Final Portfolio

 Coming into this class, FMX 210, I had absolutely no clue how to use any kind of Adobe software. I have always been a Mac user, so I barely even know how to use the features that Word offers. With every project, came a little bit more experience. Throughout the semester I started to appreciate how every one of the platforms we were learning to use built on each other. There are similar tools and concepts used to construct projects in each platform. Honestly, I did not really think that I would be using any of this information in the future, but I have found myself 3 times now using what I have learned in this class with Photoshop in order to do work for my other classes and it has served me very well. I actually enjoyed (part of) putting this project together because it forced me to go back and look at projects I did from the beginning of the semester to now, and I liked being able to really see how little I knew about Adobe software to the last project and being fairly familiar with the work. All of my work from this class is showcased in my portfolio, and I am proud of the work that is being displayed while it might not be perfect, I still like to see something out of nothing after coming into this class completely clueless.

 I chose this image (selfie) because it was taken during a very good time in my life and what is going on in the uncropped image is a great representation of who I am as a person. I also chose vaping because it is personal for me. I used to struggle with that and I had serious health affects as a result of vaping. I think when an artist can relate to their work, it makes the passion heightened and results in better work.

Calligram

Image
 Artist Statement:  I wanted to base my calligram specifically off what is going on in my life right now as I am doing the project. Senior year of high school was a very low point for me, and I felt extremely grown out of my hometown and the people in it. As stated in my letter to my future self, moving to Tampa has changed my life. I feel like I have found myself and found a new home at the same time, and that is the absolute best feeling ever. I truly feel more at home here than I do when I go back to my hometown. While my past and childhood are extremely dear and important to me, I continue to view living here in Tampa as a new opportunity that generates excitement for me every single day to look forward to what things may come my way in the future. I feel like my calligram really represents this story and what it means to me. Seeing the image of the Tampa skyline and zooming in and seeing my words filling it in is really cool for me.  Letter to my future self: Dear future self,

Somewhere

  When assigned to place myself into a scene of a movie/show using adobe photoshop, this was almost an immediate and easy decision to do the show "Outer Banks" . I have always loved this show and felt very connected with the characters and their lifestyle in the movie because I have spent a lot of time throughout my life in the OBX. Placing myself into this scene felt natural for me because I am always happiest at the beach or by the water and with my friends and this is exactly the vibe of the scene shot that I used for this project.
