Abstract: The art of design

     One photo from the documentary that brought me close to my emotions was the image of the military person aiming his gun. Im not sure why but this image brought a sense of fear to me. What we see in the image is a man in full military clothes with what looks like a helmet on his head aiming a gun. You can assume a lot from this photo but then again nobody really knows what's happening. That's what I like about photography. There's so much to see but there's so much that you don't know and can assume. We don't know if this was just a photoshoot or if this man is actually at war or in a fight. All we know is that he's there, aiming that assault rifle.

    I am not a fan of editing photos because I feel as if it takes the realness out of them. Nowadays everyone is editing photos wether it is editing your teeth to be more white, or editing your arms to be bigger, or even editing people out of photos. This is stripping the photo from reality and making people believe things that aren't real. I think that is an extremely big problem in society especially with teenagers. Everyone is getting false hopes from images seen online which is causing mental health issues in teens since we are so prone to believing things.

    This image is with me and my roommates/Best friends from my home town. We were out to dinner at a restaurant at the International Mall. I chose this image because is shows connection between my friends and I. Images like these are able to display connection because its just three friends smiling out to eat. What you can see is us three at a restaurant smiling but there is much more you can assume which is what I described earlier about how powerful photographs can be. Pictures with friends are super important because it allows you to look back at memories that you have made with people you love.

Tag Brush

Image
I chose to utilize my initials to form a simple yet attractive looking logo. The font of the M and the S is appealing to the eye and looks fancy. Especially on the tag brush, it is a mixture of fancy and a new, cool looking splatter effect. I believe this brush would appeal to both the new and older generation cause it demonstrates the best of both worlds. I also chose to take out the box outline for the brush itself because I feel like it was an un-needed add to the logo. I felt as though it dosent fit with the initials and I should have chose a different aspect to add.

Portfolio blog

Image
This was a great project to end off the semester. I like how It ties together all of the projects we have done into a single piece of work. I was not a great fan of doing blogs over the semester, but now that I have something to look back on and read, it means a lot more. For example, when I read my about me blog for the first time in 3 months I got some sort of sentimental feeling. Lots has changed in three months and I can just tell by the things I wrote about three months ago in my first blog. I think the blogs are extremely important for this class because it is a way to explain into further depth the background thoughts of why the design looks the way it does. The blogs give a way for people who are better writers than graphic designers to further explain their work. This class has not only taught me a lot about AI photoshop and Indesign, but also a lot about myself. I am glad I took this class.

Business Card

Image
  This business card project was very fun to do. I love the concept of business cards because I am changing my major to business and would love to be a business man myself one day. Seeing my name on a business card looks very cool. I chose the colors red and green due to the fact that its Christmas time so that was my inspiration. Having a website of my own dedicated to my business also sounds very interesting and makes me want to become a business man even more. Overall this project was a fun one to do.
