Digital Art Blog

 Making my portfolio website was highly reminiscent of my art blog. It's just as customizable, but with the addition of the resume. I worried adding the photo was unprofessional, so I included the link to the document for reference. The program for making the portfolio website was odd- nothing like blogger, but It sectioned itself in separate boxes for customization. It was clunky but efficient. I tried to maintain the black and white collage image I added to my portfolio book for continuity. I use that image a lot for my headers now, but it didn't fit the aesthetic or the professional outlook of the overall website. I was going to pick another project I had done for this class, but I felt that I had already decided on the best work overall. I don't think any other project I had done was a better representation of the diversity in the digital medium. In other news, I should put greater attention into putting more work into my cumulative portfolio. I searched for different e

       This week I had to tackle my portfolio again, but this time with this class! Before I compiled my work, I scrolled through the portfolios they had on the website, and I was more than surprised to see the number of artists with a wide range of selections in their portfolios. I suddenly remembered why I had to take this Three-dimensional course for my major- it’s to display that you have the capability and flexibility necessary for the arts. I have to take it upon myself not to master but understand that there are different mediums to work with and that I’m not confined to just one area of expertise. While I can specialize in that field, I can also show a greater understanding if I am more versatile.      Going back to my portfolio, I wanted to make sure I caught my best work, including the various photography assignments, the animation, and the photoshopped work I had done for this class. I was afraid of copyright issues for the Imagine video, so I decided to go with my calcifer

  Making the video for this particular project was tough, but I was familiar with one. I always mention my film classes, but it was my only experience with a decent video editor. The project I did was similar, too- we had to pick a song and visualize the lyrics through visuals. I chose NGHFB’s Dying of the Light and various scenes from Richard Ayoade’s film,  Submarine . I think there was also clips from End of the F***ing World in there... it's been awhile. In high school, I didn’t use stock footage at all. Instead, I decided that it'd be a good idea to use copyrighted movies-But now, knowing better, I did my new video entirely with stock footage. (I’ll include the video I did back in high school below, along with my final video for this project for comparison) I chose John Lennon’s Imagine out of the three songs for this new one. This song is heavy in tone, to which I could probably have this slow, melancholy mood but pick up when the chorus starts, and it has fast cuts. Sinc
