Amy's Art Dump

I like the idea of a propaganda project a lot, I just hope it doesn't start any actual arguments in class. Gun violence has always been pretty important to me living in the south and going through conservative schooling. Sadly it's really easy to come up with victim statistics now. I was kinda nervous going out to print something political, but the lady there said she really liked the message. That made me feel a little better about my work.

I really liked the idea of creating logos for fake companies in this project. Although, it was a bit difficult to want to use the 3d effects since I'm more biased to cartoony, flat images. I'm not sure if it's anything I'd want to pursue career wise, but it was interesting to play with the effects. The hardest part was praying that my computer wouldn't crash while rendering. That and having to talk to the person at the copy place.

Working on a calligram for the first time was pretty intimidating at first, but I enjoyed how the end result turned out. Illustrator in general is a bit wonky to use but hopefully I can get used to it. I did it in color originally, but liked the gray scale a bit better, so i ended up just uploading both.

First project of the semester made using Dreamweaver. I was really excited hearing that this was the first assignment, since coding was one of my favorite classes and I already have experience with html. I almost wish the rest of the class had more coding projects planned in the future, but at the same time it's extremely stressful. The entire program corrupted itself towards the end and I almost lost everything. That's probably an omen.

Hi, my name is Amy Barnett and this blog was created for the purpose of uploading the completed projects from my digital media class. While I'm still rather nervous about the concept of a graded art class, I really enjoyed the atmosphere created on the first day and I'm excited to see what the rest of the class holds. I hope this class aides to strengthen my own skills in art and visual design, as well as help decide if the digital arts program is right for me. I'm also hoping this class can help me decide what kind of career path I'll want to head down since, at the time being, I actually have no idea what to do with my life. As mentioned earlier, my name is Amy. I spend most of my time drawing or playing video games, and don't really have a life of my own. I've been drawing for around 8 years and run my own web comic on deviant art. It's not very popular, but it's the thought that counts. If art doesn't work out as a full time career option, I...
