Self portrait

 







Propaganda usually succeeds in eliciting an emotional response from the audience. Public posters were a typical approach for governments to employ propaganda to influence their population for most of the twentieth century. They used simple visuals to control individuals by instilling dread or shame in them. I wanted my poster to be positive. I used the analogous color combination show to keep the theme of the original photo. One of my Michael Jordan's favorite quotes is "Others people want it to happen, some want it to happen, and others make it happen." You must be an action taker to make things happen.
 It is your passion for what you do that, in my opinion, is the most vital trait you need to be successful in life and to make things happen. It motivates you to do the things you need to do on a daily basis to make things happen. It keeps you going when everything around you is going wrong. I used my Tampa Women's Basketball picture to show where I apply this quote in my life. Everyday, I am at a disadvantage with my height when compared to everyone I play against. I was doubted that I would ever make it to a high division school. Now I am currently in the top ten all scoring list at Valdosta State University, all conference player of the year, 1000th point club, and an NCAA conference champion. I have accomplished everything I could imagine and will do my best everyday to further succeed.

       Photoshop, for me, is a tool for creating a compelling visual world.  It is also a means for me to explore the spectrum of possibilities made available by my material selection. I also use it as an opportunity to experiment with the various possibilities opened up by slight adjustments in color, composition, and technique of application. Overthinking was the theme of my project, and it's something I do a lot. Everyone, at times, overthinks things. Overthinking has been related to anxiety and depression, but when you're in the thick of it, however, it's difficult to tell what state you are in. The reason I used the clouded head and space background is because the more I ponder an issue, the worse I feel. And, because emotions may cloud my judgment, it becomes more difficult to take a proactive approach which leaves me feeling lost or uncertain. Everyday, my boyfriend would ask me “ what do you want to eat?” and everyday, i would tell him “ i don't know, it...

  Artist statement:  Completing this project was a fun experience. I wasn't sure how I was going to finish this project at first, but after playing around in Adobe Illustrator, I discovered that the "envelope distort" to "make with top object" would be the ideal tool for the job. If you want to utilize an item as the envelope's shape, make sure it's at the top of the stacking order for the object you want to use. My first idea was to base my writing around a dolphin. The dolphin was my source of inspiration. The dolphin symbol sends a profound message by representing eternal life. Because of their intellect and conversational personalities, dolphins are one of my favorite species. Dolphins are well-known for their elegance and beauty. Dolphins communicate using a language that contains sounds with various functions, just like people, as well as examples of enjoyment, fun, teaching, and social cohabitation behaviors. So I wanted my letter to speak through...

Tagbrush

  I wanted my tag brush to be a representation of my interests. The water and the lovely palm trees were two of the reasons I moved to Florida. Moving to Florida was one of the best moves I've made lately, and I wanted my tag brush to reflect that. My tag brush involves pouring color and using conventional brush strokes to create a picture. I wanted my tag to be straightforward and easy to remember.       Humans rely significantly on being able to comprehend and interpret information. So color choice has been shown to impact human behavior. I used the color blue because it is favored by so many people. Another reason is because it is mainly viewed as a traditional, non threatening hue, that leaves the mind feeling calm or serene. It leaves a feeling of trust and confidence that can reduce stress.
