For this assignment we had to make a poster of ourselves with a message. I took a photo with great contrast, me in a white shirt against a black backdrop. My face was serious and more poker like, therefore I wanted a more serious message. I chose a monochrome color scheme of reds to fill me in to enhance my message of "Don't let your mind take over your body". I really enjoyed this assignment as I did a similar one in high school with pop art inspired by Andy Warhol. This one was more fun to make everything precise with the words and font style. At the bottom of my poster you will find my monochrome color scheme I used.

Finally, attached below are my 3-D objects in which I placed my logo on. This shows the versatility of the logo and all the places it can be placed. It shows how it would flow on a 3-D object and different ways it can be used. I used lighter colors to go with the beach and adventure theme.

Here are my positive and negative business cards for the logo assignment. I love the way these came out and think they are very aesthetically pleasing.

Here is my finalized logo I chose for this assignment. I wanted something simple that could be represented in black and white. The simplicity in just the lines with the simple pop of color in the sun is what makes me love this logo. It is something that can be very versatile and resembles my side of adventurous. The concept behind it is between the mountains and the ocean, the sun always lies between us. This is personal to me because no matter the adventures I take in life, the sun always lies between me and my home and family in Connecticut. I am a very adventurous person who loves the ocean but lives by the forest and mountains back home so it resembles both sides of my current life adventure.

Here you will find my mood board and inspiration behind my drawn thumbnails in the previous post. These inspired my final logo for my business card and 3-D images. The inspiration words were creative, crazy, energetic, adventurous, and hardworking.  

For my logos I used the words crazy, creative, energetic, adventurous and hardworking. These were drawn based on the mood board in my next post. 

This was not my favorite assignment, but definitely put me outside of my comfort zone. I enjoyed making the hair and working on the coloring in my face. However, once I got to my neck it was difficult and did not turn out as good and precise my face did.

I was not good with coding up until this assignment. Once I learned how to trace for coding it became so much fun for me. Once you understand coding and when you see your code does what you want, it becomes addicting. I loved doing this assignment and making the Hello Kitty as she was a huge part of my childhood. I have never coded before in my life and anything is possible.
