Calligram Inspiration

-

 I found these calligram examples particularly interesting and appealing. I love the Coke can and how words are made with different words. The sun and the hands caught my eye because of how they use fonts and text size to add curves and definition to enhance the appearance of shapes. The last two are my favorites for a few reasons. Steve Jobs is so impressive because of the amount of shading and detail that is made with words. His mustache and hair strands caught my eye first. I think that the last picture is amazing due to the illusion of perspective made by font size and color. All of these calligrams have something that I hope to include in my own project!

This is my portfolio that I created using InDesign. There are some things that I think worked really well, and other things that I will improve so I can use this portfolio in the future. After making this I really enjoyed seeing all my works together in one place. It's a fun way to see how my work has evolved and improved over the semester.

Thoughts on The History of Magnetic Recording

-
After reading The History of Magnetic Recording I began to think about modern day technology and how spoiled we are. As a young adult I have grown up with wireless internet, videos and movies at my fingertips anytime I want, music in my hands constantly, and I don't have to wait for any of it. The first sound recorder had a steel wire and now we can record sound, and videos, anywhere at anytime. The progress of technology amazes me. Without the advances of technology I would not be able to express my creativity in the ways that I do in Art 210! This reading was posted in 2004 and in the last section mentions that video cassettes will be with us for awhile. I wonder if this idea was revisited today if the writer would consider the time that we used video cassettes as a long time or if the evolution came faster than expected.

Animation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_4X6r2pIXo This is a YouTube link to my final animation project. This project used photos and videos of me doing my favorite things in my favorite places. The places in this animation include: Colorado, Vermont, Grand Cayman, and Malaysia. This 45 second animation was created using Photoshop. Each frame was created at 0.01 seconds. It uses many elements that I learned throughout my time in Digital Media class, including Rotoscopy. The audio for this project was created using Garage Band and includes sound effects, looped beats, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Snow".
