6.3.2 Design Iteration

For the iteration of the portfolio I did the first few parts that I have thought about doing in the beginning for this project and I think that it does look good so far. I took the liberty of using snippets or cropped out parts from the original projects, then reshaped them to fit inside of each of the squares. Blending in the pictures with the squares took sometime to edit, but I like I was able to transition from the first project all the way down to the fifth project. From there I took each of them and sized them up even smaller and tried to position them to fit on to one square that which of course left some space in that square. I haven’t figured out yet what I wanted to do in that last part, but I am sure that I could come up with something that would get fill in that last remaining spot of that square. In the very last square I had decided to make it the end piece for the QR code that would link to the digital archive that I am in the process of creating that should contain all of the content that I had for all of the projects that has led up till now.

5.3.2 Design Iteration

So I was successful in combining the photos that I wanted to use. Even though I chose a lot of photos for this project I was proud of the way that it came out because of the use of the editing programs. I even tried to include myself in the photo but the problem was just having myself show up in the collage which was difficult. I tried different edits on getting myself to blend in but they did not do the trick of what I wanted in the picture. I was hoping that I could get myself included in the photo, but it was so difficult that I had to scrap that idea. This did set me back a little because I wanted it to turn out very nice with me included. I was happy that at least that the pictures were able to combine together in some way. These were pictures that I personally liked because each of them show a little bit of culture for each of the countries that I wanted to visit. Now in the end I just need to make the picture look even more nicer with some blending and editing that will make it look really nice.

4.3.2 Design Digital Round Robin

Now comes that part of the project which is the round robin in which we are assigned number and we are that number for the order. For the first round we had been assigned the number already, so after uploading the finished product it came out to be that we had to download the photo of the person that is the next number. That is when we get work done by adding on pictures onto the picture that was prepped before hand all we had to do was add in photos that suited the concept of the picture well. The main thing is to get the concept of the pictures to match even though we are limited on the sight of the full picture so we had to go off based on what we can see on the picture. During the first round I found some pictures that suited the concept of the photo because they looked suitable for the concept. Then when the second round robin came in it was the same thing finding pictures that were suitable for the concept of the scan. These are some of the photos that I had used for the round robin I thought it was fun this part of this project seeing my other classmate scans and artworks.

3.3.2 Design Iteration: Mandala

This project is an interesting one because it is a real challenge for me using a variety of different shapes to be able to make my concept come to life. The thing that I saw when it comes to doing this project it is important to know that we need to make it as best way that we can do for the project to become a true artwork. For my iteration when I saw my concept I tried to think about what kinds of shapes I could use and how I could create the flowers that I have drawn in my concept. Before I began to making the initial iteration I puzzled a lot on what kind of shapes I could use and what techniques I could do to manipulate the shapes to make them into the appropriate shapes that could make the images that I wanted to use for my project. In the end, what came out of making the shapes and also adding a few smaller graphics into it to make it look nicer. It may look more complicated but I think that these little images gives the picture a little more flare before the actual coloring.

2.3.2 Design Iteration: Blackbird

The Blackbird is an interesting art work that is being created. It has to use a template but for me I chose to do something that is different from my concept drawing I wanted to see how it is combining my different concepts together to see how it turns out. When I first thought of the concept for this project I thought of what each stanza should look like with each concept trying to match along with the stanzas. Now this is just the beginning part of the project I am going to try to clean up the outside of it and add in the blackbird and mountain to keep with the concept. This project is a real mind twister because I are using letters to make this artwork come to life. I think that the project really test on how we can be able to utilize something that is different from what we were comfortable doing. This is because it tests my knowledge of how I could be able to do an artwork in a different way. The one thing that I definitely want to do is make this project look as best as it can and relate to the poem as well.

1.3.2 Design Iteration: rDNA

When it came to the project I have thought about different combinations of words that I could use for my project, just when I decided to think of one thing another thing comes into mind. Different concepts definitely came into mind when I was thinking about the different kinds of things ideas came. Then I started searching things related to anime and then I saw all of these nice pictures and gifs of anime related things. That is when I thought this is the concept that I should go for my project. I didn’t have a solid foundation but I did find a good amount of photos and gifs that I would use for the project. There are more photos that I would like to use for the project along with some nice transitions that could be used to make it better. The other thing that would be suitable would be the track. I do not have a track in mind that I thought would be suitable for my project but I would keep searching for one with a nice piano track to it, but I am trying out different concepts for that also. In the end, this is just the beginning of the project with much improvements that could be made.
