A Dosage of Brianna Simone

-- Here is my portfolio! I am so proud of all the work I have done! Thank you Professor Santiago for pushing me to do my best! :) 

My animation is entitled “The Super Run.” The first 30 frames are me as a human being. Then, as the animation progresses I turn into a superhero. My superpower is running! Photoshop has so many tools that do a great job of transforming your ideas and I am glad that I was able to bring this one to life. Check out the youtube video of my animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LcLzDyjXGs&feature=youtu.be

Here are some of the GIFS from my animation!   

  This depiction of myself shows the strength that I have when weathering a storm. The flowers represent my positivity while the lightning represents the bad that is taking place. My favorite part of the Autoscopy project was playing with the filters! Filters can really enhance and drastically change your image. I didn't realize photoshop had so many tools! It was cool to expand my knowledge even more by doing this project! 

It was cool to see the minor differences in each quality!  Quality: 100% Quality: 75% Quality: 50% Quality: 25%  Quality: 0%  

  Here is the starting picture I used for my Autoscopy project! 

 This project took a lot of prior planning to get the desired outcome. I love music, so I decided to showcase that here. I thought switching outfits would characterize each duplicate of myself. Here are my depictions:  ~  An audience member applauding the singer ~ Piano player providing accompaniment  ~ A musician reading sheet music ~ A couple initiating a dance 

I used the same image from the 'Poster Project' for this project! It is really cool to see your images transform in diverse ways!   

  Mr. Santiago gave me really perspective feedback that made my poster come to life. He added the outlines around the face and switched the colors!  

Here is my final poster! The message, of course, is my recurring theme of self-empowerment! Outlining the face would have made the poster come to life, but overall I am very proud of the product!   

  This version of my final poster is inspired by Alica Keys' album cover entitled 'ALCIA.' There is something so natural and effortless about this cover that I felt compelled to tie it in with this project. Not to mention the songs on this album are so beautiful.  Check out a cover I did for a song in this album♥

  I am very proud of this photo. I was able to take it myself and convert it into a black & white image. Turning it black & white added depth to the photo! I even used this photo as a headshot for a modeling agency (and they offered me an audition)! Needless to say, I owe it to this class for bringing me out of my comfort zone. 

I incorporated all of the meaningful words from my 'letter to myself' into this image and used the actual 'letter to myself' for the background. I stuck to my recurring theme of empowerment♥  

 

  My Empowerment Selfie  For all the African American women out there don't be afraid to embrace your natural beauty. What I see in this picture is a strong Black woman embracing her afro, her lips, her eyes, her nose; ♥EVERYTHING that makes her BEAUTIFUL♥ 

Business Chic! Would love to use these business cards in the future! Possibly for my own business :)  

It was cool to see my logos come to life on the primitive shapes! The blue shapes give off a fun and artsy vibe while the black shape represents a matte or formal feel. The black one showed how versatile my logo is which made me very proud!   

  Hearts have always been a 'passion' of mine. Both are representative of each other. Using Illustrator, I was able to create a simplistic logo with my two favorite items. 

Here is the finished product of my Canvas project. I struggled a lot in the beginning, to understand how to use it, but after hours of practice, I finally felt comfortable with using code to draw this! I want to send a positive message to all the beautiful Black queens out there!  My Code:  var mygrad = context.createLinearGradient (100,100, mouseX, mouseY); mygrad.addColorStop(0, "rgba(235,0,255,1.00)"); mygrad.addColorStop(0.25, "rgba(255,0,236,1.00)"); mygrad.addColorStop(0.5, "rgba(191,0,255,1.00)"); mygrad.addColorStop(0.75, "rgba(191,0,255,1.00)"); mygrad.addColorStop(1, "rgba(255,0,223,1.00)"); context.beginPath(); context.rect(0,0,640,640); context.closePath(); context.fillStyle = mygrad; context.fill(); // HAIR //context.drawImage(img1, 0, 0, 640, 640); var hairgrd = context.createRadialGradient(333,356,50,333,356,150) hairgrd.addColorStop(0, "rgba(0,0,0,1.00)");   hairgrd.addColorStop(0.5, ...
