On Tuesday after making more awesome art, Andrew Tedford asked us to post our four favourite pieces. I’ve made so many that I can’t get it down to four. So I have six!
DMA411: Exercise 1 Magazine Layouts
June 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment
For our only exercise before the final project with Aviva we had to make a double page spread with any article we found interesting. Also we had to come up with our own grid. I chose a two column grid, with a 1/8 inch spacing. As for the article I selected one that I’ve been trying to keep up on about Mac Malware. It’s a little scary that a crimeware kit has been created to allow for Mac botnets.. If you don’t know what a botnet is I highly recommend reading up on it..
Here’s a screenshot of my layout:
While procrastinating earlier today I made some sadMac backgrounds. One with this url “JoeMittler.com” in the background, which I highly recommend 
and one without.. You can add them to your background collection by clicking this link: http://artXed.com/random/sadMac.
DMA455: Butterfly Wine Label

For this second project we had to take the output from the hype framework and incorporate it into a wine label. Finally put the label on a wine bottle made in illustrator or 3ds max.
I did mine in illustrator, chose a Cabernet Sauvignon since most people used Merlot.
Here’s my gallery of pictures throughout the production process:
DMA455: Project001 – Butterfly
May 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment
For this first project we had to use the hype framework and butterflies to generate art. Here’s what I made: http://artXed.com/dma455/hypeFramework/butterflyBgs.
I got the butterfly images from google. Links to all three:
1st Butterfly, 2nd Butterfly, 3rd Butterfly
Ran into some issues as well, flash sort of freaked out and started copying two images I had loaded into the library. After I restarted flash I got a lot of errors when trying to preview the swf.

DMA455: Arizona Jim Backgrounds
May 10, 2011 By 1 Comment
Was playing around with the Hype Framework when I got home. Still trying to figure out how to get an image to display for the swarm section, but I did however get Arizona Jim to follow my cursor .
Then I made some backgrounds! http://artXed.com/arizonaJim_bgs. In various colours, currently they are 1920×1080 only, but if there is a demand I can resize.
UPDATE on May 15th @ 3pm — Arizona Jim Strikes Again! http://wp.ly/lg
UPDATE 2 on May 15th @ 9pm — In leu of LimpBizkit’s new single release titled Shotgun, I made some Backgrounds!! http://wp.ly/lh
