Thoughts about "The Secrets of Blackmoor"
When I first started watching the documentary, I thought it would be a quick story on how the game was invented and it was something they randomly came up with. In reality, however, there was more to it than that. I like how Dave Arneson used soldier or war-like figurines (AKA Russian soldier toys) to make a little prototype of the game, and how most of the co-creators use their inspirations on how they were fascinated by caves and creatures into a game about mythical creatures, critical thinking, and problem solving. I also found interesting that it was originally called "Blackmoor" at the start before it became Dungeons and Dragons.
B&W to color
For this project i had to take a picture of myself and turn it into black and white. Then, i had to make each part of the face into color. I needed to use three color palettes and success!
Poster
For this assignment, I had to take a picture of myself, turn it into B&W and vectorize it, then remove all the white parts and turn it into a pop-style poster. I used Illustrator for this project. I had to vectorize the font as well as the white parts to remove them and then color them. I had to choose a palette using the adobe color website.
Canvas HTML code
This was one of my hardest projects. In this project, I had to try and replicate an image that I had to choose and try and recreate it by using HTML coding using Dreamweaver. It didn't exactly turn out the way I intended it to be, but at least I got it done! The bottom image is the original, and the very top image is the one I replicated using DreamWeaver.
Autoscopy
For This project, I had to take a photo that had a message as well. And for the theming of the project i chose a phone addiction that i had when i was younger, and now i regret spending all my time on my phone instead of doing something productive.
Multiplicity
For this project I had to take multiple pictures of myself and create a single photo using 6 seperate photos into one. I got my friend to take the pictures using a tripod and created a storyline. In this Picture it demonsrates a gaming competition. And since i had a switch with me, i thought it would be the perfect storyline to make.
Somewhere
For this project, I had to take a picture of myself and dress up as if I was in a movie scene. For this scene, I chose terminator because I had all the clothes and I thought It would be awesome as well. I got my roommate to take a picture of me and i traced myself using the polygonal lasso tool and added myself into the scene.
Calligram
For this assignment, I had to choose a speech representing Puerto Rico and added the words and sentences to each part I used the polygonal lasso tool using Illustrator.
Logos and business card
In this project, I had to design my own logo and pick the best one that would fit on my business card, and I chose happy because it was a design that I actually liked and preferred. It was a little hard to render it into a business card but at least I had a general idea.
