 This logo was inspired by my grandfather. He taught my dad all about the stars and constellations throughout his life and now that he is gone, my dad passes this knowledge onto me. This is a big part of who I am. The top logo is black and white, the black cloud to represent the night time, when the stars are brightest. The second logo is orange and green because these colors represent tranquility, which are the feelings I get from looking up at the stars. The third logo is brown and dark blue to capture the trust and stability that the stars hold since they are always there whether you can see them in the daytime or not. The last logo is light blue and yellow because they are European signs of happiness and soothingness because my grandfather was of full European descent as his father moved from Italy to the U.S. on his own so it feels very fitting.

 This is my final product for the calligram project. It was inspired by my love for hiking and the woods. A lot of my creativity and inspiration for the way I live my life has come from the nature I grew up around so I wanted that to be reflected in my project to always keep in mind my beginnings as I embark on my future. The tools I used was primarily the warp text tool. I used this along with the darker green tones to give the look of pine needles that come together to make pine trees. I used different shades of blue rectangles in the background to give depth and I used opacity to help them blend together. Overall, I am proud of this project because it reflects what inspires me everyday. My letter to my future self:

Text Tool (link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EwMxIc2RTk) :       This tool seems mostly straightforward and easy, much like text tools in other medias such as photoshop, google slides etc. To get a basic text box of any size, you just click on the "T" icon on the left and drag diagonally until you have the box of your liking. This can be used to put any kind of title, statement, or general wording throughout my project. Also, this tool has many other unique uses which may be a little bit more difficult to maneuver at first. Point type is one of these features and how it works is just by clicking a spot on the screen, your text will pop up there without you needing to make a text box. You can also make text in a shape, the example she shows is in a rectangle, the words follow the perimeter of the box which is very cool and I would love to incorporate that into one of my projects.

       Above is my final product. I am very proud of how it came out! This is my first time coding and it was definitely a rough start. It took me a total of 8 hours to complete this design.      This design was inspired by one of my favorite bands, Sublime. I really connect with their music and this album cover (shown below) from their "40 oz. to freedom" album is an image that has stuck with me ever since I saw it for the first time. I knew I wanted to create something at least loosely inspired by it so the paper shown below that is my own interpretation of the original art. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/57/Sublime40OztoFreedomalbumcover.jpg Original Sketch:      A did run into a big obstacle during this project. This happened when I was making all 9 of my rays, coming off of the center circle. I had been making them by putting two separate bezier curves next to each other and then connecting them at the ends. This worke...

     Internet is, by definition, a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols. This means that it is like a huge technology spider web that connects all computers and databases. Internet was a massive project that dozens of scientists had a part in. Each of these scientists then merged their newly developed features and technologies to form what we know today as the internet. Two names listed as the "inventors" or "fathers" of the internet are Bob Kahn, an American electrical engineer, and Vint Cerf, an American developer.      The Internet was originally used as a government weapon. The United States began using the Internet during the Cold War in order to communicate and shared data with one another. This is similar to what we use the internet for today but it is so easily accessible and even difficult to avoid that everyone is ab...

     So far in FMX 210-1, I am excited to being our learning! In high school I took photography classes and we used photoshop often. I really enjoyed those classes so I cannot wait to use that software again. It will be nice to use my creativity and create art through coding too since I am not the most gifted artist by hand drawing. I hope to gain some artistic skills through this class and expect to leave it with a great understanding and capability of using software and some coding skills!      A little bit about me is that I am from Medfield, Massachusetts. I was born in Boston and have lived in the suburb of Medfield for the first 18 years of my life. In my hometown, I took up hobbies like theater, volunteering, hiking, and Girl Scouts! I was a part of my high school's theater society and was the secretary my senior year! I did not sing or dance but I acted on stage and was the Stage Manager for the musicals behind the scenes. It was an incredible commu...
