For creators, for future designers, for everyday ordinary people. For people who wish to do something more for the world. It's designing, for a better cause. To join and interact with people who have common interests and goals. With our designs, we wish to print them on t-shirts, keychains, mugs, etc. All of our proceeds will go to charities such as MakeaWish Foundation, Invisible Children, etc. We want to redefine what art really is. Art is not just 2-D, what you see on a canvas. Instead, it can be 3-D. You can wear art. Art and music is all around us and we want to embrace that fact. Interested? Meetings at Y-8 on Wednesdays.

I did this when I was a sophomore. It was for a minor English project. This depicts Cassius, a charater from "Julius Caesar". And yeah, basically we had to describe him in the form of a "dossier", so to speak.
Anyway, here it is, the old Roman darling:

Thanks for coming today! :) So next week, I'm thinking that YOU should present something cool that you learned on photoshop. It can be anything from a picture effect to colorizing to adding cool text. Just share it! Our main focus next week is IMAGE EFFECTS as shown in the logo I designed above!
As always, submit what you make, so we can share it!

and don't expect anyone to make these.
so I'm going to copy paste this directly from my blogspot:
Instead of preparing for the PSAT. I did some of these during art class and got them wrapped up and all just a minute ago. Then I just scanned them.
I'm a big fan of hysterical fur. This girl from my art class says that this looks like a green sea monster. Right, I got her point. Hated it when I messed on the oversized clutch: I wanted it have gold linings but it came out to be orange-yellowish. I could've checked if there were Prisma color during art class.
Inspiration: Phillip Lim and Alexander McQueen (Plato's Atlantis) 
The really dark brown parts are suppose to be leather. I also wanted the hysterical pants to be khaki. The pants are semi-harlem, I didn't make the bottom to look like typical harlem because I wanted it to match with the shirt sleeves. I guess you can call it a jumpsuit since everything is connected into one big piece. And oh, I thought the heels of those shoes are fairly innovative.
Inspiration: Celine (Pheobe Philo)

HELLO ALL! I love laptops. I hate staying up to type out Bio outlines...
REMEMBER, try to design a LOGO either by hand, with photoshop, or a combo of both. If you do not have a scanner, you can give your drawn logo to Bryan, me, or Ashley G. :)

First of all, great thanks to those who attended the meeting today. You guys all participated a lot and that deserves appreciation. And remember that your contribution will reward you with some mysterious little prize! So good job everyone.
During the meeting today, everyone voted for the official name of this organization, hence we will call it "Design for a Better Cause". Other suggestions included "Design for ABC", "Design for Love", "Purpose to Desing" and "Why Design?" and we really thank you for your brain juice.
And since the name is officially settled, everyone should start brainstorming logo design. If you do consider to design a logo, keep in mind that it has to be something catchy.We will talk more about logo designs during the next meeting. Also, if the instructions fail to help you in designing a logo on Photoshop, no worries, Michelle will bring her laptop next meeting and demonstrate to us step by step. Please start contributing designs and the like so we can start on out project as soon as possible, because so far we are under a snail-crawling progress.
Anyway, Congratulations to Jacky Tu, who succeeded in recalling every club member's first AND last name. Jacky will be rewarded with mysterious little prize next meeting. Keep up with the good work!
On another note, meetings are NOT be at Y-5. We are supposed to meet every other Wednesay at Y-8 (Ms. Nicholl's room).
That's all. And till then...

There will be a meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) at Ms. Nicholls's room (Y-8, the new building).
Michelle will not be at the meeting tomorrow, therefore Ashley Squared will help to run the meeting.
We need to come up with an official name tomorrow, and hopefully start on the logo design as soon as possible. And please contribute. If you do, you will be rewarded. Thanks.
Lastly, hope everyone had a good week so far!
And again, any designs, please submit. I'll see everyone tomorrow!
