My calligram was originally a drawn picture of a tennis racquet and a ball. I used Adobe illustrator to create the words and put them into the proper design to reflect the original piece. For the grip, strings and ball, I wrote the names of what they are in there shape with the colors to match what they could be on a real tennis racquet. To bring out the body of the frame of the racquet, I wrote bold red letters that are tennis terminology with the text pen tool. I chose to do a calligram of a tennis racquet because I was very involved in my tennis team in high school and it was my favorite sport to play for as long as I can remember. I used the color scheme I did because this was the colors of my tennis racquet when I played in high school.
Feeling confident after the first Digital Arts class this past Tuesday night. While it is very easy to be intimidated by such an abundance of new material, the collaboration between myself and everyone around me help a great deal. I do not have much experience in digital arts. I am a novice in reference to my experience with photoshop. My last experience using photoshop was for my digital arts class last semester and when we had to alter a picture to make a comedic spin on the brand. That said once I am introduced to something new, it sparks an interest with me. In the upcoming semester I foresee learning an abundance of valuable tools this semester.
My future career plans are to go into the real estate industry. As of right now I am not positive as to what area of the industry I will be going into, I did get to experience the residential division in sales this summer working for a broker in Jersey City in New Jersey this summer. While connections and great client relations are a large part of that industry, I also noticed incredible attention to detail is also very helpful. This comes in handy while marketing the product, or the property. Images are an especially important aspect of our society and in the real estate industry, that is no different. Therefore, I am very interested in image touch ups and other things similar because of my interest in the real estate industry. In all, I have a great deal of interest in this subject as I see it relating to my major in a big way. I also am excited to learn a little more about the technology that we have access to when altering or creating an image. As a hopeful future business owner, technology is very important and you image is everything. As I see it technology can only supplement ones image. I am interested to see what direction this class takes and what I will learn as well as use in my college career and there after. |
