  Artist Statement: I didn’t want to go extremely detailed with my business card designs, but I knew there was a limit to how simple I could make them.  I decided to try and stick to a blue color palette for my business cards as I didn’t want to try and commit too hard to both colors that I featured in my logos, blue and green.  I feel like the constant clashing of colors would’ve hurt the designs more than helped them.  I needed to commit to one and I chose blue because of how much better I imagined it would look, although I did make green the main focus of the second business card.  The green, in my opinion, would’ve looked silly.  I like all the designs with my favorite either being one of the first two designs.  I don’t think I would ever actually produce a business card that looks similar to card design #3.  If I absolutely had to pick a card design, I would probably choose the first one.

  I downloaded a random file of times square and went with it being the subject of my postcard project.  These are the final designs.  I made the “Times Square” text different colors, red and white with a blue outline.  I even added a drop shadow and turned on the texture effect to make the letters seem more 3D.  I was skeptical of Indesign at first, but seeing that it can do this, and this is its main hook, I actually might use InDesign again in the future for uses outside this classroom.

I like seeing funny gifs online, especially gifs that have a funny twist to them.  I believe I have created a perfect example of this.  I didn’t want to make a gif that was based on another image.  I wanted to make my own meme.  Funny gifs are one of the most iconic parts of the internet and the randomness of this gif is something I really wanted to emphasize.  The colors are weird, the character is weird, and the whole piece is weird.  For those reasons, I like what I have created.

I really tried to get the lighting to match up and I wanted to convey a tired and exhausted look with my pose.  I feel that I was able to get that, but could’ve maybe taken a few more sample pictures.  Overall I am pleased with how it turned out.  I played with the lighting for a while and I feel that that is the best I could get.

I think this is just really funny and I think it's easy to create photoshop images where you are "trolling" someone else in the photo. I think this would be really fun to recreate because it's so easy and the end result looks fantastic.
