  Artist Statement  For this final assignment on Adobe InDesign I created of a complication of all of the assignments and projects I have created over the course of the semester. I began by first downloading a template off of AdobeStock that I then placed into Adobe InDesign and modified. I then adjusted the fonts and texts to ensure that there was not any errors present in the document. Following that I downloaded all of the assignments I have created this semester from DropBox and arranged them in order following the table of contents. I made sure to include my artist statements for each of the projects as well as a page about me. Overall, I am happy with the outcome of this assignment and I found it to be the perfect ending to the semester to be able to reflect back on everything that has been created and achieved in this course.   Template used and modified  AdobeStock-483192635

Original Sketches 3 Designed Business Cards   Artist Statement For this assignment I created my own personal business cards using Adobe InDesign. I first began by sketching out my original vision of what I thought I wanted my business cards to look like, however when it came time to actually designing I found new inspiration. I first step up the layout of the InDesign file to have six sides too it so three cards in total. I then downloaded two image backgrounds from Morguefile which I placed in the background of my cards to act as a backdrop for the rest of my design. I next created various designs including a sunflower, my initials, a border, and different colored variations of my tag brush. I arranged all of these designs into three different cards putting contact information on the back including a mock email address and phone number. My overall goal for the cards was to keep them simplistic yet make them unique in design. Overall, I am happy with the end result of each card and...

  Artist  Statement  For this assignment I worked on creating my own animation using Adobe Photoshop. For the animation I decided to do it with the inspiration of my dog chasing a ball. To create it I found an image of a dog through a google search in two different positions that would look like it is running and sitting. I also found an image of a tennis ball and used the quick election tool to trace around the ball. When it came time to creating the actual frame animations I decided to create a story of two dogs chasing one another and chasing after the ball. Overall, I found this assignment to be slightly challenging when creating the vision that I had in my mind, however I am happy with how it turned out.
