Logo




I got lucky while making my logo because I found a font that was almost exactly like what I had imagined in my mind for this project. I typed out the letters and then selected the "V" and moved it so that it overlaps with the "A" so it'd looked like a cursive font.

Calligram Project

I am not a huge fan of poems so I choose a song that I'm always playing. The words you see are lyrics to the song These Heights by Bassjackers and Lucas & Steve, ft. Carolina Pennell. I decided to go with a theme of smiley faces for my entire blog just to have a focus going into every project.

Canvas Project


TOTAL HOURS: 6

Honestly, I am quite impressed with myself. I was the student who couldn't figure out how to make a simple check, even though I was given the entire code for it. After experimenting with the different shapes and figuring out what worked and what didn't... this is my final canvas. 

I started in the middle and worked outward. Initially, all I had was a black circle with two smaller black circles as "eyes" for the smiley face and a half circle as the smile. I knew that I wanted lots of colors and for the final piece to kind of give you a headache while also making perfect sense. Easily the most difficult part was figuring out the bézier and quadratic curves which are in aqua and magenta. Once I mastered how to do those, everything else fell right into place and it ended up being way easier than I had originally thought.
