 This logo was sort of inspired by comics and cartoons. I liked the spray paint look and then I got the idea of coloring it like the Joker just left his mark at a crime scene. His iconic symbols are smiles and "Ha Ha" that are usually in green, red, white and purple. Then I thought of the movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In the movie, the characters are known for "glitching" because they are not in their right universes. The glitch color schemes can be seen as multiple colors, but I thought the green and purple would look good together for my logo to connect it to the joker theme I thought of at first.

Mixer Brush Tool      In this video, the mixer brush tool is used. I think this tool would be easy to use, but it could be used in a lot of cool ways. The way it can mix colors really reminds of an Apple advertisement for an IPhone or IPad. I think it is neat how the brush can mix multiple colors on the screen, sort of like how a real brush could mix colors from different colored paints. I believe making more advertisements with this tool would work out well and could attract people’s attention. Something interesting I found about this tutorial video was how the creator would highlight and zoom in on the parts of his screen he was using to give clear directions to the viewer. It was easy to follow along and anybody could understand what he was explaining. Spot Healing Brush      Another easy to use tool is the spot healing brush. This tool allows the user to remove any objects from an image with just a click and drag. This tool could be really helpful when ...

One image that brought me close to my emotions was the image of putin. I think the idea of being able to get anyone to open up is a beautiful idea no matter how they may seem. I think Putin’s picture is one of the best pictures that symbolizes Platon’s work because Platon did not look at Putin’s political life, but instead he looked at his human life. Platon likes to ask people about their lives and is able to see past certain aspects of their lives. He gets personal and completes an entire story instead of just one chapter. With Putin, he was able to talk about the Beatles and find common ground with someone who most would say is levels of importance above Platon. People, especially those who are famous and influential, may have one side of them that is overseen. Nobody is just one thing no matter how they may be portrayed and too many people have parts of themselves that are forgotten about by many outsiders. This could be dehumanizing in ways and to have someone ask about you could ...

Propaganda

My original propaganda idea was to tell people to drink chocolate milk because of how beneficial it can be for our health. My poster was inspired by a Chinese propaganda poster featuring the old Chinese leader Mao Zedong. In the original poster, Mao’s face is seen in the sun overlooking lots of sunflowers. Below the sunflowers were red words that mean something, but I do not know what they mean. To recreate this image, I started off by using the shape tool to create a rectangle to fill the page with colors to match the background. I used the gradient tool to get the exact orange and yellow that I needed. Then, in my poster I put my own face in the sun by making stars with many points to create the sun and its rays. After that I placed my own self-portrait and changed the color palette  to match the original poster. Next up, I had to make the glasses of chocolate milk, so to do this I started off making triangles and then cutting them with rectangles and pathfinder to create the sha...

Logo

Somethings that inspired me to make my logo are minimalist movie posters. I really liked the idea of creating myself as the logo while still keeping my initials a part of it. Since both the “G” and “e” are round like glasses, I thought that those letters would be a good substitution from the basic frame. The coloring done was mostly based off of my favorite colors of black, blue and purple. The last logo design was more realistic with the hair being similar in color to my own and the glasses staying black.  The way I created this was by starting off with the shape tool on adobe illustrator to create the hair out of rounded rectangles and ovals. I then moved on to the glasses by creating two black circles and two white circles. By making the white circles smaller than the black ones, I was able to create the circular shape of the letters. U sing the pathfinder and shape tools, I created rectangles that would finish out each of the letters and also connect them. Finally, I was able...
