Final Portfolio

I enjoyed working on my final portfolio because it was a way to organize my work for the semester in a clean and artistic way. I had chosen my theme for my portfolio to revolve around the meaning behind my logo. My color scheme matches a painting I had did. (Which my logo is based off of as well.) My portfolio consists of projects and assignment I had completed throughout the semester, and I had gotten my portfolio printed at Staples.

COLLAGE

Song Lyric (Taylor Swift): Even if it's Just in your Wildest Dreams

For my collage I decided to choose a song lyric from Taylor swift that emphasizes being in an unreal world not wanting a dream to end. My favorite artist is Salvador Dali, and I wanted to incorporate him into my "wildest dreams" digital art collage. The elephant, roses, and clock hanging off of a branch are all elements from different paintings of his. A surrealist approach to this project is what I had in mind for a lyric emphasizing dreams. I used 12 different images to create my dream. My piece includes Scott Eastwood who featured in Taylor Swift's "wildest dreams" music video as well. Sticking with a color scheme, and creating perspective are two elements that I wanted to do well for this project.

ASCII

HTML coding may seem as a very tricky process at first. It took me a couple of class periods to get the hang of using Text Wrangler/HTML. The best thing that I did for this project was take notes for each code and their effects during classes. For example the coding for a circle, quadratic, and bezier curve. I had also taken pictures of professor Corrigan's work on the projector so I could see each step when reverting back to a reference. When making my turtle I started with the shell, and then moved onto the head following with each of the legs. I made each of the legs separately along with the tail. After each shape was created I then decided to fill in with color. I believe it is much easier to see with a line stroke before the whole shape is filled. Lastly I made the eyes and heart on the shell as the finishing shapes that served as detail.

Complex Illustration: Self Portrait

The image I chose to create comes from a senior photo album I did during the winter. I enjoyed using Illustrator for this project learning how to make a portrait. For this project I liked experimenting how to make a portrait look like a photograph but I also liked learning how to make a person look cartoonish.
