vector illustrator portrait

Preproduction

When I was told that I needed to find a glorious, high-quality picture to use for my vector project I knew exactly what to do. I have this picture from 2017 that I took with my head out of a car window on the highway and it looks absolutely majestic so it was an easy choice. So before I started the project I had to do this thing in photoshop to show the different shades of color on my face in the picture. In Illustrator, I then made two artbords, one with a lower opacity version of the and the other had the full opacity.

Production

When I started the project I immediately ran into problem, as I picked an extremely complex photo. The face was not one shade anywhere, it was all just a ton of different shades. That made it much more complicated and trickier than anticipated. It got to a point where I genuinely considered choosing a new photo but I persevered. Each part of my project was split up into separate parts such as mouth, eyes, eyebrows, etc. I did learn that I need to work extremely hard and pay very close attention to detail. Some such details is the strands and shades of hair, those were tricky a bit.

Post Production

I am actually very pleased with my final project, the one part I do not like as much is the splotch of a darker shade. That part just distracts me even though I know that it's supposed to be there.

CSS Web Project

What we did This past week we created another web page but this one was for a poem called "Another Reason I don't keep a gun in the House". We began by adding in the starting files and we then created new rules on the different parts such as the headings. Those got changed to different colors, sizes, etc. Once done we added some links and text of our own. The project was fairly easy and simple to be honest. At the beginning the site was just a white page with a dog picture and some text but by the end it had a black background with different text colors and a great variety. CARP Contrast is the first letter of CARP and boy was there variety in this project. The texts were different colors and the colors had great contrast with each of their respective background. A great example is the darker tan text on a light tan background. Another was the text sizes with each other. Alignment is the next letter, this relates to how the text was aligned. The heading/titles ...

The Grand Finale: Recap of my final year in ecomm

The Five Guarantees Over the past four years in ecomm, one thing has been the same, there have been 5 guarantees that we stand by: Technical skills, communication, collaboration, leadership, and project management. Something I took away from Technical skills was that it helped me learn how to handle equipment and adapt more quickly to things I haven't used before. I think that's pretty important in life because evolving and adapting is something we do all throughout our lives. I learned it through experience on set and teachers showing me how to use the equipment. It could be difficult at points, especially when it wouldn't work, but I would power through. I'm still not great at operating the camera, but I am proficient at using adobe software. Next up, communication. Communication made me take away that to get something done, everyone needs to be on the same page. If you aren't on the same page, then the project typically is a jumbled mess. I faced many challenges ...

Film Reel 2021

Image
The process So over the past few weeks we have been working on creating new film reels for ourselves. As we started, I had an idea to use"Don't Stop Me Now" for my music in the reel. Clearly that didn't work out, as I found out, I didn't have enough high energy clips to match the pace of the song. After that I was stuck on trying to find a new song, but I was also working on the feature script so I had to make a decision fast. I ended up using "Gangsta's Paradise" from my last film reel. Needless to say, it fit my style perfectly once again. On top of my clips from the last film reel, I now added more scenes from "Lazy Sunday" and my "Wii" commercial. Overall reflection      Overall, I thought that my reel showcased my style really well. I tried to go for a more comedic style of reel as that's what I prefer to make genre-wise. Some solid examples of this is many of the clips from "Lazy Sunday" and my "Tears of T...
