Portfolio

Image
Artist Statement: For my final project of the semester, I created a Portfolio to showcase all my work. Here, I included every major project completed in class through the different applications provided by Adobe.             I created the portfolio in order to have it available for any future job that I would need to present one. A portfolio has always been helpful and helps demonstrate my skills and my improvement throughout time. The overall vision of this project was to continue using the theme of nature. In almost all my projects, I have indirectly used the theme of nature to present my ideas. I’m a firm believer that we should protect our planet and that nature is the most beautiful gift we could ever receive.              There are no specific sources or inspiration for my portfolio. However, I used my logo various times since it represents me in my portfolio, making it something personal and special to me. I believe the most important technique of this project is the layout to h

Business Cards

Image
Artist Statement: In this project, I created three different designs of my business card while also including my past-colored logos. I was able to do three different versions with my three different colored logos in diverse ways.             I created the business cards in these three specific ways because I wanted them to be simple but pretty. I think that simplicity makes things prettier, and the designs don’t take away from the message. The colors and designs do not have a specific meaning other than to be visually pleasing. I really like using my sunflower logos because I believe that it helps show who I am as a person in my business cards.             My overall vision was to create business cards that would reflect me as a person and present a good vibe for people to want to reach me. There are no sources that inspired my designs or affected the idea of the business cards in my head. I believe the most important techniques in the business cards was the coloring and organization.

Postcard

Image
 In this InDesign project, I decided to do a postcard from my home, Puerto Rico. Here, I was able to include my logo and Tag brush I had created in previous projects.      In the front of the postcard, a Puertorican beach is presented along with the message "Welcome to Puerto Rico". I decided to include my logo in the message to help symbolize all the flowers and beautiful nature that people can find when they visit Puerto Rico. This tropical island is known for its beautiful sights, warm weather and crystalline water beaches.      I decided to make the postcard about Puerto Rico because I miss my home and wanted to share it with the rest of my peers to help them get to know more about the beautiful island. My home is very important to me and the world should learn more about it.      There are no specific sources or inspiration for the postcard, I just wanted to create something that resembled home. I believe the technique of contrasting the colors helps the postcard have a

InDesign Tutorial Videos

 Tutorial 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AshfNo-i8Ws In this tutorial, I believe the easiest to use tool that is presented is the text tool. The text tool is a very general tool in different apps and does not requiere much direction at all. I might use this tool to write a text in order to complete a work or form a poster for a future job. I think that the hardest tool to use is the scissors tool because it can be a little confusing sometimes on what I am cutting specifically. I would use this tool to form an elaborated shape that I could not form with just a normal shape tool. I find interesting how in the video, the influencer demonstrates the different ways to form shapes instead of concentrating on the text part. Tutorial 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDfM8VmDRzQ In this tutorial, the easiest tool to use is the selection tool. It is used the same as in the other Adobe apps, meaning that for me, it is not difficult. I would use this tool to select texts or images and be abl

Animation

Image
  For my animation, I decided to do the sun rising and falling, to later, on showing how the moon rises and falls. At the same time, I added some flowers to demonstrate the growth during the day. Also, I added a butterfly to give a special effect to the night.     There is no specific inspiration for this project. I only wanted to edit nature in order to demonstrate how beautiful it is. I was able to create this easily through Photoshop. It took a lot of work and time but the result is worth it. For my first animation, I really like the result and hope to do more in the future.

Somewhere

Image
 Sitcom Picture: Image of myself before editing: Edited Picture: Artist Statement: The art I have created is an edit of me in a scene of my favorite tv show, Friends. I was able to create this in the app, Photoshop, which helped me transform myself into one of the characters.           The overall vision of this project was to become part of the show. Ever since I was young, my favorite sitcom has been Friends. The show always helped me by bringing me laughs and many life lessons. I have always loved the show because it was a way of comfort in difficult times until it became something familiar in my life. Ever since I saw the show for the first time, I thought of how I would love to be part of their friend group at some point and with this project, I was able to achieve that dream. The number of times I have seen the show is outrageous, so I decided that it should form a part of my project.    I was inspired by a regular scene of the show. The scene presented in the picture is not uniq

I will use a simple picture of me and add myself into of the promo posters.  find 1 set of images that made you laugh This image made me laugh because of the effect the editing had on the picture. It not only improves the picture, but also makes it funnier.  which illusion you think you might want to recreate? I would want to recreate this illusion because it seems simple to do and gives the picture greater depth.
