MEET HAYDEN 



Sophomore 
18
Advertising Creative Major 







Interests include: 

  • design
  • old video games 
  • sfx and specialty makeup 
  • costume and prop making 
  • being in nature 
  • writing short stories 

I'm pretty involved in the "cosplay community" meaning that I take an unfortunate amount of pride in dressing up as characters from shows, video games, and comics. I really love the feeling of creating something tangible with my own two hands and being able to see my own progress as a seamstress and designer!

EXPECTATIONS FOR THIS COURSE 


What I really hope to gain from this course is an outlet for my creativity. Recently I switched majors from International Business and Marketing to Advertising Creative because I felt that my previous major really didn't match up with my artistic personality. I want a career where I can really stretch my imagination and create things! 

That being said, I don't really know what to expect as I've never taken a digital art class before. My experience with art has been mostly 2D and traditional (painting and mixed-media) so I am excited to try something new. I know that the skills I will learn in this class will help me in my career, especially as I will have to design ads using digital processes.

Recolored Photoshop Project

For this project I was excited to be able to display my digital painting skills. For the original recolor, I wanted to make sure that none of the original image show through the recolored one. I would have to say that I spent between 5 and 6 hours on this piece alone.  Color Scheme One: Complementary Colors (orange and blue) Color Scheme Two: Monochromatic Red Color Scheme Three: Triad of green, blue, and orange Color Scheme Four: Primary Colors  I love the way that primary painting colors look together. It created a very vivid and artsy image.

A Place I've Never Been

Image
(Images very from 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% in quality)  For this project I looked for an image of myself that was already taken as I got a bit of a late start on it. I chose a photo that my friend Jay took of me earlier this semester. Since my friends always like to joke that I am the "instagram model" of the group when it comes to my selfies, I decided to place myself on a fashion runway as if I were a real model. I cut the original model out of the background image and filled in the space that was left using paint brush and stamp tool. Then I cut out the image of myself and color corrected it to match the rest of the photo. Lastly I added a shadow behind myself. I had a lot of fun with this project!
