Artist Statement: 

    To create my personal logo I first brainstormed objects that are representative of who I am as a person and combine them in unique ways. Of the ten I sketched, I chose a logo that I created which combine a dumbbell and a lotus flower. Both of these are meaningful objects to me because through weightlifting, I was able to unleash the meaning of overcoming adversity, growth, and rebirth, universally represented by the lotus flower. I then inserted this sketch into Adobe Illustrator and using the pen tool and a variety of the program's features, including the reflection option, I was able to create this visual illustration of my logo in black and white. Next I went on to make three copies of this logo on the same layer in illustrator. I decided on a different color scheme for each version, each involving three empowering yet introspective colors. Moreover, I believe my choice in color scheme also allowed for me to highlight the different dimensions of the petals and the stem, dually representative of the handle of the dumbbell.

     Upon preforming extensive web-based research, I have come to the conclusion that the internet can be defined as a global network of interconnected computer networks that allows for the exchange of information and enables communication. Th internet enables the sharing of data, resources, and services across geographical boundaries. Furthermore, it has become an integral part of modern life, impacting various aspects such as communication, education, business, entertainment, and more. The internet was founded on October 29, 1969, when computers at Stanford and UCLA connected for the first time, becoming the first hosts on what would eventually become the internet. Additionally, the original Arpanet network was established between Harvard, MIT, and BBN in 1970. The Internet was primarily used for military and academic purposes, such as communicating messages and research. Furthermore, as it has evolved, the internet has become more accessible to the general public, lead...

     After viewing the documentary based upon the art of Platon's photography, portraits in particular, I feel as if I have gained knowledge on the importance of emotion behind photography as well. Platon explains how his portraits and what is captured is dependent on both his and his subject mood and state of mind in that brief moment when the photo is captured. Platon is specifically known for his portraits of famous world leaders, often featured as the cover of Time Magazine. These portraits allow for the subjects to express the emotions surrounding power and therefore send a message to the Time Magazine's American viewers.     Once I had reached the end of this documentary episode by "Abstract: The Art of Design", I followed the next link in the assignment in order to view "The People's Portfolio". As I looked through the images presented in the different folders on this webpage, I felt emotion connected with each. One photo in particular, however,...

Id Homework 1

VIDEO 1 :    This video provided a brief overview of the basic functions of Adobe InDesign. The video starts by the narrator reassuring the viewer that if they are familiar with both Illustrator and PhotoShop, that this program's tools will be relatively familiar and easy to operate. Next, the creator explains both the "selection" and "direct selection" tools, which I feel will be easy to operate as they are very to similar to that of the selection tools in Adobe Illustrator. Additionally, he reviews both the "type" tool and "type on path" tool, which we became familiar with in Adobe illustrator while creating both the Calligram and Poster projects. Lastly, the narrator reviews the multidimensionality of the "pen" tool which we once again used quite a bit in Illustrator. Overall, I believe InDesign will be fairly simple to become proficient in, as I have already mastered many of the tools it shares in similarly to Adobe Illustrator ...
