        Inspiration


Artist statement:

This work is a reinterpretation of the powerful visual language used in WWII recruitment posters, historically designed to inspire a sense of duty and enlistment into military service. By employing a similar visual structure, bold typography, and muted military tones. I aim to highlight the contradiction between the glorification of armed conflict and my message of "Say No to Gun Violence."

Through this piece, I challenge the normalization of violence in both past and present contexts. While traditional war posters called for enlistment and encouraged military action, my adaptation repurposes that urgency to advocate for peace. The minimalistic design intentionally strips away the complexity of war propaganda to reveal its core message: the call to arms, which I refute in favor of a future free from gun violence.

 Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwNbjGyhZ48 For this video, I think the crop tool would be the hardest tool to use. It can be challenging for several reasons. Maintaining the correct aspect ratio is crucial, and I often struggle with keeping it consistent, leading to distorted images if not handled carefully. Cropping can also reduce the resolution of an image, especially if it’s already small, making it difficult to balance the desired framing with quality preservation. Additionally, without knowing how to perform non-destructive cropping, users may accidentally remove parts of the image permanently, losing flexibility for future adjustments.      2.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyR_uYsRdPs For this video hue adjustments can be challenging despite their creative potential. Changing the hue shifts all the colors in an image, which can unintentionally affect areas with similar colors or complex palettes. This is particularly tricky when try...

 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9gaPGQ1EG0     The scaling stroke effects look the most interesting for this tutorial. It is useful since it can help maintain the appearance of your artwork when resizing. Which has always been a big problem for me when I try to use Adobe Illustrator. It also allows  you to scale an object whilst keeping applied Strokes & Effects in proportion. 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NBKRywEbNs     This tutorial is made with the highest quality and precision and I actually am interested in learning how to use the control bar. I realized in this tutorial that it is one of the most helpful tools in AI. It also changes depending on what action or type of feature you are using which is extremely helpful. it also seems like it's kinda like the hub of AI. It is needed to be able to control what you do in your project in AI. 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_-ygXZUq3U     What was most interesting in thi...

Animation

  Artist Statement: Creating my stickman animation was both a labor of love and a test of perseverance. On the surface, the simplicity of stick figures might seem unassuming, but this project challenged me in ways I didn’t anticipate. From conceptualizing the movement and story to executing each frame, I gained a deeper appreciation for the intricate art of animation. The hardest part was bringing life to something so minimalistic. Every small line and movement had to convey emotion, action, and energy. I spent countless hours refining the timing, ensuring that the gestures felt natural and the story unfolded in a compelling way. With limited tools and simple visuals, I had to rely entirely on creativity and precision to create a sense of flow and engagement.
