Digital Media First Thoughts

My name is Jacob Dobosh, and I am from Buffalo, NY.  I usually spend my time talking about movies and/or football with my friends as well as watching said movies and football.  My favorite football team is the Seattle Seahawks, but the Pittsburgh Steelers come in a close second.  If you think that’s weird, consider that I was born in New Jersey.  I don’t get it either.  As a film major I like making YouTube videos.  I’m a bit of a nerd, meaning I like Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers.  I swear I am mature.

I expect this class to be extremely informative and I am actually really excited about it, as I use Adobe products but would love to learn way more about them, especially Illustrator.  I expect and hope it is very informative and I also hope to be able to understand and, most importantly, remember what is possible in the Adobe programs we take a look at.  I like creating digital art so I do hope this class can help me in knowing how to create crazy effects that I am always in awe at.

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.

Business Cards

  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 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.
