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.

Conclusion.

     Over the years, my style of design has changed from not only where I was just a lowly beginner to Photoshop all the way to where I am now. A lot of my designs stem from more brutalist and emotional images, and my best way to design around them is to further push that agenda and create an emotional piece based on it. Not only have I done this for my static image designs, but I want to further take this into my video edits as well. I really do love the way I design now, especially with all that I have learnt and the way I criticize and push myself to perfect my designs.

    But for my future self, and future designs I would like to take more risks in not only my design layouts, but in my subject and projection choice. Not only do I want to change my design structure I want to continue introducing a play of words in more of my designs, cause a great design can really be tied together with a clean typography. Finally, I want to emphasize my visual contrast, as I have gained a great understanding of how to make my images and designs stand out and not have any lacking features. I feel that I have yet to master, and I will continue to push myself to that point for not only my photos, designs, videos, and effects.

Outside Perspective 

 And with seeking a separate perspective on my work, I asked our great friend ChatGPT to help me out, and this is what it had to say.

"This body of work feels like a visual diary or manifesto—a series of visual meditations on emotion, identity, presence, and transformation in a digital world. Alexis seems to blend design, photography, and conceptual art to speak about what it means to exist in fragments—as an emotional being, a digital persona, a memory, and a body constantly in motion or reflection."

"It's poetic, experimental, and likely auto-biographical, with intentional ambiguity that invites the viewer to find their own truth in the distortion."

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...

 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...
