 Black and White Color Images Artists Statement: I was inspired by Paula Scher’s The Public logo for this project.  I wanted to match the big bubbled letters but add my own style.  I like when letters are wacky shaped and strange looking, and I wanted to combine big and small letters.  These were my results.  Overall I am pleased with the design, and I think I like the third option a little more than the other two.  I think having one color for a logo, especially one like mine, is better to have.  It makes the design feel more focused and less like an art project.

    To be in a state of play is to be in a comfortable mindset while working, at least in my opinion.  I feel as though being in a state of play allows most people to actually be comfortable during their creative process.  Being in a state of play means you can think freely without any serious ideas forcing you to be realistic with your work.  It means you can be a little messy and still feel successful when you are done with your work.  If I am in a state of play it means that I will not be afraid of any ideas that come to my mind because I am allowing them to enter, I am allowing the inner child in me to have fun.  That's what being in a state of play means to me.     My best ideas come from the internet.  Inspiration plays a big part in my creativity.  YouTube videos and films inspire me to keep creating the work I like to create.  I like to create YouTube films analysis with my YouTube channel.  I also like to create short films, and I am currently developing my first one now. 

For this project, I had to base the image I wanted to do on a letter I wrote to my future self.  In my letter, I stated that I hope my dream career as a filmmaker works out so I wanted to make my project based on that.  I decided to make my calligram project a film camera.  I’ve used Illustrator before so this wasn’t as hard to do as I thought.  I wanted to make the dials and buttons seem a little more 3D so I typed one word and distorted it to make it look rounder.  The one-word distortion I did in the top right of the image looks way better than I thought it would.  Overall I like how this project turned out and the 3 hours it took for me to make it were well worth it. Inspiration Picture: Letter to my Future Self: Dear Me, Hopefully 20 years from now our preferred storybook timeline actually happened.  Hopefully, we are working on our Transformers Cinematic Universe like we have dreamed of doing since we were 6 years old.  Hopefully, we have a beautiful wife and kids and home.  Ho
