Final Portfolio












 For my final I wanted to show everyone how much I have enjoyed this class. I am very proud of all of my projects and assignments I have created so i tried to put them all in my portfolio. I really like the way my portfolio turned out and I am hoping to be able to use it in the future. I can't wait to take another class like this one to improve my skills with Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. Thank you for everything you've taught me!! Have a very Merry Christmas :)

Mimi's Bubblegum Living room

In this project I experimented with patterns already on photoshop but I also created my own. The rocks in the fish tank I designed as my own pattern. The picture I drew is part of my Mimi's living room. I miss her fish named DeMarcus because he knows how to play dead. Also I put a picture of her favorite dog Bruiser. She likes him much more then her Golden Retriever because Bruiser likes to cuddle with her.  Her wallpaper reminds me of bubblegum. I created all of the brushes on my own. I used the brushes to draw the wood TV stand, the TV, the picture frame, DeMarcus, and the fish bowl. Hope you like it <3

Vector Illustration


Original picture : 
Edited Version:

This is my Vector Illustration. This projects was one of my favorites so far ! I wish I had a little more time with it so i could have added my dad in to the picture. Also I think now looking at it once I'm finished i think i could have done a better job with the shadows on my chest, body and head. I think being able to cartoon yourself is very cool and overall i am impressed with the outcome of my picture.

I chose the Robot Mermaid for my project because I thought it was a funny creature. I really like the way it turned out. I based mine off of the original drawing but changed some things slightly. I had a lot of fun with this project, Hope you like it !

Loopy Laundry Logo

I chose the logo idea Loopy Laundry because I thought I would be able to have the most fun with that logo. I wanted the logo to be bright, happy and organic. I like organic shapes a lot in logos because I think it helps the company look more welcoming. Harsh lines are not as inviting. My logo has a little bit of color but not a lot which I think helps because the color I do have is not distracting. The name Loopy Laundry is a very flowing name which I think shows in the logo. I used 9 different fonts to add  movement and attraction to my logo. To create my project i used the line tool, the paint brush, the typing tool, and eraser. Hope you enjoy !

homework 9/17


I think this logo is a successful logo because it is very unique. The colors used make the lightbulb make the light look like it's on which could attract more people since the light is "working." If i saw this logo while driving i would know it was some type of hardware or light store. This logo probably targets younger people because the logo is more hip and modern then most.


This logo represents a very successful company named LG. It is a phone company that is a younger newer company then Verizon or AT&T. I think this company aims towards a younger, more hip generation because from the LG symbol they turn it in to Pac Man which is kinda playful. If i saw this company while driving i don't think i would know right away what kind of company it is.


Look is a company that examines and makes glasses or contacts. The colors in this logo are very simple which i think creates more attraction to it because of the contrast. I would think this company would be pretty successful because the logo is very clear to understand. This logo probably attracts more edgy and hip people based on the way the logo looks.


Jordens are a worldwide shoe that most every guy has. This is a very successful logo that draws a lot of attention. If I saw this logo while driving i would know that it is something to do with basketball, i probably wouldn't pick up right away that it was sneakers though. This logo attracts young sporty and athletic guys who like exercising and basketball.


On Wine is a small wine company that has a very different logo. This logo belongs to a small wine store so it isn't extremely successful but it is successful for what it is designed for. The contrast and implied lines of the bottle are very different and interesting for the eyes to see. If i was driving past this in the car i would definitely know that this company had something to do with wine. This logo i think would attract young parents and newly weds. It doesn't look to fancy or expensive but it still looks hip and fun.

Artist Statement :
I chose this as my composition because my roommate is in Delta Zeta and she gave me her bracelet that says Delta Zeta on it. When I was trying to think of what to make as my project I looked down at my wrist and decided to make something that had the Delta Zeta symbol on it. When making my project I drew a graph on lined paper so that when I had to plug in the points in code i had something to reference. Below is the graph I used as a reference:

first blog entry !!

Welcome to my blog !! My names Emily, I'm from Annapolis, Maryland... and yes I did pick UT over the Naval Academy :) Although I am 15 hours away from home it doesn't feel that far and I think being close to the beach is helping that! I enjoy being outside and exploring new things. I have been playing sports all my life and I am excited to say I am on the Woman's Lacrosse team here at UT. I am super close to my family! My mom's name is Patty and my dad's name is Greg. I have 2 sisters, one older who goes to Towson University and one younger who is still in high school and I am extremely close to both of them. I am excited to be in this class because it seems really interesting. I took an AP Art in high school in which we used Photoshop and I can't wait to learn all the ticks to using it. Also i am a Graphic Design major and I think this class will help my professional goals.
