having very little digital art experience, photography experience, and overall tech experience in general, I tried my best to make a mash up of my experience. Of course, since traditional art is my strongest area at the moment, I thought it would be best to include my drawing/painting in the photo that I’ve made specifically for this blog. I’ve put the gears turning in my brain, along with expectations being thrown at me in rather aggressive fonts. This is representative of being forced out of my comfort zone when it comes to design, and being forced to take a step out of my fine arts background/mindset for a lot of these assignments. This is not a complaint, of course. I knew before the quarter started that I would be pushed out of my comfort zone. I feel that it will be good for me in some ways. I wrote in aggressive fonts because it feels like a lot of information is being thrown at me all at once. Of course I knew it would be that way, since a few professors warned us students about that on the first day. However, for me, all of the information can be rather difficult to process, especially when it’s something that puts me outside of my comfort zone like the coding class (ESPECIALLY the coding class lol). I’m aware that the background of the photograph is very crowded, but I figured that it fits the mood of the photo. As I’m completing this blog, my brain feels very crowded. Crowded with things from my personal life along with all of the information I’ve been learning in the program. I also made sure to add some assignments I’ve been working on to this photograph, which adds to the crowded feel of the photo.
