Going Elsewhere

Hey there folks! Here’s the scoop. This blog was intended to be a history of my design work while attending Full Sail University, and considering the fact that I graduated in November 2009, I will be retiring this blog effect today. However you can now find my professional portfolio at weskandel.com or some of my less professional ramblings at blog.weskandel.com. Or, if you’re really feeling saucy, you could follow me on twitter… yikes! Either way, I’m sure we’ll meet again…

Thanks,

Wes Kandel

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t thoroughly enjoy making this piece so close to Christmas time. Being that I’m currently living in the great state of Florida… it kinda made me a little nostalgic for the frosty north! Hope you guys can get past my cheesy voice over and enjoy the visuals! See you next time!

Final Presentation Poster

Hey Folks! Here’s my latest piece. Done for Full Sail University in Orlando, the initial type treatment was created using Adobe Illustrator with the abstract elements assembled and rendered out of Modo 401. My goal was to create a piece which mimicked the feeling of modern architecture. Also considering the fact that the text is part of the 3D scene, this was also an interesting study for me in lighting and contrasting values.

Kandel Family Pumpkin

Hey Folks! I just finished carving the 2009 Kandel family pumpkin… Modeled by the wife! Special thanks to my three year old son Zion for pulling out all the insides! Too bad he fell a sleep before seeing the final product.

Update: This morning he woke Liz up saying she had to get out of bed because he was afraid of his pumpkin. Haha. Maybe next year I’ll do something less creepy… like sponge bob… or would that be more creepy…

Niklas Lundberg Style

Simply an attempt to channel the graphic stylings and throw my own twist onto the work of Niklas Lundberg… a fellow swede and one of my favorite designers.

Print Design… Finally!

weskandel — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 23:44:22 +0000

I had been feeling the need to put together some good old fashioned pieces of print design for a while, so I threw these babies together yesterday. Yes they’re meant to be ironic and quirky. And no they’re not for anything real. Stay tuned for something more… complicated.
