Papercraft Proposal

I would like to make a papercraft of something in motion, likely an animal, probably a dog or a horse or something of that caliber. From all of the papercrafts that I have seen rarely are any land animals seen in motion. The papercraft I am thinking of is probably going to be on a small simple base. I really enjoyed making the papercraft over the weekend- I want mine to be a bit complex, however, I am a bit worried about how much measuring I'm going to have to do... Measuring it all to be extremely tight would be a big detriment to my creativity but we'll see. I might do this and then again I might do something else; maybe I'll just do a generic bust portrait.

Update:

I have decided that I would like to do a Kudu:

It is a majestic creature. The horns are the only part I'm a little worried about, but I think I can pull it off.

So this was my card before break.

Yes, I know I used Trajan.... Won't happen again.

This is my card after break and incomplete

This is something random I did following some obscure photoshop tutorial.

Artist Promotional examples:

This isn't an artist promotional, but it is still great!

From Core77:

"This rogue ad effort for a party store cleverly makes use for those nasty subway grate, passing-train blasts of air. Great tag line: "Surprise Party Specialists," which is perfectly nice until an unsuspecting jittery person suffers a heart attack or, more realistically, until those streamers turn black (we're guessing about 10 minutes in NYC)."

Very cool, very guerilla.

For some reason Real, hardcore artist promotion is hard to find, especially good examples of which but I am finding lots of good product/company promotions like this one:

There's a long love letter that goes with this but It's pretty self-explanatory.

Here's a pretty simple straightforward promotion:

From Swissmiss: 

Today begins Authentic Job’s annual New Year’s Promotion, but this year is different. They’re calling it the Twenty Ten promotion. It works like this: Post a listing between now and January 22 and you’ll receive 20% off your listing. More importantly, 10% of your purchase will be donated to Charity:Water to help bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

Here's a nice business card:

Some more nice B-cards that I would like to take note of:

It's useful but....your cards gonna get thrown away...

These are from Core77 by the way.

These are the final two logos. I think they can both be improved, so I'm planning on reworking them when I have more time. This was a fun project I think.

Loh- Gohs!

A lethargic Art Teacher, not Shane. Shane is not lethargic.

Sorry for the innuendo but: They take you into Outer Space!

Looking at it now the headphones look more like his ears.

Ok, this idea has many alternates I am working through...

It's all text- but I'll add fireworks next to it.

Illustrator wouldn't behave and warp the text around the firework- plus it's maybe a bit too literal, needs work.

You don't really get the sense of "fireworks" in this one, but it needs some work. 

Logos I like.

I used a painting of mine I did in photoshop in order to do the portrait. That's what I did. 

Sorry for not posting any work's in progress! I forgot we were required to.

Here is a "somewhat" in progress design, I am in a debate as to whether to use this as the final or the first picture "above" the final.

So, anyway, That's that. Expect sketches of logos to come soon!

Here is my crime-scene assignment.

Assignment 1: Wish you were here!

This is the final image.

        My original concept for the image was of a miniaturized "me" swining from a rope in the abyss of my room. However, I have evolved from that idea to this concept. If I had continued with that concept however the output may have looked a little bit like this:

     That is pretty fail, but it was an idea and I wanted to stick with the motif of an escaping artist. The foreground, which I refer to as a "Cheeto forest" is actually a picture of my human hair. I used numerous tools to make it seem like I was emerging from the forest: clone stamp tool, polygonal lasso tool, quick selection tool, brush, eraser, blur, etc... Eventually I got to the end result and added some gradient to increase the light and a rope to reach for. 

 

These are the variations.
