This is my calligram. In remembrance of the lives lost in the parkland shooting, I wanted to portray an emotion through my piece. A look of concern, loss, and sympathy. Using the names of each life that was lost is what makes this project so hardening. It is a form of paying respects to each of the people that lost their life that day- as well as a way to pay respects to the friends, families, and community that were affected by the shooting as well.

For my animation project, I wanted to capture the importance of how much media effects perception. The distorted, unrealistic expectations of body types and features seen in the media have negative impacts on young women and men. Cases like bulimia, anorexia, and many other eating disorders are caused by this type of media.  I think its important to remind people that true beauty is individual. That everyone is different and everyone is unique. Nobody looks like the models on the cover of magazines- not even the models- they've been photoshopped to fit unrealistic standards as well. So don't overthink it. Find your true beauty. https://youtu.be/cXSHDgS-vcA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXSHDgS-vcA&feature=youtu.be

I am originally from Chicago yet spent most of my time at my lake house in Wisconsin- so snow is my friend just as much as sand. I am a very outgoing person and I get along well with others; but I still enjoy having time to myself. Peace and quiet has always been my virtue. My first impressions of FMX 210 were interesting to say the least. While there are no exams and no texts for the class I know it will be a lot of work. I have never worked with photoshop or any of the other tools that we will use in this class, but I am eager to learn. The skills learned in this class will help me a great deal when I get into the real world and am able to apply my knowledge in my career. I a...
