Proposal for Final Art Project

The final art project I plan on doing is a webcomic. I plan on doing this project as opposed to others, because I believe that this project will utilize the art skill I already have. I plan on using mixed media along with photographs, animation and possibly even a soundtrack.

For the content of this project, I plan on illustrating a storyline that has a philosophical and political meaning. My intent is to get the viewers to think about the content as well as imagery. To do this, I will use placement of color, composition and appropriate script for this piece. I also plan on posting updates of the webcomics until the final part of the project is complete in its own separate blog along with this one.

Second Life Real- Life Self Portraits

These are self portraits that I've created using two different types of media. I used the portrait on the right to create the effects for the Second Life character.

Life as HUD

For this project I chose one of my favorite hobbies which is playing videogames. I thought it would be more interesting to create an HUD of a person playing a videogame. I found this project to be pretty easy. I chose to darken the background to make the television brighter and I used bright colors for the icons to convey feminity in a very masculine hobby. I think if I can do anything differently, I would turn the lights off before taking the picture to enhance the effect. I think I would also use more than just shapes to create the icon.
