BW To Color Project

    For this project, I used a photo of myself from a photo shoot that me and my girlfriend went to on a farm, and I chose it because of the pattern on my shirt and clarity of the image, so I figured it would be important to use this since it would be helpful in avoiding bleeding of colors. Attached below is the original image as well as the three palettes that I used. I used the specific colors in this way because they looked the most inhumane and were contrasting to my original image.

    I began this project by making a list of the first 5 words that came to my mind in order to describe myself. The words that immediately popped into my head were introverted, passive, quiet, positive, and relaxed. Once I accomplished this step, I went online to find inspiration for designs that I could make myself that would be simple and versatile. While I am no artist, my goal was to design something that was basic enough where if I drew it, I would be able to get the image from my mind onto paper and be able to transfer my ideal design into illustrator.      While drawing the designs, I realized that I enjoyed the style of being symbolic while incorporating the word that I am attempting to describe into the design, so that was my goal while making the drawings. When I was on my third word, I began to realize that my designs instead of being unique were focusing too much on trying to incorporate the word into the design and not the design itself. After I realized this, I changed t

 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 on th

  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 a
