Color Doesn’t Exist, Understanding + Design

In this lecture I cover all of the complexities associated with attempting to match color accurately when working as a graphic designer. I discuss CMYK, RGB, and Pantone systems of color specifically, and how each can fail in unique ways, and how to explain to a client when matching between modes and devices falls short.

Darwin The Dragon

This is the creation of my Darwin The Dragon character from start to finish (modeling, rigging, and skinning). Darwin will be used as part of a different side project I'm working on. The recorder got overloaded a couple times when I was making this, so if the quality biffs or pauses for a couple seconds, it does come back. This was my first time rigging and skinning.
