Final Portfolio

Image
Creating my final portfolio was a great experience. It was extremely helpful to learn how to use InDesign because I think it will be a beneficial tool to have in the future. It wasn't too hard to create the actual portfolio, but making sure everything stylistic looked appealing was the harder part. Overall, I am very happy with how my portfolio came out.

Animation

Image
For my animation, I decided to animate my collage. The hardest part was trying to make it look realistic, it was hard because I couldn't make the paddle move back and forth, and wasn't sure how to make the water move. Overall, it was fun to learn but I do not think that animation is in my future!

Collage

Image
For my collage I chose the song lyric Somewhere on a Beach by Dierks Bentley. I took a picture of a beautiful beach and added some of my favorite things to do while at the beach. Making sure the lighting matched and adding shadows in appropriate places was the challenge of this assignment. Making sure the selections were precise and that the images meshed together seamlessly was my ultimate goal. Orignial Images:

Magazine Cover

Image
For my magazine cover, I decided to take a Florida beach approach. I used a picture of the beach as the background, cut out a picture of me with sand dollars as the main image, an acai bowl, and weights as secondary smaller images. My magazine would feature things like best beach snacks, and workouts to get in shape for summer! Making this cover was a lot of fun. I used stroke and glow around the images on top of the background to get them to pop. Original Images:

Self Insertion

Image
For my self-insertion, I put myself in a lovely resort pool in Hawaii. I have always longed to take a trip to Hawaii so I thought this was the perfect opportunity. I placed myself in the pool out of the shadows of the trees and added a shadow underneath my tube. I also tried to make it look like my bottom foot was underwater. Overall, using the selection tools in photoshop didn't seem to hard, the worst part was trying to find a picture and place to insert me. Original Photos:

HTML Coding

Image
For this assignment I chose to code the apple logo. The hardest part about this was the bulge on the left side of the apple. I had to change it from a quadratic to a bezier curve a few times. <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <script> window.onload = function() { var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas"); var context = canvas.getContext("2d"); ////////////////////////////////////// start below this line ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ //stem// context.beginPath(); context.moveTo(500, 15); context.quadraticCurveTo(375, 25, 378, 149); context.quadraticCurveTo(500, 149, 500, 15); context.fillStyle = "black"; context.fill(); context.strokeStyle ="black"; context.stroke(); //apple// context.beginPath(); context.moveTo(605, 205); context.quadraticCurveTo(500, 125, 378, 175); context.quadraticCurveTo(275, 125, 175, 205); context.bezierCurveTo(116, 245, 116, 405, 175, 475); context.quad...

Vector Image

Image
For my vector illustration, I chose to use an image of me from my recent trip to Colorado. While this project overall was a challenge, the hardest part was the facial features, hair, and vest pattern.
