Final project

Title: If You Had Powers

Software: Replit, Audacity

I’m into super heroes and anime and all that kind of stuff. Ive always thought it would be cool to have super powers as well I mean who doesn’t? So I decided to ask some family what powers they would choose to have if we lived in a world of heroes. We couldnt stay serious.

My Animation: Non-existent shoes

Title: Non-Existent Shoes

Spring 2023

I chose to animate a blue circle bumping into a red one who gets real upset and turns into a monster because for the 12th time, blue has stepped on his shoes, shoes that don’t, exist they don’t have feet.

Audio Portrait: Studying at a Library

Title: Audio portrait of studying at the library

Semester/Year: Spring 2023

Software: Audacity

I combined 5 total audio files to create a portrait of what would be me studying at a library. I added the library background ambience, music because I listen to music while doing school work, vibration of a phone for realism, the sounds of writing, and finally my own recorded sound of me opening my bag and taking out a book and pen. I had the music fade in and out.

Self Portrait

Self Portrait

Spring 2023

Software: Photoshop

For my portrait I wanted to represent my willingness to keep going and seeing things through to the end. To do that I displayed an arcade machine on top of a high cliff with a red sky and the words final level. It being the final level as well as a mountain top shows the work it took to get there. I used a 3d filter on my text to make it pop and cropped out the full mountain so that it looks like a ledge. Added a red sky and moon for the background instead of the original blue.

Self Portait

Spring 2023

I created my own face in front of a purple circular background. Purple is my favorite color so that’s the one I chose. I have an arrow in my head just for the fun of it.
