calligram

 


To create the calligram project on Illustrator, I used a photo of myself as reference and placed words from a letter I wrote to future me. This project helped me realize what I personally value from life and it  represents who I am as a person.  Fitting the words to each part of my face was stressful but my my favorite section of this project is my eyes and how the words not only fit into them, but also frame them.

  I think the animation project challenged me the most throughout the semester. This project was time consuming  and tedious but also rewarding. I am especially proud of the body of my figure changing colors while doing cartwheels and how it turned out like I envisioned. I think the colors complement each other and are bright but not too flashy or busy. I had the idea to do cartwheels because of their visual appeal and also to dust off my very old cheerleading skills.

 While doing the black and white to color project in Photoshop, I started becoming more comfortable with the platform.

Before taking this class, I have always done the same exercises in Photoshop, so I'm glad to learn more skills and am less intimidated by the platform.  original image:

 I am really excited for this class because I think I'm going to learn a lot and improve my editing skills. I am a junior at the University of Tampa studying communication. I have a couple ideas of what careers I am interested in but I am also open to many options. I often feel like I want to do too many different things that I can't fit into one lifetime. I have been interested in graphic design since I took photography and TV production in high school. An idea I have had since high school as well is making my own stickers and selling them so that is also why I take so many design courses in college. I also want to find my own style or aesthetic within design and I think this class will help a lot with that.
