Students from Saint Xavier Universitys computer graphic projects of Escaping From Ordinary

dio. They sketched three drawing rst then pick their favorite one to work on. We used Adobe illustrat

design it then we used Adobe InDesignCS4 to make this Magazine. These are the projects of what the st

think about escaping from ordinary radio. Radios can be something else, something cool & fun instead

box that makes sounds.

The old radio is dark and gloomywith the jagged music notes foatingn the air.

This is my nal draft of Escape from Ordinary

Radio. I wanted to show the young girl choosing the

exciting boom box playing 88.3 over the old fash-

oned boring radio. The side of the old radio is dark

and gloomy with the jagged music notes oating in

he air. The new and exciting side is bright and sunny

with lots of colors and owers. The radio is giving

off a beautiful aura with smooth music notes oating

hrough the air. I used the transparency and gradient

effects on the stars surrounding the boom box and the

ll in the sky. To create the girl I used both the pen

ool and the bamboo pencil. The pen tool was used on

he clothing, legs, arms and face shape. The bamboo

pencil was used for the hair and shoes. My intent was

not only to show the concept of Escape from Ordinary

Radio, but to lead the viewers eye straight to the boombox playing 88.3 by creating that bright aura around it

The new radio is giving off a beau-tiful aura with smooth music notesfoating through the air.

Escape

from

Ordinary

Radio

by Tamra Contorno

The car in the middle in listening to 88.3

and while driving they experience fun

and happy thoughts.

craft - I used many different tools while cre -

ating this drawing. I used the box tool to make the

cars and lines to make the roads. I used a gradient

for the middle line (road) and the middle car, also

used a gradient for the grass and sky. To make the

owers i used the brush tool.

Composition - I arranged the three cars this

way to show that the middle car was ahead of the

others, to show that it was more important in the

drawing then the other two. I also made everything

in the middle car bigger so it was easier to see, it is

the main focus of the drawing. I also added yellow

lines on the road to give a better understanding that

it was a road.

Concept - In this drawing t here are three

cars, the middle car is different because it is show-

ing the escape from the ordinary radio. In the two

cars on the left and right side show them listening

to 101.9 and while driving they see nothing but the

ordinary road. The car in the middle in listening

to 88.3 and while driving they experience fun and

happy thoughts.

the escape

radioby Kimberly Touketto

The superman!!!!!!!

craft: For this image, I simply worked from the

rst draft that I has completed. I used mostly the pen

tool and the paint brush tool to make the new objects

and revise the original images. The only other tool I

used was the pencil tool for the hill the cage is on. The

cage itself was made using the pen tool. I also made the

superman gure smaller and added the rest of his body.

I used to paint brush tool to x the lines in the shirt and

arms.

Concept: The concept of this image is still to say

the escape from ordinary radio. The radios in the cage

that are all the same are supposed to symbolize the ordi-

nary radios that need to escape. The superman carrying

the one radio to safety is meant to symbolize escaping

from the cage because it is the same radio as those in

the cage.

Composition: I put the radios in a cage so that

it would make more sense and not seem that they werejust oating in the air. I also made the background look

like an actual sunset instead of just random colors. I

made the superman smaller so that the viewer could see

all of him and it would look more like he was ying. I

put the superman on the left and the radios on the right

because that is the way people read. Superman is the

rst part of the sentance and the ordinary radios are the

second part.

Craft: This time around, I redid the build-

ings. Instead of drawing squares and leaving them

transparent, I decided to draw them o paque. I used

the rectagle tool and drew perfect retangles this time

for crispness. All other details were also drawn i n via

the retangle tool, the elipse tool, and the line tool.

The lines that formed various speakers on the radios

were aligned with the align tool after a single line was

copied for congruent lengths. The concentric circles

for the speakers were relatively done the same way

by varying sizes and then aligning them horizontally

and verticly. For the most part the speakers made

up of elipses and lines were copied and resized and

recolored to be reused for other radios for the sake of

efciency. The instruments were drawn in with the

rectangle tool and the line tool. The rocket ship wasresized to be larger. In addtion, it had the radio sta-

tions frequency added on as insignia through the text

tool. Some of the smoke was cropped out and some

of the outlines were removed to compensate for the

larger rocket. The giant speaker was also drawn in

with the pen tool this time. The background gradient

recieved a third color was was altered somewhat.

Concept: The concept this time was to draw

attraction to the detail of the skyline as was originally

intened and to make the rocket more noticable. The

concept that represents the escape from ordinary

radio here is a rocket ship, representing the escape,

blasting off, leaving the ordinary radios making up

a skyline, and tren traveling to extradordinary radio

made up of giant speakers with soundwaves in space.

This takes two things that are typically known to be

ordinary and extraordinary and illustrates them as

radio. The skyline made up of the old radios is the ev-

eryday, whereas the planet, made up of a giant speaker

with soundwaves, to look like a planet with rings is

the out of this world.Composition: The detail of the building draws

the viewers attention rst. The rocket is much more

visable and it now has information to let you know

what it is. The background has black added in to con-

vey that this is a space scene and it helps to show off

the rocket better. The rst thing noticed is the skyline

becasue it is cluttered with detail. The rocket then

draws the eye up into t he space scene. It reads from

the ordinary to escape to extraordinary.

Escaping To Fantasy Vacations.Craft

The pictures were created in Adobe Illustrator. Using different shape tools and majority of the pen tool I created pictures

ased off Radios and real human qualities. Each picture was created with many layers starting with the background then

moving to the foreground adding new textures, shapes, and colors.

Concept

The concept of these drawing are to show the ordinary radio being taken from its element and into a world of unordinary

epicting that 88.3s radio station is the escape from ordinary radio. In both of these pictures, The radio is dreaming of escap-

ing work and going to paradise where anything but ordinary happens.

Composition

The pictures I have used a familiar real life quality theme of vacation. Each Picture represents an ordinary radio escaping

o a fantasy vacations. One pic begins with an ofce worker dreaming of getting away to paradise, which leads to the 2nd

icture of the radio reaching paradise. The radios jump from a plane which knows its location by the hand carving of 88.3 in

he sand. The stereos make their way to the beach for a relaxing time away from the ordinary world of music. Both pictures

stablish the beach theme because it truly represents a world of peace and party relaxation. The radio climb up to the beach

to live their fantasy of being away from the regular life.

Escape From

Ordinary Radio.

y Joe Zahalka

The ufo or spaceship at the top is

ummoning the radio to escape.

This is my rst visual copy of, Escape From

rdinary Radio. For Composition I am trying to get

e viewer to focus on the radio that is right in the

iddle of the picture. The radio should be the rst

ing the viewer sees because of what is going on

ound it. The musical notes, the stars, the beams from

e spaceship, and the handcuffs surrounding the radio

andle. For Concept I used the handcuffs to represent

n escape. The aliens represent something not ordi-

ary. The ufo or spaceship at the top is summoning the

dio to escape.
