the title of my font is "Beach Font" it relates to my font because my font is beach themed. All my letters contain objects that relate to the beach such as a towel surf board sunscreen and much more. It's made up of almost anything you can imagine in the beach. my inspiration was the fact that I'm going to Ecuador over the summer so all I do over there is spend most of my time at the beach either swimming or playing volleyball. This relates to my personality because I love to swim as a matter of a fact I swam for St. Anthony-- metro untied swim and dive team also I feel that I can not live without the beach or music ahah. So why not express your favorites in font! The biggest struggle about creating this font was actually making the letters. Ahah. For the whole Project i I used the pen tool. I love it because you make something and it's makes whatever you made smoother or straighter which really helped alot. I'd say my biggest success was the final deal I feel that my font was a piece of artwork it's not something you usually see its different yet very unique. I'm really proud of it and again the final thing was probably my biggest success. If I could make a second font I would base it off sports like soccer ,volleyball , softball, swimming. Skiing, and much more because I'm very athletic and love to join in and play any sports anytime. I would actually name my font Hobbies because it what I enjoy to do and maybe other people too. For the font like my beach font I would make the letters out of the things you use to play certain sports such as an "o" I have many options to either make it a soccer ball softball tennis ball frisbee anything and I could make capital letter out of them too!

Helvetica assignment

A front can change a person mood by the way of the form, shape, depth, color, and size! Well if you go downtown a see like a huge neon color or light up letters in a sign it catches your eye a you stare at it right? it also I've a reaction of like "Wow that is really cool." Mostly when i type papers i usually almost always use Georgia. i use Georgia because to me it seem easy to read and when you read your eye just flows easily along the text. Times is i design of because it sends a certain mood of like this is serious and that everything contained in here is true secure and confidential.  Politics affect the human population by expressing text by putting larger text to let people see what they want them to see. and they put the "trick" in smaller text like for example in a car commercial, they have larger text for what you want to know is great and then there's smaller text at the bottoms of the screen. well i guess it all depends on the text because that's what really changes it all the mood and your sense of how  you see it . Maybe the showing of how different businesses look "better" than other or more official just because of the text provided for the audience to see. well now that i saw this video i look more at text in the world. like i went to downtown yesterday and that is a great example of how many different texts everyone uses and how they put it to work! :0 :)

Nursury Rhyme

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread;
Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
       ----old mother goose---









In this nursruy rhyme what most stood out in this was that an old lady that lived in a shoe with a lot of kids. so what i put in this photo was approximately 40 children in this photo. with the last verse of the nursury rhyme that old lady is mean does not feed them bread with their broth and she whips them to bed. That is why i have Courage The Cowardly dog's owner ( a cartoon show) the lady had no sense in her and was very ignorant. in this photo she is shown up and angry and impatient.

Transformation brainstorm

If I could transform. Us elf into another human being in would transform myself into a famous celebrity. This celebrity would probly be Thalia Mottola. I chose this celebrity because as a little girl i was like obsessed with her just because she has th same named as me, but without the " h" in the name.So why not transform myself to her? There really is no place I choose to be just a very smooth color in the background that will bring out the photo,or enhance it. All I will need for this project is a good photo of Thalia, me. Also I will go on the Internet to get a hold of some jewelry and different hair highlights. I kind of know everything about her already, haha. But Thalia is a Mexican singer/ actress.

Thalia's facial expression are unique haha but they seem pretty easy to do also the fact that I now much a bout her makes even easier all the photos I wish to do will have different expressions and different positions and backgrounds.:)
