BUSINESS CARDS ARTSIT STATEMENT:         Above are both sides of the three business cards I have created as a vegan food travel blogger. Each card is similar in its concept but varies by design, color scheme, font, and text. I aimed for each card to be visually appealing while including my logo and the colors I needed to incorporate.         Each business card varies from the next and is based off of the logo and the color scheme of that specific logo. I aimed to create very different styles to highlighted stylistic and visual appeal as it differs by viewer. I also ensured that the front and back correlated with each other to increase visual appeal. Additionally, the fonts and placement of each element add to the overall business card.         Overall, I am happy with the outcome of each business card and am glad that they vary greatly but are all visually appealing. I added gradient to one, quotes, small fonts and larger ones, and placed my logo methodically on

Somewhere Toy Project Artist Statement:         For the toy project I decided to place myself in a Barbie box while posing as a toy Barbie. In doing this, I aimed to successfully display my Photoshop abilities while editing myself in such a way that made me look like a toy. The way in which I edited myself allows for the overall concept of a Barbie in a box to be emphasized. My stance is also relevant in showing how Barbies stand in more robotic ways as their limbs don't move as freely as human's do.          Each aspect of this composition is relevant in the piece itself and shows how I have turned myself into a toy. I was careful in how I photoshopped myself in to look like I was behind the plastic of the box and the cardboard encasing the doll. I also had to edit the box in a way that showed only myself as the doll and highlighted the plastic to look shinier and more realistic. With regards to myself, or the Barbie, I had to create an airbrushed and more fake lo

    BW TO COLOR PHOTOSHOP PORTRAITS Artist Statement:          The six portraits I have created are photoshop self portraits that show separate ways that color can be shown, based off of the same base color. Each portrait shares the same pink/purple color which is highlighted differently in each image. Some images include the base color on the hair, face, lips, etc. The base color ties to other colors through triad, monochromatic, complementary, analogous, shades, and compound colors.          These compositions are relevant in showing how colors vary on the color wheel and how each color relates to, but is different from the base color. Each composition is crafted in a slightly different manner than the next but shows how each and every color used correlates in a visually appealing way. My logo tag brush is also included which makes these portraits unique from other projects as my logo represents myself and is embedded into an image of myself.         Overall, these portrai
