Final Blog Post

















As the semester comes to an end, we were asked to create a portfolio for our final project. After a semester of using the different Adobe systems, I thought that I’d have these amazing projects to show off. This semester was by far the most challenging semester that I’ve had thus far. Given I’m a senior, I’d expect nothing less. After working with Adobe I’ve recognized where my strengths and weaknesses are. I’m not the most creative person, I have a hard time expressing myself through design and color. I certainty can’t draw. Over the course we were asked to do a variety of projects that combined all of those things and I often got discouraged. I can look at a painting or poster and see why it’s good or bad, but creating an image is not one of my strengths. Maybe had this class been longer (maybe two semesters) and we were forced to dive deeper into the programs, then maybe I would’ve liked it more. I feel like I’ve learned the surface of what Adobe has to offer and the programs are something that I would like to learn more about as I grow and start my career after college. I’m proud of the work that I created, even if it’s not the best work I know at the end of the day that it’s the best I could do.

Coding Assignment


This was by far the hardest project that we did. Learning how to use code so early on in the semester without prior knowledge of Adobe was a struggle. Once I got the hang out of using the X and Y coordinates, it ended up going smoother than I thought. I created an ocean scene because I love spending time at the ocean. I really liked the way the colors turned out and I could draw circles all day long. The most challenging part about this assignment was how time consuming it was, I spent about an hour on one starfish alone. Being a perfectionist it was frustrating when I couldn't get a point quite right. Overall, I'm happy with the way my final product turned out. Here is a sample of what my code ended up looking like!

 This is the code I used:

Doll Portrait

This project we were asked to transform ourselves into a doll. I decided to take a picture I had with a nice dress on and pair myself with and original doll. I took a Ken doll and put us together at an idea date setting-the beach. I blurred myself a lot and made my eyes huge. I did this to the Ken doll as well in order to emphasize the doll qualities. Overall, I think that I could've made things a little bit more crisp and clean. The one thing I would like to go back and fix is making my skin look more glossy and doll-like.

Self Portrait

For this assignment we were asked to create a poster that represents who we are. We used gradient mesh to recreate a picture of ourselves. This assignment was by far one of the hardest things I've done this semester, but after playing around with it for hours on end, it turned out a lot better than I thought. The one picture was my first attempt

and the second picture is my final. The words look a little weird because the fonts I used on my laptop are different than the ones on this desktop. The words are of places that were important to me back home and of the places that have become part of me since moving to Florida.

Photoshop Brushes

Here is a fun brush I created in photoshop!

This week I played around with the pen tool to outline the objects and then used the gradient mesh tool to fill it in. I definitely could've added more color to the pepper, but I was just experimenting with this one.

Logo


When creating this logo, I had to go back to my roots. I wanted something with meaning, without being too obvious. I chose the heart design because it’s a symbol of love, which is one of the most important things in my life. I love food, my family, friends and believe in the power of spreading and giving love. I chose the anchor because I believe we have multiple anchors in our life. We have the anchors we put down, we have our home anchors and our people anchors- think parents, siblings and those we are close with. This logo also corresponds to a tattoo that I share with my mom and sister. We all have a paint brush version of a cross, heart, and anchor tattooed on our ankles. This logo represents things that make me, me.
