FINAL PORTFOLIO

FMX210 FINAL PORTFOLIO


ARTIST STATEMENT:

        FMX210 has been a complex yet rewarding class over this past fall semester. This course has taught me the logistics of countless Adobe programs which have bettered my digital media skills. Attached is my portfolio which includes each final project from each program we worked with. My portfolio is themed as red and black with the font Mercurius MT std bold to better the overall composition. Each page is a different project and is done in chronological order from the first unit through the last. I aimed to use InDesign to successfully create a visually appealing portfolio while displaying each of my projects on the consecutive pages, along with a table of contents and an about me page. 
        My portfolio is crafted in such a way that is visually appealing through the use of color choices, creative fonts, and a simple approach to highlight each project. The theme I chose to create was based off of a few separate ideas I had, and is consistent and matches well, though it isn't to crowded to the point where my projects don't stand out. Each page includes one project with a description of my aim and overall idea when creating it. Secondly, each page also includes some form of red and black as well as my chosen base font to keep the theme consistent.
        Overall, my InDesign portfolio is a great representation of what we learned, and what I took from this course as a whole. It is able to properly exemplify each project with a description of what the project is and how it's relevant. The theme works with the projects to create a visually appealing composition and tie the final portfolio together. FMX210 has been beneficial in teaching me what I need to know with regards to digital media and the large amount of Adobe programs. My projects are able to show my progress in what I have learned, and I aim to continue learning what I can to better myself in digital media.

Tag Brush

TAG BRUSH ARTIST STATEMENT:          The piece I have created is a tag brush of my previously created travel logo. This brush can be used as a stamp and can be place wherever desired. The composition above shows the brush stamped a few times to create a psychedelic blue and purple effect that is visually appealing.          As stated before when describing my logo, this piece highlights my traveling and yearn to explore the world and other cultures. What is interesting about this composition specifically is that the logo is now a stamp that can be easily transferred and simply pasted on any other work of art. This makes it accessible and allows for it to be changed to multiple different colors and looks depending on what is necessary.         Overall, this tagbrush is relevant in being able to use the logo I created and apply it to other compositions. It can be made visually appealing and fitting ...

Self Portrait Poster

SELF PORTRAIT POSTER ARTIST STATEMENT:         The piece that I have created is a self portrait poster that represents myself in a propaganda type manner. I used a recent photo of myself to create a simple composition in every way possible except for my face. With my face, I aimed to use color to create the highlights and shadows from the original image through a variety of colorful shapes. In doing this, I aimed to create a visually appealing, colorful composition that still fit the criteria of the poster assignment.          My self portrait poster is based on the quote "always dream in color." I decided to create my piece to exemplify the idea of living life to it's greatest extents and to live your best life- in a propaganda style. I used a large amount of different lines and shapes to make my face look as realistic as possible and relate similarly to the original image. I chose to put the quote on one side of the image ra...

Travel Logo

    TRAVEL LOGO Artist Statement:         This logo was created to exemplify my travels and study abroad, as well my environmental passions and years of veganism. The plane leaving the world shows my love for travel and always wanting to "take off" to a new destination. As the plane is leaving the earth, my passions as well as yearning to explore other cultures can be understood.         My ideas are represented through this logo as the meaning, to some extent, can be easily understood as it is fairly simple and not too ambiguous. It is apparent that there is a plane taking off from the world, which is often seen as a general symbol for travel and a sense of "wanderlust." The color choice allows for there to be a visually appealing contrast to create a more successful overall composition. Another technical aspect that adds to the overall composition is how the line connected to the plane seamlessly leaves the earth.   ...
