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.

  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 ...

 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...

Final Portfolio

 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...
