Creativity exercise (Digital Image editing)- Week 1

 

 

            Welcome once again. To my blog! I'm glad you can make it, today I got some cool stuff to talk to you guys about. Enough of me blabbering I  want to get straight to the action and straight to fun stuff In today's little research day I wanted to do something completely different for this week. And what may be this different thing? You may ask. Don't worry I'll touch on it right now.
            

    This week's creativity exercise is a special one cause I have little experience in this sort of format of exercise. They mostly include doing real-life paper type of exercises and not a lot of the digital type of things. But with today's little research, I wanted to go back into my roots and try to warm myself up to the Adobe side of things, especially with all that is going to happen this week. This week's exercise is an Adobe Illustrator exercise!
       

     The Adobe exercise that I came upon was kind of a cool and fun-looking one. The training consists of you grabbing any image, whether it may be from your phone, a camera, or even online. And what to do with this image is very straightforward. Draw on it. Just draw on it, with any tool, any brush, use any shape, use anything that your heart desires on the image. What I can say from this is that it is so MUCH FUN! This has been one of the best things that I have ever taken to Illustrator, and I just wanted to do the same with a Photoshop swing on things. With taking the same image and just going lunatic with all the tools on the image. What I can describe to you with the result of the image, is it was completely different from its original. All the different expressions with the filters all the different uses of brushes, the shapes that were added behind and in front of the subject and the background was all just different. I've never really had a type of moment of the event in my Photoshop or Illustrator journey where I just went ballistic with filters, and tools. It has always been a more concise, and organized form of work whenever I do anything in Photoshop. But being able to just let myself go, and just express different things all with the work of tools, and filters, and just different adjustments to one image and looking back at it is honestly some of the best work I've ever made.        

    But looking back at the exercise as a whole I never really realized that this is the same kind of work any artist would do for abstract work or splash painting. The beginning of this exercise was first kind of taken as a joke mainly just to see what I could fully make out of a boring image and fully transform it into a mashup of colors, words, and shapes. To make it all out, it was crazy. Just a crazy time to just sit and do random things to a picture until it all fits together like a scrambled puzzle.

     Today's exercise brought me a lot of different feelings. And It has the same effect on your guys, as it had on me. As always I appreciate you guys taking the time to tune in and hopefully, I see you guys next time. On the next one! 👋

Designing Emotion- Week 2

Image
                       Hello everyone! Today I was tasked with a assignment that I would hold as one of my most challenging so far. This weeks project was orientated around emotion. To me emotion is one of the harder features that I struggle with as a designer. Emotion has been some of my greatest hurdles when it comes to designing, the thought process, the layer scheme, the image choice, the whole aspect what the emotion has to revolve under. But this weeks task was only to pick a song to design your piece around, and contact mainly on the emotion is gives off.               When it came down to main choice that I wanted to revolve around, my playlists are a mashup or every genre under the sun. My main motto when it comes to music is "If it sounds good, I'll like it" and ive stuck with that for most of my life. But that was just one of the many little hurdles that I got ov...

My Colleague.

Instructions Visual Voice Inventory.  Create a collage or slide show of 8–10 pieces of your past creative work (photos, drawings, designs, etc.). Analyze them as a set: Write down the first words or feelings that come to mind for each piece, then look for patterns. Do certain adjectives repeat? Do you see a consistent color scheme or subject matter? Next, ask a friend or classmate to view the collection and describe what they  feel  is  your  voice or style. Compare it with your own impressions. This inventory will help you identify elements that already make your voice distinctive. Based on this, list three qualities you  want  to emphasize more in your voice (for example: “playful humor,” “bold contrast,” “compassion for outsiders”). This list becomes a conscious target for your future projects.  Content   Reflection   Time Made Visible. Mesmerizing, Temporal, Distorted    Rain  Moody, Dreamy, Quiet ...

 Instructions   1 - Either A - Create a poster for an event, cause, or product that shows your understanding and application of Empathy, Composition, and Storytelling principles. Or B - Recreate a poster or Design that you have previously done, showing your understanding and application of Empathy, Composition, and Storytelling principles. 2- Create a detailed blog post that describes your visual choices and how you applied what you learned in Chapters 1-4 to make this poster tell a story.  Poster  For this project, I had the chance to create a poster of a movement, cause, or event of my liking. Or to recreate an old project of mine. At first I wanted to try and redefine and recreate one of my old projects, but looking back I don't really have any impactful type of creations..... But that's no worry. The image you see is made after a mental awareness movement. Since Men's Mental Awareness month recently passed past I wanted to try and give it a go with an organiza...
