Calligram Project



                         
This calligram is inspired by the movie Finding Nemo. I did not copy the calligram directly over a preexisting image (because I was having issues uploading an image and I did not know how to get rid of it after I were to finish the calligram), but I did use images of clownfish and blue tangs as references (posted down below). I drew the outlines of the fish with the pen tool, and then added the type on path tool to add the words "just keep swimming". I chose the text colors according to the colors of the fish. I also drew different shapes within the fish with the pen tool so that their  details are noted (fins, gills, patterns, etc.). I drew their eyes with the ellipse tool, one in black and a white one on top. I also used the ellipse tool to create the bubbles, filling them in with a gradient blue fill to make them look like they have some sort of dimension. I chose a blue blue background because I wanted it to resemble the ocean.

Adobe Color Photoshop

    This project took several hours to create, and it was pretty demanding considering that we had to make 6 versions of the drawing, but I really liked the end result. My favorite color palette was probably the compound shades.

Final Portfolio

This is my final portfolio. I really enjoyed creating all sorts of unique projects on different types of software. Coming into this class, I had no experience with Adobe and editing, and now I feel pretty comfortable creating my own digital projects. I'd like to thank professor Roundtree for helping me learn and giving me feedback on my work so that I can further improve my creative works, and excel in my career path.
