This week I worked on something different—building a title sequence for a made-up movie I created called Colorado. This title sequence came to me after watching a couple of nature documentary movies, and I wanted to create a special scene just like some of those that I have watched.

The vibe I had in mind was quiet and cinematic—wide open spaces, maybe a bit of mystery, and a lot of stillness. I used simple motion graphics, subtle blurs, and some textured overlays to give it that gritty, grounded feel. Finding the right font and timing the title to land with the music took the most time, but once it clicked, it really pulled the whole thing together.

Honestly, it felt good to build something from scratch like that, just for the sake of creating. No pressure, no deadline—just me experimenting with a concept I liked. Might even expand on the idea later, who knows.

Final Submission - week 4

February 05, 2026

Instructions Using Adobe Illustrator and the gradient mesh tool, create an illustrated self-portrait. 8 x 10 in @300 dpi. Export as a .png resized to 1280px wide @ 72ppi. Content This project was easily one of the most challenging assignments I’ve worked on so far. It brought together everything we’ve learned over the past few weeks while pushing me to spend more time in Adobe Illustrator, a program I’m still getting comfortable with. The goal was to create an illustrated self-portrait using the gradient mesh tool, starting from a photo of myself. From the beginning, the process felt slow and very detail-heavy, especially when it came to image tracing and breaking the portrait down into simple, clean shapes that could actually be built on. To keep the illustration manageable, I limited each main part of the portrait my face, hair, hoodie, and flannel to around three color swatches. Instead of relying on a wide range of colors,...

My Collage of my intrests!

September 13, 2025

Instructions Make a collage. Not just any collage, but one that shares your personal passion with us. Select a theme and gather at least 12 images that can be combined into a cohesive masterpiece. We are looking for an emotion (your passion) and a message (Typography is Way Cool). The challenge you face is combining the images in a visually pleasing manner. We are looking at how you make selections and blend images, your visual hierarchy, your controlled use of color, and your ability to tell a story with a single composition. Content This week’s project was a little different but honestly really fun I had to make a collage that shows off one of my personal passions and still make it feel like a polished design piece. The whole idea was to use at least twelve images and blend them together in a way that tells a story while keeping things visually interesting and under control. For me, I decided to lean into a mix of my blossoming interest in photography,...
