Culture
Body Modification and Tattoo
Today in society, this deeply personal form of self-expression has reached its own level of individuality, as unique as the tattoo artist and tattooed. Tattoos are one of the oldest forms of body modification.
Today, the collective view of contemporary tattooing is undergoing a change by American culture due to the efforts of committed individuals; this impression of tattooing is changing. It is beginning to be viewed as an art form centered in a minor art world with a clear relationship to the artistic endeavors of the larger social world.

Assignment #8 - nmed2005
I feel like the colours of this edited image are a more accurate representation of Laszlo's style. Just changing the background and a few other colours and removing a few elements makes it a lot less bright and not as busy.Though this looks a lot more modern and computerized than Laszlo's paintings, if he were to create an image with modern technology, i think it would look something like this:

Assignment #4 - nmed1000
The website finally ended up working out, although it doesn't work great in internet explorer. the 25+ rollover doesn't work on any of the pages for some strange reason. works fine in firefox though. and after the guides were set in photoshop and i cut out the pieces to put in dreamweaver, they kept overlapping a pixel or two which threw off the whole row. wow, that was annoying to fiigure out. i finally had to just zoom way in and do it manually without the snapping. but it got the job done. and it turned out good.

Assignment #7 - nmed2005
So my mom just decided to get a website done for her photography. So i thought having a nifty little logo like this would be sweet. so i made this for her. i thought it turned out pretty good.
So my computer was being a loser and i had to reinstall windows and a bunch of crap then Illustrator would crash when i tried to save anything, so oops i lost my work a few times. but after the frustration i finally redid this logo. Unfortunately I didn't have time to finish the next assignment which is due in a few hours so hopefully my computer will let me do that for Wednesday. argh computers are annoying. but anyways, here's the new logo. 3/26/07 | 3:30am

My name is Brendan Coffey. I was born here in Lethbridge and I've lived here all my life. I just turned 19 in December and I'm taking New Media at the University of Lethbridge. I've always had an interest in computers and I like the amazing works of art and expression that can be created with them. I'm hoping one day to possibly go into web design or something like that... not too sure yet but I have 4 years to figure that out!
Outside of school I like to spend a lot of my time hanging out with friends, watching movies, tv shows, playing guitar hero, playing real guitar and other fun stuff like that. I also work at VHQ and help out at the youth group at church.
I have quite a bit of experience with photoshop and premiere, a little bit with dreamweaver and I'm looking forward to learning illustrator and other programs. My mom is big into photography and has a great canon digital camera that should be helpful.
Favorite movies:
- Gremlins
- Matchstick Men
- Zoolander
- The Bible
- The Oath by Frank Peretti
- Congo by Michael Crichton
