Artist Statement

My work consists of a logo that represents me as a person. For this project, I chose to draw a sunflower to be the logo that I “tattoo” on my forehead. 

The sunflower is the perfect representation of who I am as a person. These flowers are mostly associated with the sun since they turn to it whenever it comes out until sunset. Most people in my life always relate me to the sun because I love the heat and always try to be out in the sun. Also, my friends tell me that I remind them of the sun because I’m a bubbly and active person that is a “ray of sunshine”. I mostly relate to the sun because of my love for the beach and the abundance of sun that I see back home at Puerto Rico.

I created this work because it is a reminder of back home and the life I lived in the island. My overall vision of the work was to also represent the qualities that I possess. It is said that sunflowers are a representation of loyalty. I am extremely loyal to my friends and family, always wanting what is best for them. Like the flower, I always look for the brightness of the sun to light up my way and bring a little warmth into my life.

The sources I used as inspiration are the Lego sunflowers I have in my desk. They helped me draw the perfect picture of how I wanted my logo to look like. I believe that the colors are not such an important technique in my logo specifically because they were not chosen to send a specific message. I believe the most important technique were the petals because it gives more depth to the tattoo and brings more details of life to the flower. 

Therefore, the sunflower was the drawing that I chose for this project. I believe I relate to the symbolism of the flower and everything it represents. Overall, this project was enjoyable and made me analyze who I am and what I would want my logo to look like.

Photoshop TagBrush

Artist Statement    The logo that I’m reusing for my Tagbrush project in Photoshop is the sunflower logo. In the Photoshop app, I added some new techniques to give the logo a complete, new makeover.    The picture was originally used for a past project, where I drew a sunflower to be drawn on my forehead as my personal logo. As I have mentioned before, the sunflower resonates with the qualities and values I have. Sunflowers are associated with happiness, bubbliness, and sunshine. Most of the time, I get told that I remind others of sunflowers because of how I am. These are traits that I wish to portray when I’m around my friends and family, therefore I decided that this specific flower would symbolize who I am as a person.    In the Photoshop app, while learning to use new tools, I changed the logo. In this version, the sunflower has a grungier, street vibe due to the new brushes I used. With this makeover, the sunflower has a new meaning. I believe this te...

BW to Color

Image
  In this assignment, I used the Adobe app called Photoshop to edit the colors in one of my pictures. The photograph I used for the assignment is the one I used for a previous assignment where I am sitting in the docs in front of the riverwalk while admiring the buildings.           The history behind this picture is that  I have visited the docks at night regularly to find some hours of peace and even, friendly conversations. This is a place where I connect with nature and other people at the same time.   My overall vision of this assignment was to give color to the city of Tampa. I believe changing the colors represents different perspectives we can see through the city. I believe that the city presents many opportunities for us all and through this picture, we can see what is has to offer.  I created this work to show how much I admire the city and the beauty within, reflected on the riverwalk. There was no specifi...

Illustrator Tools for Beginners

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_-ygXZUq3U I believe that the tool that will be the easiest to use is the type tool because it is similar to ones I have used in other applications like Canvas or Word. I think that the hardest tool to use will be the Layer tool because even though I understand how to use it, I still need to practice to feel more comfortable with it. I might use the text tool for writing texts on different artworks or creating articles. Meanwhile, I use the layers tool to create a various number of artwork in the same page. What I find interesting about this video is how he explained the gridlines and helped me understand how to move the shapes and shadows. This video was extremely helpful and introduced new concepts about Illustrator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JjR4XNJ-eo&t=11s I think that the color themes tool is the easiest to use because I only have to find the button and choose the color instead of doing a long process. The most difficult tool to ...
