Cally's art

This was the design i used for a screen print. It was my first time doing screen printing, and it provided many new challenges such as the limited colours allowed, as well as making so it didn't get ruined if the design wasn't aligned perfectly.  for the final product i printed on thick paper, which i believe was water color paper (my teacher didn't tell us) and we folded and ripped 12 sheets which we printed on, we did this in order to give the print a more handmade feel as opposed to cutting it which would look more machine made and less like it was actually printed by hand, which it was.  in total I made 12 prints with the help of Kai Field and we both signed them, and numbered them 1-12 with one being the most accurate to the original design, and 12 being the worst print. each step of the printing process was done by hand, we exposed the screens by using a UV lamp and a b/w transparency print of one of the colours (NOT gray scale, as you can not do gradients us...

This cover was done in collaboration with Kodalev Daniel, he took the photos and i was tasked with using them in order to create a cover for the Portland Jazz festival. he wanted a colour pallette similar to the dave brubeck quartet - time out, so i used that to sample colours to use for my final project this one was done in collaboration with Mia Nelson, for this one i was able to use a colour duotone in order to make it look older, and the pallette was inspired by the 30s and 50s. i wanted to give it that old vintage look turned modern, so i used that old pallette, but the shapes and the rest was inspired more by current contemporary art.

This poster was made for the quarter 2 band concerts, although this poster did not end up being used in the end, i am still really proud of it. this project taught me a lot about using text as a medium that can be used to show movement. Looking back on it i don't like the warp used on the dates, but the way i had used text warping to fit a shape i feel was really good, especially for my first time doing it. 

Colours of unity by Cally Cruikshank shades of violet are used to create a sense of unity in the viewer by unifying every aspect of the design. the colours were chosen specifically to invoke peace and fear into the viewer. everything is evenly spaced and symmetrical to add a balanced yet weighted feel. portraying life's necessary balance of stress and achievement.

This poster that i made was for the winter formal dance at LHS in portland oregon. I tried to avoid the cliche snowflakes in the poster, so instead i used cool colours and a pine tree to imply the winter theme.  edit: this ended up being the final draft of the poster, since they actually wanted a really cheesy poster. they wanted white gold and blue snowflakes, and instead of doing just one tone for each, i used slightly different tones for each snowflake so that it looked natural instead of Just copy and pasted.

This was a poster that I made for Lincoln High School's play She Kills Monsters Written by Qui Nguyen and Directed by Francisco Garcia. It's a play about a famous D&D player who died, and her sister has to go on a quest to get back her soul from the evil Tiamat. The main character Agnes is portrayed above the title box, and she is using magic to make a D20, and on either side of her is two heads of the five headed Tiamat. The heads were drawn by Kai Field, and Agnes was drawn by Maia Clark. and my teacher was Jerod Schmidt
