Interest

Spring 2024

Adobe After Effects

I chose to animate the emotion interest. I started with the letter “i” because I felt like it was really on brand and decided to make the circle of the “i” a dot shape. The background I created by using graphics on Canva and importing it into Ae. The hardest part was letting go a little bit of my story board. I needed to simplify the movement of the dot/circle because I wasn’t sure how to approach the dot changing shape and making it look more realistic.

Bad Dream

Title: Bad Dream

Semester/Year: Spring 2024

Software: Audacity

By making this audio, I really wanted the listener to be able to close their eyes and create their own visual that goes along with this ‘Bad Dream’. I wanted to create an off-putting, disturbing but not sure why it feels disturbing type of feel. Not quite horror but just that something is wrong – the feeling of dread. And then the sound of relief at the end, which is someone waking from a bad dream.

My Self Portraits

PART I: RASTER

Title: Self Portrait

Semester/Year: Spring 2024

Software: Photoshop
I chose a vase for the base of my self portrait because I wanted to fill it with all of the things that I feel like have represented me lately, and also I really enjoy ceramic vases. I recently broke my ankle and it has affected every part of my life, so an x-ray is there along with some art tools, nail art (which has become a new hobby of mine while being temporarily disabled). I also put a dog in the background because my dog is always around. Lastly I added a little slug mainly because I thought it was funny. I combined a total of 8 images.

PART II: VECTOR

Title: Self Portrait

Semester/Year: Spring 2024

Software: Adobe Illustrator

I chose bright and neon colors because that is how I feel on the inside: very colorful and different from each other but somehow they go together well. I feel like I have an eclectic set of interests. I was inspired by my literal face shape and hair style. The most challenging part of this project was the fact that I accidently deleted it when I was done because the software crashed and then I didn’t save the recovered file before closing out. I tried to remake it as best I could but I just don’t think I reached the level of creativity and texture that I had in the deleted version unfortunately.

Self portrait progress

I changed a lot about the vase photo and focused on editing the borders from each image. I also created an AI portrait which I’m pretty happy with
