miranda cosgrove

Please accept the fact that she is perfect.

Friday, August 10, 2012

Its been a long time since I've written a post!
My summer has been hectic, and I work all the time, and my outfits are less than stellar, so there hasn't really been much reason for me to post anything.

I have, however, done lots of photography, but not the accepted sort.

In fact, I'd say that the photography I've done tarnishes whatever I've done before.

Ready for it?

COSPLAY

Kids and adults making costumes and dressing up as fictional characters for weekends.

To be completely honest, its probably the most degrading thing ever. Its completely under appreciated, so mostly I feel like I'm wasting my time even doing it. Not only is it under appreciated by other people, but by the people that I take the pictures for, because they're so used to awful photography that even if I take awful pictures, its much better than what they had before.

Anyways, heres a small sample of the pictures I've taken:

GL/TCH2.0

Original Photo By Elvis De Fazio

Video Art

Recently, because of DAZ and inspiration from youtube users like Chriddof, I decided to make nonsensical films.

"Sex, Sex, Sex"

"i"

To render these, I only used the basic OpenGL render.

I haven't posted in an eternity.....
Finals are almost finally over so I can finally live my life again.

Other than classes, I've been doing some 3d work in DAZ3D, and also tested out some glitch art.
Here are my results: (You can read how I did it at the bottom of this post)

Relay For Life designs.

Relay for life, if you didn't already know, is an event run by the American Cancer Society each year to raise money for cancer research! My university is holding a Relay, and I've done lots of graphic design work for it, with all different messages.

Donate towards me!!!

http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?px=26460485&pg=personal&fr_id=41431

One thing I noticed while researching and designing, is that there really isn't any good design for Relay. Not on Behance, DeviantArt, or otherwise. The theme of our event was "Mardi Gras" so that made the design challenge even more difficult. I didn't have to incorporate it into the designs, but I thought it would be good to at least mix up the purple everywhere!
Without further ado:

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately!
I've been overwhelmed with schoolwork and life in general.
Anyways, I thrifted this shirt, and loaned it to 2 different people before actually wearing it myself.
Because it's so large, it makes it a little awkward for me to wear it, and I didn't have anything to cover up the sleeves with, so I just waited until i got something in my wardrobe to match it.
TA DA
I found the faux leather jacket that goes perfectly with it. It seems like an unlikely match- a heavily patterned shirt, and a jacket, but it works!

Also, if anyone is actually reading what I'm writing, I've noticed that pretty much all my looks have the same shoes and the same pants... I don't wear them everyday, I swear!

the incredibly boring and bland world of menswear.

I hate menswear.
In the "menswear blogger" sense I hate menswear.
I hate suede saddle shoes.
Personally I think they are hideous, and going out in 1-2 years, with their peak in 2, and their fall the immediate season after.
I hate that there is absolutely no creativity.
The materials are all the same, its always solid color, but *jazz up the tie* or **bowtie** with a *fancy pattern*
If I wanted to dress like that, I'd be just as bland as every other guy, except I'd be wearing a suit each and every day.
When they go shopping do they look for the most expensive, but equally bland clothes?
I don't understand. I just don't.
Why do menswear bloggers care so much about obscure brands....
.....And not for just for something that looks nice?
I hate menswear.
It lacks creativity.
It lacks fun.
You can't have fashion without having some fun!

graphic design.

Here are the graphic design projects I just completed for my class.
The class I've made known that I despise.
The reasons my designs are circular are because the assignment was to make a patch.

Above is the preliminary test patch, that I made when I was in class, and I wasn't playing Bejeweled.

"process is art"

I disagree, when the situation is the classroom.
Art as a process, and not as a final presentation cannot be taught in the classroom.

Unknowingly, I enrolled myself in such a class.
For this class, I have to go outside, and collect trash, and then scan it into the computer, and make projects out of it.
I have to make a dystopian/utopian landscape out of the objects.
I have ONE object.
Its a lighter.
I found on my way to class.
I need more objects.
OBJECTS with an S.
I'm making this blog post in class.
I'm so bored.
Last class another student was talking about Joey's role in Yu-Gi-OH and how his character did all these terrible things, and how Joey was stupid. He also talked in-depth about Pokémon strategy. I was literally dying.
Get me out of this class.
Help.
S.O.S.

Warning: DO NOT TAKE NEW MEDIA AS A CLASS.

This class makes me too sarcastic.

abercrombie & thrift

This is a guide on how to shop, and some of my best finds and how much I got them for.
Usually I see people on sites like lookbook, or on tumblr, and they say they thrifted and item, I think to myself, "There isn't anywhere around me that sells items like that! All the stores around here are terrible!"

STOP.

There are probably thrift stores or consignment stores where you can find items like I have, and maybe even better! All you have to do is look. One mans trash is another man's treasure. And a lot of thrift stores are considered trash, but once you have a look inside, you'll realize that they have better finds than you think.

I think SOPA ███████████████

Well, for this post I'll make it short but, █████ █████ ██████████ ███████ ████ ██████ ██ ███████████ ██████████████ ███████████████████ ███████ ██████ ███████████████
