Calligram Final- Stevie Nicks



This is my calligram final featuring a portrait of Stevie Nicks. I spent a lot of time on this project and included a lot of detail, mainly on the eyes. I started with mapping out her face with text lines, and filed them in. I’d eyedrop from the original picture, and make the text that same color. I sectioned out parts of the face in order to create depth and make her face have different colors and shadows. I also used different colored text to highlight, for example, her lip to also achieve this depth and add detail. Within each eye is a font as small as .05, as well as a large quantity of text. I made the hat and background a larger text because I felt the face deserved the most detail and I wanted it to be focused on the most. I had fun creating the outline of her face, as well as adding the shading to make her look realistic. I could’ve improved on the hair as well as her skin tone, but overall I feel proud of my work.

Black and White To Color Project

Image
In Adobe Ilustrator, I chose a picture from my high school graduation and made it black and white. Then, I used the paint tool and started to color on myself. I zoomed in a lot to make sure I could color in the details in order for it to look realistic. I darkened my cap and robe to keep a color theme going, and added black lipstick with black ‘paint’. I then added a nose piercing and eyebrow piercing to top off the punk look. I made the background purple because I, again, wanted to maintain a color theme. I had a lot of fun with this project.

Business Card Final

Image
Here are my *updated* and completed 5 business cards depicting: -Animal Lover -Compassionate -Curious -Creative -Adventurous I enjoyed created all of these but probably like animal lover best because it was fun to create the dog and cat. I t took me a while to finalize what I wanted to choose for my final logos. I played with them a lot, and decided I wanted them to be coherent with each other through their design and style. I really loved how they came out, simple but matching. I was able to use faces and eyes mutiple times which was nice. Making them colorful and pretty also took a long time but it was work it. I used Adobe Illustartor for this project.

Day 1 of Digital Media

8/29/17 ART 201: Digital Media Day 1 Today was the first day of class and it was very exciting to start knowing I'll be learning new and useful skills and tools. I enjoyed being able to see Professor Echeverry's work, and I found it fascinating that art can be made with an Xbox Kinect camera, it's just something I never could imagine even possible. I'm excited to be exposed to possibilities like the Kinect camera, and how things can be made into art, and the technological science behind it.
