ASCII Image Introduction

 


Hello, my name is Ray Silk, and I am a junior from Boston, Massachusetts. My major is advertising / public relations with an advertising creative concentration. My goal in life is to design advertisements and promote for companies on social media, and eventually start my own business. I'm a generalist meaning I like a lot of things but don't specialize in anything, so I am not sure what business I would like to create. While I am in college, besides education I am looking for inspiration to see what my end goal will be and to find my passion in life. 

    I am excited for this class since I have always wanted to get into graphic design, but never wanted to pay for any Adobe products. I have a creative mind, but I've always had a hard time transferring my thoughts into reality, and I am hoping I am able to do that with graphic design. I expect to learn the fundamentals of graphic design, and since I know nothing about it I'm sure that I will. This is the class that I am most looking forward to even though it is difficult so I can work more with my creative mind.

 For this project, I knew almost immediately what I wanted to do for it. I love music, so I wanted to incorporate that into the project. The more I thought about it, I realized that I could have the background change colors when I put on my headphones, and that it would allow for a transition into the credits. To make this, I recorded myself walking over to my couch, turning on my sound system, and putting on bluetooth headphones and listening to music while bumping my head. Once this was done, I added an all black background and used a 4pt white brush tool for it to contrast. 40 hours later of drawing, I used the bucket tool to add all of the colors for my skin, shirt, socks, shorts, hair, and headphones, and I also added the different color backgrounds once I hit the frame where I put my headphones on and used the 5 disco hex codes to make the colors. After this, since each color was changing for 4 frames, I added 4 frames of music notes in changing sizes, and made them visible o...

 For this assignment, I knew I wanted to use my 2nd canvas for my cover page since I never got to submit it, and I wanted the theme to follow it since it was my favorite piece that I created. As soon as I opened up InDesign, I immediately went for 1/2 inch grids across every page because it gives accurate squares so I can line everything up to make the entire document symmetrical and accurate. I chose the 1/2 inch specifically since it allows me to make squares, rectangles, and spheres all perfectly shaped since I can place them evenly across sections. Once this was done, I began by placing my canvas in the center and building around it. I wanted my cover initially to look like a letter with the corners folded, but I decided to have my text make the front page symmetrical. I wanted my theme to be cyan and white and have a strong focus on consistency and symmetry, and I believe that I achieved that. This project made me realize how much work I have put in throughout this entire cour...
