Artistic Statement: 

When I was young, I disliked writing so much until I met that amazing teacher who made me fall in love with it. The paper clearly is the writing, but I wanted to add a bit of meaning and connection to the pen. This is known as Ankh, an Ancient Egyptian symbol that means life. I picked it for two reasons. First, I am Egyptian and I am very proud of my history and heritage. I picked it to symbolize life. I like to journal a lot about my life and that includes memories, accomplishments, ideas, brainstorming, planning, feelings, and so on. Overall the pen, is life, on paper. 

I sketched both the pen and paper and then embedded them in Adobe Illustrator. I mostly used the pen tool except there were two times when I used circle and rectangle shapes. I used a circle to make that small circle on the pen and a rectangle to make the little curve of the paper. I did it using the shape builder tool to trim the unwanted parts of the shapes and then finally group them all together.

    The reason why I like your logo so much is because you made it feel very personal to you. Reading your story was so refreshing to hear! I also really like how you are proud of your heritage and express it through your art!

 Original Image: TV SHOW: Final Image: Artistic Statement: This was the most fun project I have done so far. It only took me an hour and thirty minutes. I picked stranger things because it is my favorite show. I loved this scene because this is the part where Eleven gets all her power back. I basically selected ' Select Mask' then I used the quick selection tool to highlight my figure as the part I want to keep. Then, I clicked on the brush with the minus sign so I can remove the background and any unwanted parts. Then, I went to adjust the brightness and contrast to make my picture's light and shade as close as possible to the movie picture. I also flipped the picture as the sunlight was coming from the left side. Finally, I posed this picture as if I were observing and looking around in the desert just like Eleven is doing here.

Animation

 Project: I had to redo this project because the first one did not work out. I was kind of nervous about this project, but when I watched some parts of the tutorial videos and just went ahead and gave it a try, I found it to be easy. I was trying to make that animation kind of related to my country, Egypt. In the beginning, I was trying to put and animate the pyramids instead of the camel but it was difficult because the pyramids are next to each other in almost all pictures. It would have been easier and better if each one was separated or far away, but I still decided to stick to something related to Egypt, so I picked this cute animated camel and some random desert landscape. You can also see my tag brush at the top.

  Artistic Statement Even though this was the longest project I have ever done the entire semester, I really enjoyed it. I mainly focused on three colors: yellow, blue and pink. Yellow is for the Adobe Illustrator, blue is for Adobe Photoshop and pink is for Adobe InDesign. I used some different shades in different pages to make it look more colorful and creative.  While I struggled a lot throughout the semester because I have never used any of those software before or had any knowledge in art and design, this class helped me with all of these. I believe I have strong foundation in all of those software, and I got better with design than I used to a long time ago. I will gladly maintain all what I learned and learn even more in the future. Not only because I enjoyed the process of learning new things but I also because I believe it is beneficial to know those graphic designs and software skills. Finally, it's because I liked and I got more interested in it..
