    Welcome back, y'all! I have a new project, a new piece, and some new information to share with all of you for this week's portfolio piece. While most of my work has been new creations, I wanted to continue that trend. So, what better way than to add to my Miami Dolphins pride, even though some may hate it?

 

 

  Background time

 To start us off, I wanted to get a foundation for my poster, and you may be asking what type of poster. I wanted to give some hype to a favorite player of mine, Tyreek Hill. So I wanted to create a player poster just for him. But to start off with a poster, you need a background, and my background here is a gradient map of the team colors that I have carefully mashed up with a fantastic texture to make sure that the background doesn't feel flat when the overall poster is completed. 

 

 

 

 

 

    

 Let's get some life in this place!

     But without some images, the poster wouldn't really be about Tyreek, would it? So I went through some deep searches and some player photos to find some great images to use. Which took me a little bit, but we eventually found some. 

     With some of the images, it took me a while to decide what orientation I wanted all the images to go in, especially with most of them being great candidates to be the main subject. But evidently, I found my three, and this orientation suited the poster very well, and who could forget the whole reason why he is even here to begin with. 

  

 Who is this guy?

    What now? Well, to answer that question is to bring some text into this image to make our subject actually known, and tie the whole player poster idea together. And some nice added touches to both the images and the text. So with a lot of the hype surrounding Tyreek, his usually called the superstar of the Miami Dolphins, and this seems to be the case, especially with the talk and rumors surrounding him possibly being traded to the Steelers, and possibly the Vikings. But enough of that nonsense....

 

 

 

 

      And to conclude our whole process, let's add some well-needed features and small touches to the overall poster. Those small touches include some adjustment layers to the player images to bring the contrast and brightness of Tyreek to fruition. Some small shadows and highlights where the poster lacks in texture. And finally, a black to white gradient fill to highlight some places, while bringing the shadows in on some. With all of those combined, we get the final Image.

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.

Image
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 ...

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...
