final image project

for my final image project, I chose the streets of Harlem and a mourning dove that nests on my fire escape and photoshopped them together to make an image that looks like an album cover.

my final project

This is my final project, it’s a blog site that uses images to follow UFC fighter Alex Pereira’s story from being poor and an addict to fighting and winning a championship in the biggest fight promotion in the world against longtime rival Israel Adesanya

I edited the contrast of the images by using adobe photoshop

for the first 2 images I used, there were no licenses found for them even with the google commons license filter so this is just a heads up about images since I didn’t really know how else to navigate around it

my creative brief

Aiden Galan

Alex Pereira – Stone Handed Champion

Story Summary:

This story follows Alex Pereira, a man who grew up in poverty in Brazil and overcame alcoholism to become one of the most feared fighters in the world. From working at a tire shop to winning championship belts in kickboxing and the UFC, Alex’s journey is about redemption, discipline, and honoring his indigenous roots. The story highlights his rivalry with Israel Adesanya, his stoic personality, and how he uses his platform to represent his culture with pride.

Media:

I will use audio and images to tell his story.

  • Two images: one from his early career and one as UFC champion.
  • An audio narration will walk through his transformation from street kid to world champion.

Style:

The style will be blog like, with a strong, serious tone.

  • A single page layout featuring colored text and tribal-style accents.
  • Focus will be on grit, legacy, and personal growth.

Software:

  • Adobe
  • HTML 
  • GitHub 
  • Audacity

final website project

This is my final website, I decided to tweak the color scheme a bit more to my liking and I also changed the layout for each page as well.

my baseball animation

Untitled-4

I used lines and circles shapes to create stick figures playing baseball to show my love for the sport. I always wanted to do something like this and hopefully I can make a better one in the future.
