HDR Panoramics

When I started college back in Spring 2013, I took digital photography.  I learned so much and was excited about each class I attended.  My favorite part of what I learned was the HDR panoramics. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Broadway Bridge - Portland, OR


The Three Sisters - Redmond, OR



Broadway Bridge - Portland, OR


Smith Rock - Redmond, OR






Multnomah Falls - Troutdale, OR

 Summer is the best time to get outdoors and enjoy nature at Multnomah Falls.  I couldn't ask for a better day...the weather was perfect and the lighting helped produced some really nice photographs.  












Photography - Tulip Festival, Woodburn OR

Every year I take a trip to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn, OR around March - April. This is the perfect time when these beautiful tulips start to bloom. I was quite happy to make it in time in to photograph these colorful flowers.  Aren't they Beautiful?

Graphic Design III Projects


Name: Dash
Logo Design: Metal-Type Press Logo
Skills: Adobe Photoshop

This logo design was created for a fictional T-Shirt company named Dash. 




Name: The Quest of Nalliya
Skills: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
Type: Game Board Design

One of my favorite art projects was learning how to use my skills to create a board game. My design inspiration for the characters and game came from Dungeons and Dragons. The premise of the game is for one of the characters to retrieve the Sword from the Mountains of Nalliya to kill the Fire Giant Ulyessis. 

Design Process
I used images from the web including my own art to create the characters, scenes, and textures for the game. To find a box and game board to fit my design, I found an old game from goodwill and carefully used adhesive to attach my designs to the boxes and game board. For the characters, I used medium particle board so they would fit into the stand-up plastic holders.


To find out more about the game, see below for more information.
