calligram

 



this is my calligram. It was fun to write a letter to myself for this project, I enjoy thinking about the future. When I think about the future, I think a lot about the house that I will live with my family. I think a lot about the interior of the house, but I also think about my family spending time in the house and enjoying it. That is why I chose a house for my reference picture. I love bright colors and I think it is fun to think and hope that maybe in the future bright colors on houses will be more acceptable and maybe I can have a pink purple and green house like this one. 

I first started by making the picture of the house the background and locking the layer. I then outlined it using the pen tool and filled in the shapes with the text. I went back and added detail by using different characters for the window frames, door handle, and the brick of the house. I think this really made the house come to life. I also added in the chimney and made it the word family because like I talked about in my letter to myself, family is very important, so I wanted it to stand out. I added in the grass, sun, and clouds last and I think it helped fill in the empty spaces. 

this is the letter I wrote to myself: 

this is the image I used for my inspiration:

brush

this assignment was very fun for me. I love taking past work and adding to it. I have never made a brush in photoshop before so that was very exciting as well. I love my logo to begin with and I love the graffiti look this project gave it. First we started by taking my logo and adding different layers to it and playing with the opacity. The most challenging part was keeping the integrity of the piece, allowing the viewer to still see what the logo is. I think I accomplished this. By having multiple layers it really makes the piece look authentic like it is actually a piece of graffiti.   This is my logo made into a brush, with black and white, and then took the brush and created a pattern. I really like how bright and different this work ended up being compared to my other work. I haven't really done that much work in photoshop and I really liked it. It's hard for me to break out from the norm, but I enjoyed the challenge.

final portfolio

  This is my final portfolio. I really like using indesign so I really enjoyed putting this together. Like I have said in other blog posts I like indesign so much because of how organized it is. Indesign just makes sense in my head. I really like how this project came out, I thought it was cool to see my progression through out the year. I also really like how the theme is cohesive throughout the whole project. For my color scheme I took colors from adobe.color.com they had so many to pick from. I went with a muted color pallet so my work could really shine through. I also really like the font I picked I think it is fun and pretty easy to read.

color logos

these are my first color logos, I wanted to go for a monochromatic look overall, and I think I achieved my vision. The colors I chose all go together and are relatively similar to my natural hair color. I have always wanted to have pink hair so that's why I chose pink for the top design. I really like how it came out, and I think it could be used for a lot of different logos.  These logos are my favorite things I have ever made digitally. My curly hair is my favorite thing about myself so I loved showing that through my art. First I took down a lot of sketches on paper and then started to filter out the ones I didn't like and the last one I chose was very similar to this. I used my iPad again with the illustrator app to create these pieces. By using the pen I got a lot of control with all the curves and tiny details. I love using the apple pencil in my work. When creating these I made a bunch of layers and keep taking them away to see which ones worked the best. I love using la...
