the forces of south-west blowing monsoon and the northern shamal trade wind, coming in from the east. Based on the types of dunes found in the area, it is divided into the high, or upper, Wahiba and low Wahiba. The upper area contains mega-ridge sand systems on a northsouth line that are believed to have been formed by monsoon. The dunes of the north, formed at some point after the last regional glaciation, measure up to 100 meters (330 ft) high, with peaks accumulating in the areas just beyond the strongest wind speeds, where declining velocity wind deposited sand. This is my second final design done on corel painter this image was one of the easier to do because sand is monochromatic and all was needed was to paint a base color and then add in details with a blending brush.I have only visited one desert in my life and that wa one in Arizone, the sands there were not mountainess or endless like the Wahiba sands in Omen but one day I plan on walking through a endless desert.

Sea of TreEs
By: Craig Rosner History:
The forest floor consists primarily of volcanic rock and is difficult to penetrate with hard tools such as picks or shovels. There is also a variety of unofficial trails that are used semi-regularly for the annual body hunt done by local volunteers. In recent years, hikers and tourists trekking through Aokigahara have begun to use plastic tape to mark their paths so as to avoid getting lost. Though officials try to remove the tape time and time again, tourists and thrill-seekers inevitably leave more and more litter, and a great deal of it lies scattered throughout the first kilometer of the forest, past the designated trails leading to tourist attractions such as the Ice Cave and Wind Cave. The forest is a popular place for suicides, reportedly the most popular in Japan. Statistics vary, but what is documented is that during the period leading up to 1988, about 100 suicides occurred there every year. In 2003, 105 bodies were found in the forest, exceeding the previous record of 78 in 2002. In recent years, the local government has stopped publicizing the numbers in an attempt to downplay Aokigaharas association with suicide. In 2004, 108 people killed themselves in the forest. In 2010, 247 people attempted suicide in the forest, 54 of whom completed the act.Suicides are said to increase during March, the end of the fiscal year in Japan. As of 2011, the most common means of suicide in the forest were hanging and drug overdoses. The high rate of suicide has led officials to place signs in the forest, in Japanese and English, urging suicidal visitors to seek help and not kill themselves. Annual body searches have been conducted by police, volunteers, and attendant journalists since 1970. This is one of the more difficult painting I did for my graphic design final. This image was full of different shades of blue and dark colors that it made it difficult to determine where one ended and started. This images has multiple layers placed on top of each other then carefully using a blending tool I pulled the layers together making the image whole.

Tobago
Perfect spot for castaways
History: By: Craig Rosner
Tobago is also a popular diving location, since it is the southernmost of the Caribbean islands that have coral communities. Trinidad, which is further south, has no significant coral because of low salinity and high silt content, the result of its position close to the mouth of Venezuelas Orinoco River. Scuba diving on Tobago tends to be centred at Speyside, almost diametrically across the island from the airport. The island has some of the best diving sites in the Caribbean. There are three wrecks located around its shores, but the one usually considered the best is the Maverick Ferry, which used to travel between Trinidad and Tobago. The ferry is 350 feet long and has been sunk in 30 metres/100 feet just off Rocky Point, Mt. Irvine. The top of the wreck is at 15 metres/50 feet. The wreck has an abundance of marine life, including a 4-foot jewfish, a member of the grouper family. The wreck was purposely sunk for divers, and so all the doors and windows were removed. The waters around the island are home to many species of tropical fish, rays, sharks, and turtles. This final painting was done on one of my happier days with using the bright reds, pinks and purples I really wanted to capture the beauty of a sunset. this image reminds me of my time spent in Florida over the summer atching the sunset under the ocean. The atmosphere was so peacefull that I wanted to relive it over and over again.

Atlantic
The Deep Blue
By: Craig Rosner History:
Climate is influenced by the temperatures of the surface waters and water currents as well as winds. Because of the oceans great capacity to store and release heat, maritime climates are more moderate and have less extreme seasonal variations than inland climates. Precipitation can be approximated from coastal weather data and air temperature from water temperatures. The oceans are the major source of the atmospheric moisture that is obtained through evaporation. Climatic zones vary with latitude; the warmest zones stretch across the Atlantic north of the equator. The coldest zones are in high latitudes, with the coldest regions corresponding to the areas covered by sea ice. Ocean currents influence climate by transporting warm and cold waters to other regions. The winds that are cooled or warmed when blowing over these currents influence adjacent land areas. The Gulf Stream and its northern extension towards Europe, the North Atlantic Drift, for example, warms the atmosphere of the British Isles and north-western Europe and influences weather and climate as far south as the northern Mediterranean. The cold water currents contribute to heavy fog off the coast of eastern Canada (the Grand Banks of Newfoundland area) and Africas north-western coast. In general, winds transport moisture and air over land areas. Hurricanes develop in the southern part of the North Atlantic Ocean. More local particular weather examples could be found in examples such as the; Azores High, Benguela Current, Noreaster.

Prairie
Litte House on the Prairie
By: Craig Rosner History: The formation of the North American Prairies started with the upwelling of the Rocky Mountains. The mountains created a rain shadow that killed most of the trees. The parent material of most prairie soil was distributed during the last glacial advance that began about 110,000 years ago. The glaciers expanding southward scraped the landscape, picking up geologic material and leveling the terrain. As the glaciers retreated about 10,000 years ago, it deposited this material in the form of till. Wind based loess deposits also form an important parent material for prairie soils. Tallgrass Prairie evolved over tens of thousands of years with the disturbances of grazing and fire. Native ungulates such as bison, elk, and white-tailed deer, roamed the expansive, diverse, plentiful grassland before European colonization of the Americas. For 10,000-20,000 years native people used fire annually as a tool to assist in hunting, transportation and safety. Evidence of ignition sources of fire in the tallgrass prairie are overwhelmingly human as opposed to lightning.Humans, and grazing animals, were active participants in the process of prairie formation and the establishment of the diversity of graminoid and forbs species. Fire has the effect on prairies of removing trees, clearing dead plant matter, and changing the availability of certain nutrients in the soil from the ash produced. Fire kills the vascular tissue of trees, but not prairie, as up to 75% (depending on the species) of the total plant biomass is below the soil surface and will re-grow from its deep (up to 6 feet) roots. Without disturbance, trees will encroach on a grassland, cast shade, which suppresses the understory. Prairie and widely spaced oak trees evolved to coexist in the oak savanna ecosystem.

C.ART
Craigs. ART By: Craig Rosner
You may be asking why did I place an image of myself with mime makeup on. This image was done in my graphic Design class where we had to take a self- ]portrait an paint on it. I took a picture with me holding a paper with my name on it and to me it seemed like I was trying to tell people who I am. I thought what person out there can not talk but uses gestures and writting to convey a message, a mime. I used two layers to paint this image on photoshop and made myself a mime. to me this image has a deeper meaning because I am an art major I look at this as artists are not noticed because of their face but their art. this image demonstrates how artist create an image for themselves through their artistic style.
