  Artist Statement 1: I decided to use two colors that are pleasing to the eye when combined. I tried to use some humor here. I was unsure what to do on the back, but in hindsight I would've put the top text lower because it is almost cut off on the top. Artist Statement 2: I was influenced by the Ying Yang symbol for this design. I feel like the Ying Yang is pretty universally considered to be pleasing to the eye, which is why I chose it. It is also pretty simplistic which I feel would help someone have their eye gravitate toward the important features (the logo and the info). Artist Statement 3: I decided on this design because I am a film major and wanted to do one relevant to film. I feel like it could use a little more detail but I also feel like its simplicity helps in its effectiveness.

I felt like the photo I found was very engaging/relevant to the subject of my postcard. I felt like the font I used on the back is something I would see on a postcard so that's why I selected that one. I also added the lines to sign it and a space for the stamp.  

  I think that InDesign won't be too hard to learn since we have been using Adobe programs all semester and they work in somewhat similar ways. The pages feature seemed like it was a little bit confusing but I more or less understand how it works after watching the video Some of the tools seemed really intuitive, like the frame tool. I liked seeing how that feature works and I feel like it will definitely be useful. Overall, nothing in this tutorial seemed too difficult to grasp and I feel like I am comfortable enough with Adobe products to be able to pick it up quickly. This is a video by the same person as the previous one and I really like how he teaches the program. The skills showcased in this video are definitely more advanced than the previous one, but also were explained in an easy to digest way. The most interesting part of this video was him discussing how to format the text to look good and also he delved into some text effects which made the design really pop. Overall t

This assignment was inspired by the Dada movement. I thought it would be amusing to depict the Mona Lisa in a humorous style since it is such a serious painting.  

 https://youtu.be/uawQR5UudtU?si=BSrjHuQ1SUZtgntA This tutorial was useful because it was really quick and gave a good broad overview. I have learned animation before so I was able to grasp the basics, although animating in photoshop is new to me. https://youtu.be/9b0_3U4olW8?si=g69U7ony6-mvAXYR This was a more in depth video and got into the tools a little more. Frame by frame is the kind of animation I learned in the past so I feel confident, nothing was too new to me. https://youtu.be/0U7hNoN-Ypo?si=eD5pIvKkmCkfxBz4 This was another good tutorial. It was a bit to beginner-ish for me but ultimately still useful. Overall, I feel pretty confident in my abilities.

      I chose this scene because it is a funny scene from a movie I liked. Also, my wardrobe is fitting with the character who is in this scene so I felt like it would be a good fit.
