brooke ascii-fied


this is my first assignment in digital media FMX 210.  this style is called ascii art.  ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable (from a total of 128) characters. 

this project was fun, it was a good introduction to learning about binary code and digital art techniques.  i had never created art with the technique. i enjoyed trying something new.  i don't think this will be my go-to technique for future projects, but i am glad I did it and know that it is an option, because i can see how it might be beneficial to incorporate in my future work under certain circumstances.

in this project, i was tasked with taking a photo from color to black and white and then recoloring it using masking tools in photoshop.  i really did not enjoy this one.  the process was cumbersome and tedious, and the technology didn't work that well. i was not happy with the outcome.  i tried, but in the end, it just looks creepy.

CALLIGRAM

  in this piece, i was tasked with creating an image using the calligram style. calligram is using  a word or piece of text in which the design and layout of the letters create a visual image related to the meaning of the words themselves. to start this project i had to write a letter to myself 20 years from now.  after writing the letter, i picked words from that letter to create this final product.  i thought this was a really cool concept and i know i will enjoy looking back at this and remembering the letter to myself.  i think i could have done a little better on this one.  looking back, i would have blocked out more sections with color to add more dimension to the piece overall.  my mom loved this one!

AutoScopy

  this image was created with Photoshop using filters and layer blending options.  i started with an original photo and ended with this picture.  the concept was to create an image that tells something about yourself that others might not know.  i am a perfectionist and portrayed this by showing an image of me drawing myself to fit what others want to see. kind of deep for an art project, but it turned out cool.
