Propaganda

 This is my final project:




Here is the picture of myself for it:


My inspiration: 


I decided to do something regarding COVID-19 because it is a genuine issue in the world right now. Many people do not follow the rules, and this results in the pandemic lasting longer. If we all followed the rules, kept six feet apart, wore our masks indoors and even outdoors, and stayed home whenever necessary, our situation would be doing much better than what it actually is. People seem to have forgotten the reality of the world and are acting as if nothing matters anymore. I hope that my poster inspires people to "just wear it" because that is the least they can do. I think I did an excellent job because my propaganda looks like the picture my roommate took of me. I did the word "wear" in a different color, so it stands out. I also got inspired by Nike because they say, "just do it." It should not be that complicated to follow the rules and do what is right. I know we can do it.

    I seriously love how your poster turned out! The portrait of you came out nicely and I love the details you put into the piece which really makes it stand out. For example, your nails matching the lettering adds a special touch. The stars on your mask was a really creative way of incorporating your color scheme and it made your masky look super trendy... i'd wear it for sure!

    Alexia, I really enjoy your poster. I love the message and the color scheme. Its so fun to look at and I like the "Just wear it." I find myself saying this to my friends when they are complaining about wearing a mask and it reminds me of Nike's "Just do it." Overall, really great job!

    Alexa, I was so happy to see someone else make their propaganda poster on wearing a mask. You did a great job and I think it was super creative to add the nike slogan. Not only did you execute characterizing yourself, but I also think you did a good job with your color suggestions. The background complements you face and your text stands out. Great job!

      Thanks Tyler! I like how your project was also related to COVID-19. People may think using this topic is basic because everyone is talking about it, but that is the point. It has to be talked about because it is such a real issue.

Calligram

Image
 Final Project: Artist Statement: I decided to create a Calligram using my favorite letter, "A." The words inside the "A" consist of a letter I wrote to my future self 20 years from now. At first, I thought I would use a palm tree for this project, but then I decided that I would suffice with this letter because it is very special to me. My name starts with an "A," and I like how it is the alphabet's first letter. I also like the idea of this letter because since I am writing this letter to myself, and I am "A," it will be cute when in 20 years, I read this and see it inside an A because it will be my past self who wrote it and my future self reading it, but the same person. I decided to add something special and make every word that starts with an "a" be a different color, so they stand out, and whenever I wrote my name, I made them pink, so that stands out even more. To create this, I used the compound path tool to be able to writ...

Three Photoshop Videos

First video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAmSB5MQxOo This video showed me that to create a new document, you have to press command N. If you double-click the background, you can make it into a new one where you can edit it. You can make different groups of layers, which is pretty cool. You can click and drag an image into the screen and scale it how you want. If you hold control, you can change the angles of the picture. You can change the hues, which changes the colors, and there are many options. It is easy to add blur or pixels to the image you are working on. Vibrance and saturation are very different. If you do not want to make people seem orange, you can change the vibrance but not the saturation. If you save as a PSD, all the layers and edits save altogether.  Second video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpHiWOBQ4dM Adjustment layers can be changed at any time, and it is easy to edit them and add and delete things. You can use hue saturation to color the wat...

Business Card Sketches

Image
  These up here are my three sketches for possible business cards. It took me a little bit because I wanted to think of cool designs and not be boring. I like them because they are all different types of styles. The top one is more formal because it has less design, and it gets straight to the point. The second one has some lines and circles to add some design. Finally, the last one has some flowers which I think makes it look charming. Even though flowers can be a little overwhelming for professional things, I believe a couple of them or tiny ones would look fine. I am excited to see how they turn out in the application!  Updated card:
