My portfolio!

This is my portfolio filled with all my digital artwork from the past semester. Inside you will see I have worked with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, HTML 5, and InDesign. Even though this is a beginning digital arts class, I learned a lot that will help me in the future. I was familiar with photoshop but this class taught me how to utilize it for video. Illustrator was a little difficult at first, but quickly enjoyed the projects I made with it. I can't wait to use my skills in the future to help others create their ideas.

Animation

My animation project is an advertisement for my brand "I like 2." I used three hobbies to ask the question "what do you like 2 do?" and at the end featured my product.

Anamatic

My animatic is a simple look at what I plan on doing with my animation project. I plan on doing stop motion portraying the different things 2 do, like surd, paint, dance and so forth. I also plan on tweaking the opening and closing slides.

Lyrical Collage

Okay so my inspiration was from Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song." The song talks about Iceland and vikings so my background image is an Iceland landscape with the image of a midnight sun overlay with the opacity turned down. I really like how the sun over the background image looks, the colors with the sun looks very dreamlike. This goes with the image of the vikings. I turned their opacity down so they look sort of like ghosts and of course their ship is in the back of them. I added the guitars as sort of a nod to Led Zeppelin and rock n' roll.

Tardis in the Clouds

I used the brush tool to fill in the tardis and to create the stars and clouds. I gradually lightened the opacity on the clouds as they got higher. I used the draw tool to make the tardis and the stairs in the clouds. I filled the entire background before the rest of the image.

Magazine Cover

So I created "UFlorida Chomp" which is a campus gossip magazine with the focus on a recent game at the football stadium. I enhanced the background picture and the tailgate picture to make the color pop. Then I faded the background so it was easier to read text. The text uses bevel for the inside effect. The bottom 3 pictures I used the selection tool to select just the person so they would pop out more and I like this effect. I added some orange and blue borders around the top right pictures. Overall this was a fun project.

HTML

So this is a simple image created with html code. I started with the most complicated component, the sun. The sun uses a lot of quadratic curves and took a while to figure out all the right coordinates. Then I moved to filling the sky and water and creating the clouds and the birds. The boat was pretty simple and I saved it for last.

Final Logo

I choose the font because it is simple and not too busy. I feel like it would be easily identifiable. I chose blue for the main font because I really like blue and it's a pretty neutral color and goes with a lot. I really like how I made the eye replace the dot of the lowercase 'i'. It combines the 'I' with 'eye.' I made the eye and the '2' black to keep it simple and neutral. I slanted "like" to make it more fun and to add a bit more to the design. I feel like it is a pretty solid and simple design and easy to read.

5 logos

: Lucky Brand is a clothing store known for their jeans. This is a current logo for the company and I like the simplicity of it and the use of the 4-leaf clover. The clover obviously implies luckiness and is a good tactic to keep the logo memorable and identifiable.

: Infiniti is a car company with a sleek and effective logo design. The words are clear and simple and the graphic plays off the term infinity, which looks like a road going on for infinity. The logo is effective and memorable.

: The 2012 London olympics logo caused some controversy over the look. To me, the logo is difficult to quickly read and identify the concept. The first 2 looks like a z for starters. It's just too much and not very effective. The colors aren't that great either.

: Capitol records is one of the biggest record labels in the country and their logo fits this fact well. I like how they make use out of the capitol building with the stars. This logo has lasted a long time and is very recognizable. I really like the font, it seems to flow with the oval shape.

: The New England Patriots logo is very effective and is also widely known throughout the country, especially this weekend. I like how the colors and the star relate to America. The patriot looks as if he is charging forward, like in football. A very good use in color and imagery. Very American like Football.

Part 1: 5 IDEAS

Hey! Me again

I have come up with 5 fictional company ideas and would like to share them.

1.) Eye Like 2: This is actually not fictional. My parents have this name with a logo trademarked, but haven't really done much with it. They've sold a few shirts but that's about it. The idea is to have eye like 2 and then an image of what you like to do. I want to re vamp the logo and come up with advertising and marketing ideas. An example of what we've done already is having the logo on the front left of the shirt and on the back skydiving with a skydiver. I also want to work on an app idea.

2.) Vanda Records: The logo would incorporate the orchid. The shop would be set up like a coffee house. I want couches and bean bags everywhere. The environment would be very laid back and customers could browse and play music. They could bring their homework, friends, etc. Have bumper stickers made up with cool logo.

3.) Bristles and Bubbles: A painting studio for everyone, you do not need prior painting experience. We would host painting classes in a studio but do a lot of off site classes. Be more part of nature. Customers are free to bring champagne or any spirit. A relaxing painting experience.

4.) Southern Charm: This store would have crafts and homemade items to purchase. Would have a southern charm feel and style.

5.) Blue Skies: Coffee shop filled with music and books. A huge chalkboard wall for customers to leave their mark. A fun, relaxing place for everyone like the term blue skies, a term influenced by skydiving.

Me

Hi, I'm Carly and this is my first blog. I'm in college, my 4th year, and not ready for it to end. I have changed my major twice and have finally found an area I'm interested in, Advertising and Public Relations. My previous major was Political Science and I loved it! It's just that a political science degree is worthless to me. The major I'm in now is amazing and have found all my courses very interesting. I'm into photography and have worked a lot with Photoshop and have always had fun using that tool, so I'm exited to learn more skills in digital arts. Maybe this class will help me with my photography and how I edit my photos.
