For this project, I utilized Adobe Photoshop as a baseline for developing an image for a metaphor I think about often. In terms of the metaphor “justice is blind,” we often visualize a blind woman in the form of a statue representing Justice holding the scales, though I visualized a more modern and personified approach […]
For this project, I primarily chose locations that I knew would set an idea for places I would want to go to in the future and establish a baseline for the hidden history of my own hometown. For what it’s worth, I already had aspirations to at least vacation in Ireland and Japan, but my […]
In this project, I found it necessary to decrease the saturation and increase the luminosity of the background theme, as it became difficult to see the text in front of it. Prototyping was undoubtedly the smoothest aspect of the project. Once I placed the elements, I followed along, registering each of the flow elements with […]
I was particularly feeling fixated on puns and ecstatic about the irony of restaurants’ priciness for good food, so I combined my feelings and worked towards an arduous-to-realize concept, strangely. In this project, I learned a crucial point of making the text more visible through decreasing the opacity of the backgrounds of the icons. The […]
Through consideration and nostalgia for outdoor wilderness activity, I’ve found that it’s trying to remember some key details about preparing for the troubles and mysteries of a new adventure. In today’s society and stances on common sense, not many have a decent idea of what needs to happen when something goes wrong. The Scouting Handbook […]
After personal consideration, I chose the Celeste: Farewell album over The Three Caballeros movie poster for simplicity’s sake. Designing and re-designing the aves raras was a lot less appealing to me: someone who has a soft spot for gradients. In this project, I learned that there’s a condition for “merging” objects in Illustrator so that […]
I decided to grab a picture of Mark Fischbach (Markiplier) for Project 1. Creating it took a while, but it was worth the effort. For Image Tracing, I learned that I needed to choose the Extend option to show the paths of the traced image and use the Re-Color option for the custom palette. (There’s […]
Here, I decided to grab a picture of Sean McGloughlin (Jacksepticeye) for Lab 1. I had a great time making these, even if they were a bit extensive. I learned more about the Mixer Brush tool than I thought I ever would, mostly because I don’t deal with much digital art that requires it. However, […]
For this project, I came to understand the importance of compression, whether it’s lossy or not, and to know when is the best time to use each for specific jobs. Especially, in this case, the lossiest compression was the only way I could reduce the file size of some of these images. I found it […]
With this project, I learned how to control the opacity of a layer and its various elements and position it so that it can be layered on top of the layer that I’m working on if the image turns out to be as simplistic as this. Most of the time, I work by positioning the […]
