Artist Statement - 

For this project on the Eclipse Postcard, I wanted to create a collage of many different eclipses in order to make something fun and different. The overall basic idea is to make the post card look realistic yet fun with an effect of a collage. The word colors match the colors of the various moons shown in the image on the background. Originally, I tried creating the moons myself with various fun colors, trying to make each one look differently. I was going to match the font colors to the various colors used in the colors behind the moons, but instead I chose to match the color to the orange used. The final version background gives a 3d effect, which I was happy with. One of the difficulties of this assignment was figuring out how to outline the text boxes in order to show an outline for the post card.

Between family, soccer shots, photography, money, getting caught up on school, social life, boyfriend, and friends, I don’t know where to start with this letter.

I am currently sitting here trying to type this letter while waiting for the Career Services lady to call my name for my meeting with someone who works in the professional sports world.  Life is moving so insanely fast right now, with three million things happening at once, and everyone telling you their opinions and how you should be doing certain things. I guess that is just life? What do you think now after living through it? You probably won't even remember how stressed yo...

Photoshop Animation Tutorial: Frame by Frame Character Walkwww.youtube.com › watch The move tool with auto select will be the best to use when drawing across animations, as we can see originally what was there and still be able to proceed with what needs to be drawn.  Motion has to have a change in imagery according to this video, so I think it will be difficult to remember how to click/drag contact groups in order to duplicate across layers. I watched this portion of the video more than once, as hearing/watching ...
