Self Portrait/Propaganda Poster

When I created my personal logo I felt that it was my favorite project so far in this course. Since creating this assignment I feel that this is actually my favorite completed project so far. I chose a photo of myself from a side angle which made me more comfortable working on my own face, yet I still had investment in the project because I was working on me. For my quote I chose to make this poster inspirational rather than propaganda and chose the quote “Dance first, think later.” This quote is about free thinking, going through life unapolagetically and not over thinking any of your decisions. The background is inspired from the original photo because of the cloud background but when I look at it I also see a sort of ‘head in the clouds’ look which goes with the posters theme. I feel connected to this poster because it is me but also because it represents me and that is why it is my favorite creation so far.

Portfolio

Upon completing my final portfolio for Digital Media Studio I cannot help but reflect on the last semester. As an artist I have certainly grown in directions I did not think I would excel in, and failed in areas I thought would come easily. The work that I created throughout the semester showed me that I do not have to stick to a personal 'style' when being creative, which was how I used to create art. I wanted to make this portfolio simple so that the projects inside of it stand out as unique, individual pieces. A clean look is achieved by using few fonts in consistent sizes, and leaving plenty of white space on each page. The color scheme is taken from the cover and introduction images, otherwise the background is completely grey and white. I did not struggle with this project for any particular reason but did become more efficient in using and understanding tools in Indesign.

Personal Logo

For my logo I continued the theme of the butterfly symbol in my projects. The butterfly symbolizes change, and I am constantly changing and seeking change as a person. I also incorporated the Pisces sign by making a horizontal line as the body, rather than a traditional vertical shape. I have always felt very connected to the Pisces sign since I was born on the first day, February 19. My color choices all embody large characterisitics about myself such as femininity (pink), creativity (blue), and happiness (yellow). I started this project off with a very simple and 2D looking butterfly shape. After some helpful critiques this idea morphed into a butterfly taking flight, so the shape has more dimension and movement to it. Lastly I used the neon design for the final copies because I think it is very unique and playful just like my personality. To me using this design was critical to the overall message I want to get across in a personal logo. This has been my favorite project so far
