Coloured Logos

Artist Statement: For my logo I chose to have my zodiac sign layered over the sun. I was born on January 21 making me an Aquarius. Astrology is something I'm very interested in and passionate about that having this symbol as my logo is something very important to me. I actually have the tattoo of the symbol of the two waves on my hip. Although aquarians are air signs they are water barriers, hence the color chosen for that fill is blue. As far as the sun goes, I lived in Tampa for most of my life and grew up in the sun. The sun is one of my favorite symbols to doodle, wear, and represent as something as myself. The colors chosen in the sun ray are a yellow and orange gradient. This gradient is the perfect combination to exemplify colors of the sun. I chose to keep the center of the sun a hollow white because I felt it emphasized the blue, yellow and orange and not draw attention away from the two waves.

P5 Mesh

ARTIST STATEMENT: For my new gradient mesh project, I chose to recreate pink daisy's. Daisy's are my favorite flowers, and normally white I chose the color pink so when creating the mesh, it gives the flower a 3D look. making it look real. I created two types of petals, one having the rows and three columns while the other had 4 rows and three columns. I used the same colors on each point but scattered them differently among the two petals. I wanted to give variety to the flower so each petal didn't look identical to one another. There was no particular placement in which petal went where. I wanted them scattered to look more natural.

AUTOSCOPY

ARTIST STATEMENT: This assignment was something I was really looking forward to altering an image and make it look like a different dimension. The original photo is a selfie of my best friend an I at a music festival, we both have scarves and masks covering our face. The color reflecting off our faces is emphasized by the lights but what draws me to this picture is our big and beautiful brown eyes.     For this project, I created masks around our scarves and eyes. I then put a black and white optical illusion replacing the deleted images so it contrasts well off the colored image. The image itself I wanted to make more bright and bold so I toyed around with the vibrancy and saturation. As well as placing a photo filter of purple on the image to strengthen the colors of the pink and blues. I added text in an American Typewriter font that reads, "It's all in your HEAD." I chose to write a quote there so you can imagine that what you're seeing is all in your head.

ARTIST STATEMENT: I really enjoyed this project, working with video in photoshop. I went through a few trial runs with choosing this video. I had one that involved swimming of fish, a baby on a playground, and ended with this one. I think it turned out fairly well with the exception of tis little blurry hiccup. There is some difficulty when changing the opacity and you can see that in the psd version. When I try to change the second keynote to 0% it either stays at 100 or changes all the keynotes to 0. Other then that I believe the movement of the waves and the standstill of the boats turned out really well.
