Calligram Project



Hours: 8 est.

My calligram is inspired by my favorite poem, "'Hope' is the Thing with Feathers" by Emily Dickinson. It was published in 1891 but believed to have been written in 1861.

I knew I wanted to create a bird but I did not really know where to start. I ended up starting with the tail and working my way up. The  hardest part was the wings, as I had a hard time making them look natural. However, I think it is pretty obvious that this is a bird.

I did not honestly really enjoy this project, but I think that is because I am still adjusting to Illustrator. When I become more familiar with the program, I will enjoy using it.

Business Cards

                                                                                                               These are my three business cards to represent my design business. I really enjoyed this project because I loved playing with themes and color schemes for each design. InDesign is a little different than Illustrator and Photoshop, but I enjoyed using it. All together, I am very happy with my business cards. I would give these out to represent myself at any time and I would be proud.

For this project, I placed myself in Bikini Bottom. When using the quick selection tool on the picture of myself walking, I made sure to include my shadows in order to make the final outcome more realistic.  When I was a kid, I always wanted to go to Bikini Bottom, and now I have finally gotten to go. Overall, I am very happy with the final outcome.

For my first time using any motion tools on Photoshop, I think that this turned out very well. The coffee is pouring into a mug, and as it loops it looks very fluid.  I added adjustment layers in order to create a better contrast between the coffee and the black Keurig, so that the coffee can be seen more clearly. Overall, I am very pleased with the final outcome.
