Calligramme

 Artist statement

My calligramme project is made of text from a letter to my future self in 20 years. The general theme behind my letter is about "writing your own narrative" and being in control of your own life to the point of feeling satisfaction. For my illustration I chose to do an ancient scroll with a quill. To imitate a letter within a letter. I hope my work inspires others to not be a passenger in their own journey, but instead the driver. As it serves as a reminder that you are the one holding the quill and writing the story of your life. As instructed, I utilized the pen tool to draw out the sketch and then the different variations of type tool to apply and insert the text to make my calligramme.

The title of my animation is "Don't burst my bubble", I thought it was a clever play on words that fits with the animation at hand. For this assignment I followed the tutorial provided as well as a few from YouTube which helped me get specific help in the areas that I was confused on. This is my first time utilizing the frame animation panel in Photoshop therefore I wanted to try making something simple since I am a beginner in this section of the Adobe Programs.

I did submit what I had completed despite it being shorter than required and partially complete.

Specifically, the photo that features Natalia Voronitsya laying down on a couch with her computer on her lap and the medication on the side table in the background.  I like this photo because it is one of the more creative ones in this collection. The placement and composition stood out to me which is why I clicked on the photograph to explore it closer and learn more about the story behind it.  The tragic and unfortunate occurrence of her condition partnered with the look in her eyes and expression made me feel deeply for her. The caption perfect described her with the word "confined" which added to the power behind the image.  Natalia's face has a hopeless look while also having her laptop open which shows that she is simultaneously trying to do something. Yet the screen isn't on and it's black and matching the emp...
