Final Blog Post

What an interesting spring it has been with Santi in Digital Arts! Before this class, I had never used photoshop, dreamweaver, illustrator, in design, or any of the other softwares we used. I now feel confident using those programs for my personal purposes or just for fun. Even though some of the projects were stressful, difficult and extremely time consuming, I always felt very satisfied with the final outcome. I remember working on my Autoscopy and my Canvas and feeling like I was wasting my time, but once I had finished, it was all worth it. It's really cool to create things digitally and I am glad that I stuck through the whole class.

I'd like to thank Santi for putting up with me sitting in the back talking all the time, but I want him to know that I was listening to him and he taught me everything I used to complete those projects.

Thanks for a great semester.  :)

Final Portfolio

When printing, my portfolio page numbers were off. Anyways, here's my final blog post- my final portfolio for Beginning digital arts :) 

POSTER - It Feels So Good To Be Bad

Here is my poster made with image tracing on adobe illustrator. The original picture is from Halloween 

Portfolio Cover

I created the cover for my portfolio on photoshop. 

Poster Tutorials

Checking out more videos for ideas for my poster.

Gradient Mesh- YINYANG

Made with Illustrator. I used the gradient mesh tool with the eyedropper tool to create a 3D version of the little box. I couldn't keep the same wooden texture but I did my best to make it appear 3D with shadows, shine, etc.

Business cards/ Logos & Sketches

These are my 5 business cards with logos for my partner Vanessa. The mickey ears and the hair straightener logo pretty much stayed the same, but the other 3 evolved after the sketches. All were made on illustrator.

Calligram- Strawberry Fields Forever

Using the lyrics of "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles, I created the shape of a strawberry. I mainly used the "Type on Path" tool and the "Envelope Distort" option to make the words take shape of a strawberry.

Snowflake

Messing around with the pathfinders. Made with Illustrator.

Birthday Card

Very cheesy. Made with Illustrator. 

Abstract Landscape- Practice

Practicing with Adobe Illustrator. It is much easier to create shapes and gradients with Illustrator vs. Dreamweaver!

ANIMATION PROJECT

Pretty basic but it actually took me a lot of time to make! LITTLE ALIENS ATTACK!!!!

trippy beach

just messing around

Little Ant

                                    This is my first attempt at animation.

Mia & Addy

I morphed my friend Mia and I just for fun. Not the best but it was a quick job

Morphx Project

I made myself into the Gerber Baby :-)

Somewhere Project- Tiger Face

Autoscopy- Adelyn Morrison

Jim Morrison of The Doors, one of my favorite artists/bands, lived his life doing whatever he wanted and saying whatever he wanted on stage, without ever considering or being afraid of any consequences.
Sometimes I feel like Jim Morrison, like I am untouchable.  The background was taken, by me,  at a secret cave in Malibu, California, also known as the "Jim Morrison Cave". Rumor has it Morrison would go to this secluded cave to write his poetry and music, and it has since been decorated by incredible paintings, graffiti, and other artwork. He was the Lizard King, I am the Lizard Queen.
