Poster Project


The image that I based the self portrait off of. 


Final self portrait used for the poster. 

Being from Maine, it was essential for me to incorporate it into my poster. My home state is a tourist attraction for many reasons, from the beautiful Acadia National Park to all the coastal towns such as Bar Harbor and Boothbay. There are so many natural treasures within the state of Maine; therefore, it is vital to leave no trace and leave it better than you found it. For my art, I first began by choosing a photo and then tracing it using the pen tool to create different shapes that came together and created my self-portrait. Using the pen tool, I then chose to do more of a natural-looking background. My idea was to place my self-portrait within the trees and the mountains to make it appear like I was hiking. While I chose to attend a college in Florida, which happens to be one of the flattest states, I love hiking and being outdoors while traveling and when I am in Maine. I chose the staying "keep Maine beautiful" because it states that Maine is beautiful, and we must ensure it stays that way. While creating this piece, I used Adobe Illustrator and the tools that came along with it. For the most part, I used the shape tool and pen tool.

Final Portfolio

Final Portfolio This is my final portfolio for FMX 210, a visual combination of all the work I accomplished this semester. I chose the portfolio template on Adobe Stock because I liked the simple layout and how I could incorporate the colors and fonts I decided to use. I completed this portfolio using Adobe InDesign, using the layouts set out by the template, only altering a few to match my plan. I added text boxes to the artist statements and placed all the projects into image boxes. I chose the colors I did because they tied all my art together and made the project appear to be professionally done. Adding headers in one specific font also tied all the pages together, making it seem like a magazine. Overall, this class has taught me so much helpful information; as a marketing major, I will utilize many Adobe platforms in my future career.

Ps HW 2

 Ps HW 2 Elaine Brown, 2009      This image stands out to me because of all the emotion behind her eyes and facial expressions. At first glance, we can point out that she is unhappy and looks miserable. The depths of her gaze show the pain she is in internally, and that is why I feel it is such a powerful image. The documentary taught me how close-up images of only a person's face can be so much more potent than a further away shot. Platon has mastered this technique, as seen in the documentary. His technique is powerful and shows the viewer the emotion of those photographed.     This image brought me close to my emotions because you could tell that there was something wrong, and Elaine did not seem happy. She seemed somewhat disappointed. She was chairman of the Black Panther Party, an organization that fought for equality and against police brutality. At the time she served from 1974 to 1977, there was a lot of racial tension within politics.  B...

Postcard

Image
This was my first project in InDesign, which was a great experience; we were tasked to create a postcard for an area in the U.S. experiencing complete totality for the solar eclipse. My home state was in the line of totality, so I chose to do a postcard for April 8, 2024, in Fort Kent, Maine. For this project, I was inspired by the sci-fi vibe of a solar eclipse. Therefore, I chose this AI-generated photo. I knew I wanted to do blue and orange because they are complementary colors, so I did the text in blue. I also added my tag brush logo onto the back of the postcard where the postage stamp belongs. Overall, this project came out great, and I am glad I went outside my comfort zone and chose more of a sci-fi theme. I used various tools in InDesign, but I found myself using the rectangle frame tool the most. It made creating text bubbles and a place to put the image easily.
