Humble Abode - Aerial View

Done in Adobe Illustrator. 

The oval in the roof is the oculus, and the little rectangle in it is the impluvium, the decorative pool that collects water. 

The roof to the front of the house is blue. The back of the house is open, no roof, because it's a garden, as you can see with the trees I have in the green area. 

The red in the front of the slanted roof made with shingles. This is the same for the sides of the back. Under those parts of the roof are indeed bedrooms and other rooms to the house that should not be exposed like the garden. 

Humble Abode

I wanted my house to resemble an ancient Roman home.

I think their houses were beautiful, and I find it very interesting that they had a garden in the middle of their house. You can see on the lower picture the garden is labeled, and in the top picture, number 2 represents the garden. 

I would plant some trees in that garden and build my house around the trees, as seen in my floor plan here (aerial view):

The picture (sideview) of my house was showing underneath this one, so I scanned it again and it cast some shadows on the bottom one here, but it's okay. 

Those little puff ball thing in the middle of that square would be my trees. 

For some context, that circle with a rectangle in it looks like a Do Not Enter sign, but the circle itself is called an oculus, and the rectangle in the middle of it is the impluvium. 

The oculus is a circular opening in the roof where rainwater can collect in the impluvium below it, which is in the ground of the atrium of one's house. 

It's fancy Roman decoration, really.

Here is the side view of my house.

I chose to be viewing into my house. 

You can see the impluvium, and the structure is upheld by columns.
This is the front part of my house, so you can't see into the garden/back of the house.

Roman houses didn't have doors. They just pulled down this giant wooden wall to keep people out at night, and then kept it open during the day.

Wordmarks

Typography is really hard.

I wanted to make "methoxyflurane" look wispy and light and free like the wind, but also powerful at the same time. 

Movie Posters - Final

Here are my movie posters, finished with adjustments, edits, and text added.

The title of my movie is Intikam, the Turkish word for "revenge."

NatGeo Thumbnails (Senior Work 2.13 & 2.14, 2014)

My idea for our National Geographic-inspired movie poster is based on an article I read in said NatGeo magazine about a village of people living in the mountains of Georgia, a country close to Turkey. These people, Georgians, are made up of several different ethnicities, but they all share one common land: rocky, cold mountain, separated from society. These Turks are religious, mostly Orthodox Christian, and worship their god, called the khati. They participate in animal sacrifice to the khati, and they eat the meat afterwards, saving the most sacred parts for their god, such as the heart and liver. They consume a lot of rum, ritually by filling hollowed-out ram horns with the liquid and consuming it from that medium, and the village(s) gather for communal meals and prayer. They seem like a peaceful society, except for a rule of thumb they abide by: revenge. For these people, "an eye for an eye" is very important. These people are not barbaric or lacking manners, however; this is just their way of life, and they have done so for hundreds of years, and lived happily.

Based on this idea, though, I WANT to make these people seem more barbaric and evil. The Hostel movies by Eli Roth make the Slavic people look evil and torturous, and Eli Roth even received a lot of criticism because of his movies: the tourist industry in Slovakia and Romania dropped considerably after Hostel came out. That is exactly how I want people to feel about this movie. I want to strike fear and portray the Georgians as religious zealots who sacrifice humans to the khati instead of animals, and take the "eye for an eye" theme a bit further. My movie poster will show this through my collective series of thumbnail ideas coming together into one 11x18 preliminary picture. 

(Note: the first 15 thumbnails were for another idea I had involving the Earth running out of water, based on another article in the NatGeo.)

Preliminary sketches based on thumbnail ideas:

(This is the idea I went with for my poster painting.)
