Disegno Grafico Finale

Is This My top 3??

#3 Vector Portrait

My vectored portrait is truly a gem if I do say myself, and I do say so. This project took me maybe three normal class periods and half a block day to complete which in itself is kind of beautiful. The only true challenge I had while creating this portrait was finding a picture of myself that didn't show majority of my unfortunate face, but after I did that it was smooth sailing. By the time I was finished doing this entire thing I needed something that would compliment my personality. Eventually I picked one thing and it was chill. My overall opinion on this piece is that it sucks in the best way.

#2 My Personal Logo

This logo is almost ridiculously simple and that's why it's perfect for one Jaden Brown. This project took less time then I thought it would so I ended up with a bajillion different versions for absolutely no reason. All the color palettes are based off of characters from some of my favorite cartoons and movies. I did this because colors are hard and I prefer my existence to be in black and white. originally I had so many ideas that were all interesting or whatever and when putting them into Illustrator they sucked so bad I wanted to cry. After those mini disappointments I went with what my minimalistic brain had been telling me the whole time, and it escalated from there. Anyway yeah that's the story of my logo. Thanks for coming to my blog talk.

#1 Event Advertising 

Alright let's get down to business (cracks knuckles). My number one, main man, best buddy, and favorite project is my event advertising for a fake Kevin Abstract concert. Is this my favorite because it's actually good? Definitely not. Is this my favorite because I think it's my best work? Again no. Is this my favorite because Kevin Abstract is wonderful and extremely talented? Of course. Anyway this stressed me out so much it seems fake. Like I had an entirely different event before I decided that one needed to be thrown into a garbage fire and I needed a new event. When making the stuff for Kevin Abstract everything was so easy and effortless since the way he brands his music is in a constant state of beautiful change. This made my job easier because I could draw inspiration from past album and advertisements while also doing my own stupid thing. So yeah this one was a wild ride and I definitely made those post cards in one normal class period, but I got the job done. 

How Did I, Jaden Brown Use My Class Time?

Poorly. I'm kidding. I use my time wisely unless I'm complaining about how bad all of my work is. I did what I wanted to when I got done with projects early which for most of this semester was working on the rebranding of HYPE because that's a big part of my life and I love the slam poetry team too much not to have a shirt for it. I read my projects to absolute filth before turning them in because I don't think what I produce is even remotely decent half the time. In other words: yes I do revise my work. Outside of class I think about why I do what I do in eComm because I'm a mess of a man.

Strengths. Do I Have Them?

In my personal opinion I do not have very many strengths even though I'm in my second year of eComm. Sounds sad but it isn't I'm just not that good at graphic design overall. Like I'm bad enough at graphic design that this is going to be the end of the paragraph.

Should I Improve? Yes.

I should improve. I will try to improve by just ya know, doing more projects to gain experience and all that jazz. I'd like to improve on my use of color since I don't use color. I mainly don't use color because like I said earlier I want my existence to be in black and white, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Another thing I should improve on is peer feedback because I hate it when people ask me for my opinion. It's even worse when I'm friends with the person because then I truly can't tell them how to make anything better without those repercussions following me into life outside class.

IN CONCLUSION :)

Out of this entire year my favorite part of this class was either questioning everyone else's conversations with Jenna or working on the Kevin Abstract stuff. I'd like to change my grade in this class for sure because I think my work is decent enough to get an A in this class, but that's kind of whatever now since it's the end of the year. My goal for net year in eComm is to suffer as little as possible in entertainment because I'm too tired for more moments of questioning my existence in eComm. My one and only concluding thought is as follows: I wish I could make black and white projects only. 

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT
