  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.

 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.

 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.
