Eric Hector

Abstract/Description:

This collection of digital art is the truest reflection of myself and the work that I have a passion for. Within these pieces is art that proposes thoughts and evokes emotions that may relate to the viewer’s own life. These pieces take you on a journey that can be seen, digested, comprehended as you will. What you see is a compilation of emotions that transition into differing mindsets, altering the subject and color palette along the way. What starts at a bleak and dreary place, blooms into something more — however what that “more” may be, is up to you.

Abstract/Description:

In my senior capstone project, I explored the complex realm of billboard design. I’ve become familiar with the specialized software that industry pros use to create billboards, such as Illustrator and Photoshop. Considering the need for exact measurements, I have researched the rules required to keep size correct and make sure every design fits perfectly on a billboard’s enormous canvas. I have created eight unique billboards, each designed to promote a range of services or goods, using carefully created new branding. I have explored animation, using animated elements in one of the billboards to demonstrate my imaginative approach.

Ever since I joined Multimedia Communications I’ve been interested in recording and editing audio. For my capstone, I decided to make a podcast.

I knew I didn’t want to do this alone so I reached out into the community and found some hosts. My co-hosts were Larkin Parr, Caleb Easter, Mike (Kisco Falls) and Corey T. We all do three rail O scale and we all met in the O scale community on Instagram.
