I do apologize.<br /><br />Which isn't to say I've been inactive in my projects! If you want to keep up with my creative life, I've been uploading small things to my <a href="http://salamiyi.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">tumblr</a> - including photography, sketchbook pages, quick paintings, and gif experiments like this guy:<br />

Since I don't want to be terribly redundant, I've decided to reserve this space for process updates on bigger projects. So stay tuned! There will be some fun stuff coming soon.<br />

You might have been able to guess from the final design that this is a liquor label project.</div>

Being the punny person that I am, I decided to do some word play with the other name for liquor - and came up with something maybe slightly offensive.</div>

So I did a sketch in photoshop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then I decided to ink the leaves by hand because people don't lose their minds by doing that ever, right?</div>

Hey guys, I was feeling drained a few days ago and instead of sleeping it off, I decided to pop a squat and paint a lady digitally. You know, what every sane person would do.<br />
<br />
I revisited it to add a little something extra and thought I would post it.<br />
<br />

Hey guys, it's been a while!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The semester is almost in the final stretch, and I wanted to get the work dump started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This project was for a movie poster redesign project, with a focus on typographical elements. I have to say, this is one of the first projects where I've actually enjoyed playing around with the type!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_%28film%29" target="_blank">Brick</a> is a noir-style murder mystery juxtaposed with suburban life. The film has an involved storyline and many treats for those who relish nifty details and transitions.<br />
If you haven't seen this movie already, I highly recommend it.<br />
<br />
Here are some versions of the poster I found online:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijUJLR_9h1obmPmRi01mOF8C9nEXOtb6njDpjwZqEufEDWlsM60cx63sH4u6McTHDOKjFHincSZxAsLoUGyCEq7oWKIKv8jaj1X9qbQ2gRdgGpGAvVWXRPSJTDYg7zJtL43TsLAp-QTJQ/s1600/posters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijUJLR_9h1obmPmRi01mOF8C9nEXOtb6njDpjwZqEufEDWlsM60cx63sH4u6McTHDOKjFHincSZxAsLoUGyCEq7oWKIKv8jaj1X9qbQ2gRdgGpGAvVWXRPSJTDYg7zJtL43TsLAp-QTJQ/s400/posters.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I started out doodling some thumbnails and type solutions</div>
(gotta love that photobooth quality)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiac4HCsyX7emkzPyPH5Jqrutvcm9DeiHwM-duJ70eoRdoWEhVkwDz6-Xre36MOWSbikWKExsv3YfxXmvKhzu_TIb3NBjEQcb50pdfO85iXaw3cMAINVeRfdppIbMqW0ykdrc58miSt1oQ/s1600/thumbs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiac4HCsyX7emkzPyPH5Jqrutvcm9DeiHwM-duJ70eoRdoWEhVkwDz6-Xre36MOWSbikWKExsv3YfxXmvKhzu_TIb3NBjEQcb50pdfO85iXaw3cMAINVeRfdppIbMqW0ykdrc58miSt1oQ/s320/thumbs.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I looked into some vintage noir posters and loved the drama they built through type and composition<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1y0GGavzTaYiQ2Cd6oKmA5H1FhjWVExDQiCyrdVfql6oZRPgoWC2bwsXK1uldYk0EdRhJrySk2Llg8ec4KAryO9hBQtr-tC2NIfbHaceU-dSdqGODWf2-fXt-toVSqZtsJQ8j5kkv7ZM/s1600/noirposter_d.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1y0GGavzTaYiQ2Cd6oKmA5H1FhjWVExDQiCyrdVfql6oZRPgoWC2bwsXK1uldYk0EdRhJrySk2Llg8ec4KAryO9hBQtr-tC2NIfbHaceU-dSdqGODWf2-fXt-toVSqZtsJQ8j5kkv7ZM/s320/noirposter_d.jpeg" width="207" /></a></div>
which inspired my final composition.<br />
I did a tightened line drawing which incorporated some key elements of the story<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaH8K866sxEserkC9HbfuWCgIn0jPbuwBiCdCVDX_2F3DNfuQf5f30ibd9Sch2MYrWIBEy3n0Wgi1lWs9ro19V628vIavIY59ZpBbpN-dN-p0ycLy857lZ6tlS2rOQcRj6yilGTpMWIgE/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-03-24+at+12.19.20+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaH8K866sxEserkC9HbfuWCgIn0jPbuwBiCdCVDX_2F3DNfuQf5f30ibd9Sch2MYrWIBEy3n0Wgi1lWs9ro19V628vIavIY59ZpBbpN-dN-p0ycLy857lZ6tlS2rOQcRj6yilGTpMWIgE/s320/Screen+Shot+2012-03-24+at+12.19.20+AM.png" width="232" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
and then something <i>magical</i> happened<br />
and I ended up with this:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I didn't want to overload the piece with heavy rendering, especially with the fine linework in the smoke tendrils. Stylistically, I looked toward Tomer Hanuka's colorful graphic distortions in his illustrations and chose to stick with 3 basic values/colors.<br />
<br />
I think it worked out fairly well.<br />

