Postcards
The main objective of this project was to create 4 postcards using the pen tool in adobe photoshop. The postcards also had to have a continuing theme throughout that connected to a certain time in my life.
The time in my life that chose were all stress relieving moments. I also decided to use 1950's advertisements with some small adjustments in order to represent these moments. These moments were specifically; drinking coffee, showering/bathing, drawing, and napping.
Typographical 'Font' Poster
Summer 2019
This was my first experience using typography in a project where the font was the main requirement. We were given a list of different fonts to choose from and the goal was to 1). Pick a font and 2). Create a visually interesting poster that includes all of the variations of the font with some historical information while also using adobe Indesign.
The way I chose to conquer this problem was to relate the font I chose to something that interests me. I remember looking at the word 'Baskerville' and recalling the Sherlock Holmes story The Hound of Baskerville. My interest in Sherlock Holmes was what sparked the original concept for this poster. I began my research with looking up the original book cover to The Hound of Baskerville. I ended up working directly from the book cover and typed all of the characters in the for of this 'hound'.
I was very happy with how this poster turned out especially with the limited color palette that I decided to go with. I felt the background was just as important as the arrangement of the letters.
Chimera Photoshop Project
This piece and the piece below, "Attack of the Clones", are both works that I felt were more practice. Both of these projects were centralized around understanding the basic functions of photoshop and working with multiple photographs.
Out of the two of these I felt that developing a narrative within my clones was the most interesting. This is a project that I feel could be developed and rewritten to be a high school project with its simplicity. There was also room for creative freedom to really do anything. I chose to photograph an area that is really well known to me. The main idea for this was to create my own 'pit crew' as I dreamed I had when my cousins and I would race around the yard on four-wheelers when we were young. While my pit crew may not seem to be the most helpful I do believe this was the most successful!
Attack of the Clones
Another project similar to the Chimera. Using Photoshop and Photography to develop my own set of clones.
