SilkFMX210

  Dea r future Ray,     Currently I am 21 years old, and I a m in my junior year of college taking FMX 210.  I’m dating the girl that I'm going to marry and can’t wait to do so after college . Normally I’m a happy person, it takes a lot to ruin my day, and I hope future me is the same way. After I graduate, I want to marry the girl I  love,   and advertise  for a tech firm until I  can afford to start my own  business.  My goals  for today are to pay more attention to the stock market, focus on graduating on time, and to be as active as possible. While I love college, I want to get out there and work so I can start my adulthood and finally feel like I’m the one that’s controlling my life. I know that in the future I would do anything to come back to college, but for me right now  I just feel trapped. It is a blessing to be in college, but I feel like an outcast since my goals in life seem different from everybody  else's ....

    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 re...

  For this project‭, ‬I knew immediately that I wanted to do a geometric design of an animal‭, ‬but I wasn'‬t sure where to go from there‭. ‬I searched around for geometric heads to base the design off of‭, ‬and eventually I found one in black and white‭. ‬After I found it‭, ‬I immediately thought about how I wanted a psychedelic themed background with a realistic colored mane‭, ‬and that is exactly what I did‭. ‬I have never coded anything before this in my life‭, ‬so this took me over 40‭ ‬hours to complete‭. ‬In the very beginning‭, ‬this seemed like an eternity‭, ‬but after I got the hang of it I ended up enjoying coding and seeing the progress as I went along‭. ‬This project was around 1800‭ ‬lines total‭, ‬and it came out exactly how I wanted it to‭. ‬While this is a complicated and long‭ ‬way when I could have drawn something very similar to it in Illustrator in hours‭, ‬this project was literally pixel perfect‭, ‬and‭ ‬that is hard to replicate‭. ‬This took me the longest o...
