04 - Poster

 I had a lot of fun with my poster. Using Illustrator, I created a poster using the phrase “happiness is a butterfly”. The inspiration came from my calligram project and the self-reflection I went through when asking my future self if I was happy. I didn’t want fully imagine a future and dictate what would make me explicitly happy, rather leaving it open-ended, because searching for happiness won’t yield it; happiness comes in the moments you don’t expect it, so I made my poster to reflect that. My first poster had a lot of noise, which I cleaned up for my final version, but overall I do like how my poster turned out, and I definitely enjoyed the process of making it.

06 - Somewhere

 My somewhere project definitely did not turn out how I wanted it to. I had trouble finding screencaps from shows and movies I love to edit myself into, and when I finally chose one, editing myself into it didn’t work out how I wanted it to. The texture of my sweater doesn’t lend well to being scaled and in some sizes looks off, and playing with the noise of the scene and the lighting/coloring was difficult. If I did this project again, I would choose a different movie scene and wear different clothing with less texture, however I still think it was helpful to learn how to edit something or someone into a photo.

07 - Multiplicity

 I really enjoyed myself with this project. There were a few hiccups when shooting the different versions of me, the camera position slightly changed which proved difficult when editing all these version of myself into one photo. However, despite that, I am proud of this project and how the different me’s in the photo look. If I did this again, I would definitely place my phone on a table or something to stablize it and make sure that the camera doesn’t move around in any way.

01 - Canvas

Image
  My first project for this class was completed using Adobe Dreamweaver. Before this, I had never coded anything in my life, but this opportunity showed me how much time and dedication it takes to code, and also sparked my own interest in it. I created Genie from Aladdin because Genie is my favorite character from any Disney movie. It took me multiple days to complete as I meticulously created curve after curve, but overall I am incredibly proud about what I managed to complete. Some of the curves are still a bit angular, which is something I’ll be weary about if I code anything again in the future.
