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. I wanted to include my initials in a circle shape to mimic a wax seal stamp. Wax seals used to be an identifiable family symbol, and a direct and final signature from an individual when writing a letter. Because of that I think it would be appropriate to theoretically tattoo on my forehead. 
By playing around with the brush stroke options, I landed on the one that looked artistic, not linear, and mimicked ink (especially in the B/W original black and white version). The three colors I selected were inspired and play upon my character. My hair has orange undertones. Pink is associated with sensitivity, playfulness, and compassion, which are the traits I consider myself to have. The last beige-grey color is my attempt at keeping it neutral to go along with the current industry trend of minimalistic design. 
Overall, I would say I accomplished this assignment correctly and thoughtfully and my logo feels artistically correct to call my own.

Animation

Final Animated GIF Original Image used Artist Statement  For this animation project I illustrated and animated a fish with bubbles. I was inspired by the Goldfish cracker stop motion animation seen in advertising. 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. Additionally, I was not able to fully complete this project as I have a family emergency and would not be able to get additional class help. I did submit what I had completed despite it being shorter than required and partially complete.

Post Card

 Final Postcard: Artist Statement: To begin my Postcard project, I used my Illustrator Self-portrait final image for the requested main image. The most difficult part of this assignment was making sure that the initial measurements were correct and following the guild lines, as well as the exporting package instructions as I had never done that before. I used the shape line tool to draw out the lines on the back of the post card and I included my Tag brush logo. For the location I picked Paris, France as that is where Marrie Antoinette was queen and that was the theme of my Self-Portrait project. Overall, this is a very simple yet good introduction towards working in Adobe InDesign.

From the "The People's Portfolio" what brought me close to my emotions are the photos from the "Rights in Russia" photoshoot. 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...
