Business Card

 Sketches Final Images Artist Statement My business card project builds of a previous assignment that we completed in this course. The BW in color logo served as my focal point in completing this project. I knew that my potential business card would represent me which is why I made my personal logo the focal point. I incorporated some pre-planned design elements form my sketches, yet as I continue to get engulfed by this assignment, I strayed from most of my original plans and added more details as I designed. I followed the provided tutorial to ensure that I completed what was necessary as well as started and exported the document properly. Overall, this was a very fun assignment which I enjoyed getting lost in.

 Sketch Final B/W Version Color Version Artist Statement      For my logo assignment I wanted to incorporate my initials into the design. Since all three of my name initials start with the letter "M", I eliminated the sketch ideas that had the letter repeating.  I feel like the name that we are given at birth can steer our fate to a certain extent.

  Artist Statement Assembling the final project for this semester feels very rewarding. I feel very accomplished being able to see all my work displayed in an orderly manner and alongside each other. For my colors, I used two of my previously selected colors from the BW color logo project. I also incorporated the intricate and elegant design elements from the Propaganda Poster project. My personal favorite part of this project was how I included the "behind the scenes" sketches on the "About" page. I think it's unique, fun, and adds something personal to my portfolio. Overall, I think it's impressive how this course was able to go through all these Adobe Programs so thoroughly and with so many assignments and projects. I close the chapter on this semester on a good note and with my goal met, which was to build a bigger portfolio and gain more experience.
