FMX 210 - Jack Dunning

  For the poster projected I was determined on using a photo from my graduation. After a pretty lengthy selection process I settled on this photo from that day about 5 months ago. I thought the picture had a great balance of bright and vibrant colors, and I loved the way the yellow piece of my hat looked against the blue of my attire. I also thought the bright pink flowers in the back were gorgeous, and the sky would be another great part of the piece. I had to find a color palette that suited most of if not all of the colors within the picture, and after looking on adobe.com, I was able to find a decent palette. The blue and golden colors matched almost perfectly to my graduation gown, and my sky blue and flower pink were also present as well. After some hard work, I finished the piece.

The only real detail that I was upset about were the eye...

  For the Calligram project I picked out a picture of my trip to Hawaii. I thought it was a good shot that had vibrant colors to follow while also exemplifying my facial features.  Here is that picture:  After working out the details of my writing and figuring out the most important pieces of my life in words, I completed the assignment and this is final project.

They are significant portions of my writing that I think stand out the most.   

For my logo project I wanted to encapsulate an idea within an image through a creative use of the word inside of a logo rather than just an object or simplistic design. When I began the project, I came up with the following words to describe myself.  Musical: My current passions are present in music. I like both composing and producing music, and I enjoy to sing and on occasion play guitar. I thought with all the symbols encapsulated in music that it would be pretty easy to find one that fit a logo design. Loving:   I believe that I am a very loving person. I enjoy spending time with those that I love and rely a lot of the relationships I have with people to keep me going throughout the day. I believe that without the ones I love, I would probably be a shell of who I am today. Witty: Probably my favorite of the choices I selected. I love the word itself and its meaning. I think it is a good description of me because although I am intelligent, a more accurate description of the...
