Final Portfolio

 My final project for FMX210: The Portfolio.

A daunting task, surely. However, it wasn't all that bad. I chose to do analogous color scheme, focusing on brighter pink, purple, red, rose, and orange. I chose a simple yet cute font that gave it an "elegant" feel. Essentially, I just transferred parts and pages from this blog to get all of my images and texts. It turned out much better than I anticipated and I'd say this was a successful attempt at my very first portfolio. It was a great way to end the semester, and the pages are attached below!

 Letter to Future Self Calligram  The original letter to myself: Future Lucy, Seeing as you truly have started to get your act together, I’m hoping this letter (from your own self) finds you well. I hope you yourself (myself) are well. The year I am writing this is 2023, we just turned 20. They say that your twenties are supposed to be the best years of your life. The latter half of your teenage years weren't great and it took a long time to realize that I was partially at fault for that. It was kind of hard to realize that I just wasn’t prioritizing YOU! You being my future self. I hope I still take the life changing quotes I read to heart, because a few weeks ago I read, “How you spend your days is how you live your life”. It’s hard to realize that these next 10 years are actually just an accumulation of several singular days. And while I could be doing better, I’m trying my best right now to make these days count, so I can look back when I read this letter and not regret

  Self Portrait Propaganda Poster   For my self-portrait propaganda, this is the original selfie that I used:   The final poster turned out pretty well: My poster follows the “punk” vibe that we were shown examples of in class. I drew inspiration for the checkered background from looking at similar style posters. I also included a faded “shadow” of my original vector in the background that is my take on the following images use multiple images of one subject: I chose the quote “Loose lips sink ships” because my poster is still supposed to be a version of propaganda. This saying was popular in war times as to promote keeping secrets so that the enemy would not be aware of any plans made in regards to military, location, etc. Since my name is Lucy, my nickname is Luce which is pronounced the same way as “loose”, hence why I chose this quote. It is not necessarily satire, more so a play-on-words.

Post Card

For our recent project, we were assigned in designing a post card. I chose a place that is near and dear to my heart: my local beach town, Saint George Island. I grew up going to this beach and one of my childhood best friends' grandparents own some real estate on the island. Her grandmother used to show us old photos of the island before it grew, and one aspect has truly stayed the same since then: the lighthouse. You can tour the light house any time you want when you visit and it is smack dab in the middle of the island. I chose to use an image of the light house due to how iconic it is.  For design, I went for simple because SGI is a very simple place. It's small and relaxed so I did a relaxed and "low maintenance" design. For the back, I also kept it simple. I made sure to include the "signing" lines that are very postcard-y.  I also included the abbreviation "SGI" because that is what the locals call it, and I think it added a nice touch.