I've recently started sitting in on a portrait painting class.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my second portrait. I spent roughly 3 hours pushing paint around this canvas.</div>

The sheer number of things I have to work on </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and things I want to work on has started to overwhelm me as of late.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And so, as an example of my brilliant decision-making, I've decided to forgo both and do a silly speed painting instead. :<</div>

The reference I used is from the quirky and delightful movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211915/" target="_blank">Amélie</a>, which I watched over valentine's week to distract from my own void of a love life...or any life, really,</div>

AND<br />
I won first place at the 2012 Hagopian Rug Student Design Competition! This year's theme was the revival of the City of Detroit. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of my design before I submitted it, so here is my color study and inspiration statement as consolation. If you do want to see the final refined design, make sure you check out the 5ftx7ft rug that will be hung at the student show in the spring!<br />

<b id="internal-source-marker_0.3762469235807657"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My entry into the 2012 Hagopian Student Rug Design Competition was inspired, in part, by the cracks on the road outside of my Midtown dorm. Detroit put this country on wheels, and the wheels of those Detroit-born cars pounded away at the asphalt of our nation’s roads until fissures began to appear. The worn Detroit roadways are a symbol, and permanent reminder, of the rise and fall of history’s greatest automobile industry. My other point of inspiration comes from the urban agriculture movement. These community gardens, built on abandoned lots, help foster a sense of fraternity within Detroit neighborhoods, and has reinvigorated the spaces with leafy greens and brightly colored fruits and vegetables. One particular leaf, from the distinguishable red-veined green cabbage, held my attention. The wide green leaf almost looks as if it has the spirit of the Detroit’s revival pumping through its veins. My design seeks to join the two sources of inspiration, transforming the smooth vascular design of the cabbage leaf into the jagged formation of cracks that can be seen on any Detroit road, and thus bringing together a sense of the past with our movement into the future.</span></b><br />

sticking to my A Thing A Day project, I present my second thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've always been interested in fashion, but never had an opportunity to create a fashion illustration, per se. So I took this opportunity to do something simple and cute. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Strangely enough, this took a lot longer than the first one, and I might have to limit myself to 1 hour on these from now on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyhooos, enjoy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And keep checking back for more updates!!</div>

Hey guys, we're five weeks into the semester, and I felt the need to post something new here since I haven't in a while.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First off, I wanted to let you guys know that I've bought my very own domain name and I'm currently setting everything up so you can view all my spectacular work on a sleek, chic platform :3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
below is the logo that I designed for my website/business card/life in general, and if you look REALLY HARD, you can spot it somewhere on my in progress <a href="http://limiyi.com/">website.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and in other business, I've gone insane and decided to start posting regularly on this blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
let's call this....A Thing A Day (or ATAD, as we will now call it)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and here's my first thing!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This took me somewhere between a minute and an hour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey guys, here is the first finals work post of many to come.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The final project for my editorial illustration class was to illustrate a cover for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kafka's novella "Metamorphosis". </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After some research into Kafka's life and his motivations, I chose to focus on the family of the story rather than the protagonists' hard-shelled insect body.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
