Given

"Billions of years ago the ocean filled up during a giant rain storm. A fish drank so much water that it saved the world from drowning. It became so big that wherever it swam it made huge waves and changed the tides. The big fish waits for a strong and worthy opponent to free his restless spirit. Whoever catches the big fish carries the spirit of the ocean inside him. You don’t need magic to catch a big fish. You just need to follow the stars, listen to the people you meet, and chase the waves. "

This picture and quote are from one of my favorite movies, Given. This calligram took hours to complete but was completely worth it. The faces could be improved. Overall I am happy with the way that this turned out.

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".
