Intro!

Hi!, My name is Larissa and I'm in my last year at UT studying advertising and public relations. I have always been into more creative and hands on classes since I can remember. I love my major and have learned that I lean more towards advertising than pr. In regards to advertising, my dream job would eventually be working in an ad agency. I want to have multiple clients instead of working in house for just one company. The professors I have had in this degree have really inspired me in this field of work, and have given me great opportunities inside and outside of the classroom.

What I'm hoping to gain from this course is an in depth understanding of how to use photoshop, since I have used it in another class. I want to challenge myself more in the creative aspect and learn how to create using the tools we are given. I'm looking forward to the assignments where we can create self-portraits and turn them into something new and more abstract.

Aside from school I enjoy ice skating in my free time, which is odd considering I'm a Florida native. It's probably because I prefer colder weather over the heat, and the rink is as close as you can get to up north. Other than that I love coffee, probably way too much. Dogs will always have my heart and every chance I get I will pet just about any dog in sight. Traveling has also been apart of what I'm passionate about, I appreciate visiting other cultures and trying new things.

Multiplicity

      The multiplicity project was one of my favorite assignments. For this project in particular we had top photoshop ourselves into an open space 6 different times. I decided to do a open room in a friend's house, and change my outfit so I looked like different characters. I wanted the theme for this assignment to be people winding down at night and relaxing after a long day of working. I liked playing with the lighting and different positions of myself, and putting it all together. The hardest part was probably positioning myself and taking the pictures all from the same angle of the room.

        For this project we had to use html code to create 20 shapes. This was my first time doing any type of coding, and to be honest I cried during 90% of this assignment. It was difficult getting things to save on my computer and it had trouble keeping up with shapes I was making. At times the code even though it was right did not transfer well to the canvas. I had to start over since I had lost my original attempt, but I still finished it and that's all that matters. Thank you hurricane Dorian for an extended time to work on this because home girl needed the extra hours for this assignment. I really really don't like code but I am determined to get better at it during this course.

Arc Canvas Project

Image
     This coding project was based on the code for creating arcs that we learned in class. I found it easier to make these shapes than the ones we learned before which were a square and a triangle. It didn't take as long for me to finish this project. However this still makes me want to cry, but it's fine im learning through the tears. :')
