Final Portfolio












    This is my final portfolio of all of the art that I have made in this class. I chose the colors blue and pink to be the theme of this portfolio because they are some of my favorite colors and I liked the ways that they contrasted with each other. For my table of contents, I decided to add little logos in front of every assignment title, these logos represent the program used to create the project. For the about me section, I added two pictures of me and wrote a basic description of myself and my experience in digital media. After the about me, I used a two page spread for my canvas image. I did the same thing for my calligram. One of my favorite parts about my portfolio is the way that I incorporated the program logo in the two page spread design for the first two pages within each program unit. For my autoscopy, I decided to mirror the pages, with one having the title and actual autoscopy image, and the other one has the text and my inspirational images. I end with "somewhere" and my business cards, putting the InDesign logo in the top right of the business card page because they are the only project included in this portfolio that I created in InDesign. The last page is a simple contact information sheet, this sheet follows the master page design that I made for the title, table of contents, and final pages. 
    In conclusion, I learned a lot from this class, and it is cool to see it all come together. When I first started learning the programs, I has zero experience in digital media, but with the help of Professor Roundtree, I was able to learn phenomenally. I really enjoyed this class and everything about it, and I am really proud of all my work. 
    This class makes me want to take more media classes. However, even if I do not take anymore, I believe that I could use the things I learned in this class for fun in my free time or for other assignments in other classes. 

       p.s. Thank you so much for a wonderful semester professor, I hope I can take another one of your classes in the future :)

Gunderson-Somewhere

 For this assignment, we were supposed to pick a picture or movie scene, take a picture of ourselves, and then make it look like we are in the specific scene using Adobe Photoshop. For this project, I chose to photoshop myself into the car scene from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I chose this movie because it is one of my all time favorites and I love a lot of different parts about it. I incorporated my tag logo into the shirt the man on the left is wearing, warping the image so that it looks like part of the shirt. Some hard parts about this project was using the stamp tool to get rid of the guy in the background as well as using different masking layers with different opacities to match the color of the original image and the brightness of the sun coming from the left. Overall, this project took about 3 hours, was fun to make, and I liked that I got to pick what scene I was able to put myself into. I think that it is really cool that with photoshop, you can make it look

InDesign Tutorials

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka2dh5wU6Es https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVW8AF2TMnw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHDy_nEvgd4     After watching these three tutorials, I learned a lot about the program and its tools. Some of my favorite tools that I understand and would like to use are the type tool, the frame tool, the shape tool, and the page tool. All of these tools make it possible to make layouts with different texts and images. I think that these tools will be some of the most common ones that I use in my work.      I think that the hardest indesign tools that I may have to use are the scissors tool and the convert direction point tool. I think that these tools will be difficult for me to use because it is hard for me to understand when I would use them. I think that the scissor tool may be useful, but I don't think that I will have to use it in my assignments because I won't need to cut anything out of my pages. I think that the convert direction point tool was a

Gunderson Black and White to Color

Image
          In this project, we were to use Adobe Photoshop to convert a picture of ourselves into black and white. After converting our photo black and white, we were asked to add different colors to the picture, following three of the different color rules and using different selection and coloring techniques. The three color rules I chose to follow were monochromatic, triad, and square. I really liked the color combinations with my base color when I was checking out all of the different color rules, so I decided to pick these three. Overall, I really had a lot of fun making this project and I feel like it helped me learn more about arranging layers as well as masking things in photoshop. This project took me about four hours to complete and I am happy with how it came out.
