FMX 210

For this project, our class was instructed to form three different types of business cards.  For this being the first time using the Adobe Indesign Application, I found it pretty difficult to navigate around the different tools to find a final result.  I decided to incorporate my logo from a previous project on all different versions of my business cards.  From looking at the first draft I made when developing sketches for this project, I feel that I improved over time and work ethic to complete a much better final outcome.  Overall, I thought this project was interesting and informative as well as considering business cards are extremely important to have in your future career.  I will definitely use this application as well as this project as a reference down the line of my work path.   

I chose to insert myself into my favorite photo of the Sopranos cast. When researching for this project, I looked through my favorite movies and TV series and the Sopranos was an easy pick for me. I dressed in similar clothing to what they were wearing in the photo to make it look as realistic as possible. When adding myself to the image, after I masked myself out, and created a few adjustment layers to make my coloring as similar to the original photo as possible. Some adjustments that I made were hue and saturation, channel mixer, and brightness and contrast. I erased some of my clothing to make it look as if I was behind the character next to me, and made the bottom of my photo blurred out into the black that is shown underneath all the characters. I found this project to be both challenging and interesting, but I enjoyed being as creative as I could. Since this photo was taken using a different camera, I changed the coloring of the original image a little to match the pho

For this project, I included a picture of myself, a picture of a candle burning in the shape of a head, and an image of the solar system. I chose to use hue and saturation, color balance, and black and white transition layers when coloring my piece the way it is. My choice of images was specifically used to create an illusion of myself in outer space. While working on this piece on April 7th, it also happened to be the same day as the "supermoon". Astronomy has always been an interesting subject for me to learn about, so I felt with the supermoon being present, and it also is a big passion of mine, that the background of the solar system fits perfectly for this project. When choosing a second image to overlay, I chose an image of a burning candle. With everything going on right now, the coronavirus is taking over our every day lives. As hard as it is, eventually the light (coronavirus) will burn out and we will return to our normal days. The image of the candle burn

Original Picture  This project was an extremely interesting adventure.  I had a lot of fun choosing from different color schemes and deciding which ones would best fit the corky colored versions of myself.  I thought this was going to be a tad easier than I thought but with the guidance of Professor Roundtree on her tutorial, I slowly but surely pieced this project together.  I would have to say starting off using Photoshop for the first couple of times, this is one of the more difficult applications that we have used in this course.  But with that being said, I believe with more practice and dedication, the road will become a little bit simpler in the long run.   When looking for different color schemes to use in this project, I decided to choose from making a custom selection of my own, along with a Triad scheme, and I finished my last version as a Square scheme.  I believe the most difficult aspect of this project was properly cropping and highlighting different

Original Logo TagBrush Logo This project was extremely challenging but at the same time was a lot of fun for me.  I decided to use a variation of different colors to properly represent the logo that I first made in Illustrator and then converted into Photoshop.  I chose to implement the different colors for specific reasoning because my logos not only who I am, they also represent where my ancestors are from.  As you can see in my logo, there are three different ideas all combined into one overall.  There is a shamrock to represent my Irish descent, there is an Italian Horne to show the Italian side of me, and finally in the front of the logo- there is a family sign to show how deeply my family matters to me.   I decided to use this specific color scheme in this project to match the countries that my family loves and resides.  I chose to use the blue part of my logo to represent America, the land of the free and the home of the brave.  The green part of my logo in th

For my Self Portrait Project, the project was inspired by a picture that you were supposed to take of yourself and transform it into the application Adobe Illustrator.  From the start of the project, I was deciding what angle was the most appropriate to fit the message that I was attempting to convey in this assignment.  I attempted various different angles from crossing my arms, to serious emotion, even attempting to go after a joking emotion with me laughing in the picture.  Through the assignment directions, the class was encouraged to base our project after a propaganda poster and make our own version out of the specific poster that would give off our own spin.  I looked at various propaganda posters that and I decided to go with an Uncle Sam Army recruiting poster.  The Poster was a picture of Uncle Sam pointing at the eye of the viewer with the message, “I want YOU for the U.S. Army.”  I then chose to take a picture of me in a similar position up against a white wall pointi
