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 technique transforms the sunflower into something completely different, representing how life impacts the sunflower but it keeps being beautiful, just in a new way. I feel like this most of the time, as if some things happen to try to take away that happiness but we learn to deal with problems and keep going and progressing. 

 

Therefore, the new look demonstrates how the sunflower grows and changes through life. The colors in the picture do not really give a new meaning. However, the colors are bright and pretty to demonstrate that the flower can stay beautiful through it all.

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 ...

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...
