Canvas Project

 


Isabella Franjione

Time for completion: 9 hours

        My piece of art is a somewhat cubist version of Patrick Star, from the hit television show Spongebob Squarepants. I used the cubism style of art as an inspiration, so that I could incorporate more shapes into the piece, rather than just a lot of lines. I decided to present Patrick in the cubist manner and give him his iconic green shorts that he is always wearing. My favorite technique that I got to use in this project was the bezier curves because they were very difficult to implement, but I knew I needed them to make Patrick’s shorts really pop. The bezier curves were vital to my success in this project, I do believe. 


Growing up, Spongebob was a television show that I would watch daily, as I had an obsession with it. I knew from the moment this project was assigned that I wanted to do a character from the show. This project took me nine hours to complete, and it seemed to me like the time really flew by, especially because those bezier curves took me hours to get right. Even the quadratic curves that I used for Patrick’s arms took me a long time to get exactly how I wanted them. I ended up really enjoying this project, however, which surprised me because coding is definitely not my thing. I think the background is nice, too, as I went with a blue gradient to symbolize how he lives under the sea. Overall, I think this project was a success and I enjoyed the coding involved.

Autoscopy Project

Image
  Estimated time to complete: 1 hour               My initial inspiration for this project was that I feel like sometimes I have my head in the clouds. I feel like I am a daydreamer, and I always find myself staring into "space." When I do catch myself staring into space, I like to think about aliens. I have always though aliens were so cool and we barely know what life exists on our planet, so I definitely do feel like there has to be some form of life on other planets. I also wanted to play with the idea that I like to stare into "space," by using some elements from space, such as the UFO and aliens. I thought this would be clever.                I had to use many different tools to get this project completed how I wanted it to be, such as the quick selection tool to make all of my masks. I had to make four different masks for myself, both aliens, and the UFO. I also added adjustment layers to everything to make the colors exactly how I wanted them. I also had to

Business cards

Business card 1 (front to back): Business card 2 (front to back): Business card 3 (front to back):          Estimated time to complete: 2 hours          For my business cards, I decided to do three different color versions all with my three different color logos with colors that I chose because I think they are aesthetically pleasing. I really enjoyed doing this project because now that I am so familiar with photoshop and illustrator, a lot of the tools are the same or very similar in indesign. I had to use many different tools, such as the frame tool to put my logo in every page, many different layers so I could keep track of all my backgrounds, text, and images, and also the rectangle tool to create my backgrounds. I also played with the opacity for mainly the backs of my business cards by turning down the opacity, so it looks like the back of a business card.           For my first business card, I really wanted to use the idea that the words were kind of shooting out of the needle

Self Portrait Propaganda

Image
  Total time for completion: about 4 hours      The basic idea of my self portrait was to display a happy image of myself by using and combining different shapes and tools in adobe illustrator. The idea that I chose for the propaganda aspect of the project was “stop and smell the roses,” because I think it is important to enjoy life while you are living it. Some tools I had to use for this project include the shape builder tool, which helped me combine shapes to create the look that I wanted, and it also helped me create the shadow on my face. I wanted to include my freckles in the portrait because I feel like they are an important aspect of who I am, and they make me, me. As far as the propaganda goes, this saying is important to me because I tend to get really caught up in the hard work of life, that I forget to enjoy it. I really tend to forget to just have fun and enjoy life because I am too focused on schoolwork or what I need to do everyday to be successful. The saying “stop an
