Somewhere Project

 For this project, I immediately asked my girlfriend for advice since she is more of a movie person than I am and my memory is horrid. We were discussing comedies since we joke around all the time, and she reminded me about the Hangover, and as soon as she said that I knew what I was going to do. I asked her to use make up to make me have a black eye and be covered in lipstick, and she helped me look trashy and washed up. After this, I had to find the perfect picture, have her take a picture of me outside to match the lighting, and combine the images and add filters and additional shadows to certain areas. Here is the final result after all of this:

    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
