Portfolio

Above is my portfolio. It was a difficult assignment for me because I felt InDesign was difficult to use. It is nice to have a portfolio though!

Animation

Above is my animation. I used the song Master of None by Beach House as my inspiration. I had some technical trouble making this video, but overall it was enjoyable to create!

Above is my collage. I was inspired by one of my favorite songs called Master of None by Beach House. I interpret the message of that song as no matter how beautiful you are, you cannot balance drugs, wealth, or aging and still be happy. You can go to all the parties, but you will only achieve a fleeting happiness before it all goes up in smoke.

Magazine Cover

Above is my magazine cover. I chose to do a music themed magazine as music is something I'm passionate about, but I can never find a music magazine that writes about the music I'm into. I very much enjoyed using Photoshop to create this assignment.

Photoshop

Above is my photoshop assignment of somewhere I've never been. Accepting an Oscar with Marlon Brando is definitely somewhere I've never been but would like to!

HTML Logo

Above is the screenshot of the Beats logo I created using HTML. Below is the link to view the image on the web,

Below is the code I used to create this image as well as the graphed image.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");

////////////////////////////////////// start below this line ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ

context.beginPath();
context.arc(300, 300, 300, 0, 2*Math.PI, true);
context.fillStyle = 'rgb(255, 0, 0)';
context.fill();

context.beginPath();
context.arc(300, 300, 150, 0, 2*Math.PI, true);
context.fillStyle = 'rgb(255, 255, 255)';
context.fill();

context.beginPath();
context.rect(150.3, 9, 75, 310);
context.lineWidth = '10';
context.fillStyle = 'white';
context.fill();

context.beginPath();
context.arc(300, 300, 87.5, 0, 2*Math.PI, true);
context.fillStyle = 'rgb(255, 0, 0)';
context.fill();

Vector Illustration

Above is my vector illustration. I chose to do my illustration using a reference image of my mom when she was young. This was quite a time consuming process, and I'm not sure if saving it as a GIF was the highest-quality option. However, I quite like how it tuned out. Thanks for the pic, mom! Looking good.

Calligram

Above is my calligram, which is the yellow submarine from the Beatle's movie Yellow Submarine. I chose to compose it using lyrics from my two favorite songs from the movie, "Baby You're a Rich Man" and "It's All Too Much". I'm really proud of this project, it was very time consuming but I think it was all worth it!

Assignment 2: Logo Critique

Compare and contrast 2 icons or symbol-driven logos of two different companies who sell similar products, or sell products to a similar target audience. For example, McDonalds' golden arches versus Burger King's burger-shaped logo, or Firefox vs. Chrome vs. Opera vs. Internet Explorer, or Maya vs 3D Studio Max, or Nintendo vs. Sega vs. Sony vs. Microsoft, or Facebook vs. Twitter, Tumblr vs Instagram, etc. Choose two companies, post their icons on your blog along with your analysis on their effectiveness and critique of their design choices. Which one do you feel is more successful? Why?

Above are the app logos for American Airlines and Allegiant Airlines, respectively. I chose these icons because I fly frequently, and these apps are always on my phone and they are right next to each other. The logos are trying to reach flyers as their target audience, and I feel the American Airlines logo appeals more to the sophisticated first class flyer, whereas the allegiant is targeting the thrifty flyer. I feel each logo is reaching and appealing to their target audience. I think the American Airlines logo is successful because it is sleek, and uses no text. This shows that they are confident in their brand, and that it targets people who fly so often that they don't need text to explain which airline it is, because they can recognize the logo. Allegiant's on the other hand is mostly text, so that new flyers know immediately which airline it is, because they are probably new and aren't familiar with airlines. I like both color choices, I think they both work nicely and are appealing. I am more partial to the sleek styling of the American Airlines logo. In summary, I think the American Airlines logo is the winner because of the superior styling and confidence in their brand recognition.

Assignment 1

Assignment 1 (Due Class 2 - 8/31): Blog
Go to blogger.com and create your own blog for this class. Make one post on your blog that introduces you, describes who you are, what you do and what you expect from this class.

A Bit About Me:

My name is Jetta Taylor. I am originally from Princeville, Illinois - a tiny town in central Illinois. When I say tiny I mean that there were 56 kids in my graduating high school class. After graduation I set my sights on the big city and getting as far away from Princeville as I could. I moved to Portland, Oregon and began studying at Portland State University, where I majored in Advertising. While there I volunteered at the student-run radio station, KPSU, and worked for the Student Health and Counseling Center organizing articles for an online health promotion magazine. After my freshman year I decided I wanted to be closer to family, so I moved to Florida where my dad recently relocated, and now here I am at the University of Tampa majoring in Advertising and Public Relations.

Class Expectations:

I am excited to be taking Art 210! I expect to be proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator by the end of this semester. I also expect to gain some more artistic abilities and skills that I do not have now. I love art and have taken some art classes in the past, so I know there are always many new things to learn. I love finding a new way to look at things, a new way to really see things, and to me that is what art is all about.
