Vic's Art 210

Dear blog, this project was other that I really enjoyed. It also took me many hours of hard work.Thinking and deciding the colors, fonts and shapes was pretty awesome. I have to admit that while I was doing this project I discovered a passion inside of me. Although my major is Advertising and Public Relations, I did not know that I really liked to design logos. I put myself into this project, it really reflects who I am and the creativity I have. Before I had all the cards full of soft colors. My professor advised that they will look better if I make them darker. I took that recommendation and used the same colors in their darkest tones . I love pastel and soft colors they are really pretty; however, I did not know that they should not be used as much as I did in my cards and logos. 

Dear blog, this project is one of my favorites and I know that my professor really liked too. At the beginning it was hard, and I had to repeat it two or three times until I finally got this great result. I really like Frida Kahlo's art and poems. I feel very related to her in many ways, so she perfectly fit me in the image.The picture of myself that I chose was picked on purpose, so that this project would look amazing. Undoubtedly, one of my favorites!!

Dear blog, this project is called somewhere. I had fun while doing this one, I wanted to create something authentic. I placed myself in a vintage cafe, also I add some pills to the picture simulating that I took them and passed out. I wanted to create something dramatic. My weakness in this piece is my hair that I could not cut perfectly from the original image making it look unrealistic. Although it might look simple, I put a lot effort while creating this project, 

Dear blog here starts the Photoshop part of the class.When I finally thought that I was becoming better at Illustrator, the class moved to the utilization of Photoshop. I was so scared and sad at the beginning because I did not know how to use this application. After hours of dedication and practice, I used my creativity to create this project. I cut the image and used repetition in order to generate a profundity and modern effect. The colors I used give vibrancy and modernism to my art piece. This project is one of my favorites.

Dear blog, this one! Oh, my God. This one was really hard. I struggled a lot with this project, here it is. I do not really love it, but is the best thing I could do. I spent hours on this, the strengths of my projects are the eyes and the hair. Those are the aspects I like the most. I wanted to give to its depth; however, the task was so complicated for me. I have to admit that my skills during this period of the class were not strong enough as I wanted them to be.

Dear blog, this lamp has a special value for me. It was the first thing I bought when I arrived at The University of Tampa. I remember trying to find a place in my dorm room where it could perfectly fit. I really like the result of the project, as I consider this one to be one of the hardest. I spent hours on this one. The gradient mesh tool was hard to use at the beginning. However, after several youtube tutorials, I finally got the result I wanted. I have the original and the one created by me in Adobe Illustrator.
