Self Portrait Poster

 






This project was created in the Adobe System, Illustrator. This project was a little difficult specially when it came to figuring out was I was going do for the poster itself. I switched back and forth between the ideas of doing a supportive poster for nursing and a poster that encourage wearing masks. I ended up doing a mixture of both since the two topics were relevant to each other. The inscription for these topics came from most of my family is part of the medical field and has been fighting on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic since the start in 2020. I choose to keep myself black and white, so that it drew less attention to myself and more attention to the mask and the message of the poster; this is also the reason why I choose the color red compared to lighter more pastel colors. Red symbolizes boldness and courage to me, and this is exactly what healthcare workers express during this time in our lives. 

The project started off with me looking through my senior photos to find one that would be applicable to this project. I settled on a photo and first outlined in color. Then I used this illustration to the base of my propaganda poster. One of the challenges faced while making the poster was figuring how to center the mask on the nose of my face. I ended up using the direct selection tool in order to fix the curves of the lines I made with the draw tool. One of the aspects of this project that helped a lot was making multiple layers in order for me to be able to lock

    I really like this project, and I think you did a really great job. The message is definitely there, and that stethoscope looks so cool; I think that was a really great touch that does just what this project needed. I like that you put yourself in black and white because it makes the red pop out much more. I love the design that you did on your hair as well. This poster is simple, but effective. I think you did a really good job.

Autoscopy Project

Original Image:  Additional Images:  Artist Statement: This project was one of the harder projects I had to complete this year. Starting off, I did not know what I wanted to do, or how I wanted to manipulate my image. Originally, I was only going to use nature as the images to mask and add onto my own self portrait; however, I wanted to be more original than that. I decided that I would stick with the nature theme, but add on more of an environmental conservation theme. So, I went to course of pollution, greenhouse emissions, and other ideas that revolve around activities that have been hurting the earth. I wanted to portray a contrast between hurting the earth and loving the nature it provides us with. Some of the images I included were of coal power plants, oil spills, smog in India, and trash pollution in our oceans. I also included pictures of flowers, desert floor cracks, the recycling symbol, roots, and leaves. I support environmental friendliness and that is the main re...

Somewhere Project

  Original Scene Photo:  Original Personal Photo: Artist Statement: For this project we had to incorporate ourselves into a movie, series, or famous photo. I choose to include myself in my favorite film, Good Will Hunting. This movie has always held a special place in my heart, from heart-breaking therapy scenes to the intellectual content, and breath-taking cinematography talent from the director Gus Van Sant. The score of the film is also one of the best parts of the film. I first watched this movie after going on a Matt Damon movie watching spree with my dad. I will never forget the amazing acting that was displayed in this movie both by Matt Damon and Robin Williams.   To start this art piece, I began with watching the movie trying to find a scene that I thought would be easier to edit myself into. A lot of the scenes are shot with complex backgrounds that would be hard to mask and edit myself into. I played with the idea of putting myself onto the movie poster, but I...

Business Cards

Image
Artist Statement:  For this project I used the Adobe System, InDesign. Through the tools and applications of InDesign, I was able to make three different business cards. These business cards have a few facets: I included my logo in all three of the cards, my cell phone number is also included, a website to reach me at, and an email. Giving multiple ways of communication is always a good idea when it comes to business cards. I choose mainly pastel colors when designing my business cards. I chose pastel color because I think they worked best with the logo I chose.  However, I did make one of the business cards a bright red; I chose red to be one of the colors since it really “pops” out at a viewer and makes it “unforgettable”. I think the black and white logo really works the best with all the colors I chose.   While making this project, I struggled a few times. One of my main problems during this project was remembering which layer I was currently editing on. When I would ...
