Calligram Broken but Strong

Image
  This project was easily my favorite. I did not do the best job with distorting the image, but writing a letter in this format was something I had never even thought of.  I chose to write a letter to myself about being strong for my family, myself, and family of my own one day. The meaning behind this is being broken but strong. By facing challenges that seem impossible to overcome and dealing with all kinds of pain, there is always a way to grow from these things. In my past I dealt with serious depression, but overcame my mental battles and learned to suppress these negative feelings. Even with everything that still comes and this semester being one of the hardest years of my life, I continued to remain positive. This project is one of the most personal things I have ever done in a class and for that reason, I will never forget this assignment. This project took me roughly three hours to complete due to watching tutorials and  thinking about how I wanted to go about what I wanted to

Logos (Black and White/Three Color versions)

Image
For this project, I made five different logos of things that were significant to me. The first logo resembled my connection to basketball being on the club basketball team. The second logo was the logo that I was told to go with by most of the class, but I did not really want to pursue this logo. The third logo that I was considering out of the five designs was the logo I went with in the end. This logo was meant to be a simple but sleek design. My family has always had a connection to mountains. We meet every winter in Colorado to celebrate Christmas together as a family. I also grew up on Signal Mountain which gave me the inspiration to go with this final design. I struggled a little bit while learning the software, but in the end I am pleased with how my logos turned out. This project took me roughly 3 to 4 hours of watching tutorials on the FMX website and work on the website.

Selfie Portrait and Propaganda Poster

Image
      Social Movement: Environmental Awareness Poster      For this project, I decided to opt for a topic that focused on our environment. I searched through my camera roll to find a picture of me enjoying being outdoors. The environment plays a massive part in my life and everyone around us, yet we do not take the right steps to keep our planet healthy. Coming from Tennessee in the mountains, and then moving to Oregon this past summer, I have a massive appreciation for the world around me. I am especially fortunate to be in Florida, which is where this picture was taken (the basketball courts on campus). This project took me about 3 hours of work and research to get the end result.

Canvas Project With Code + Statement

Image
  Canvas Project: Odd World     This specific piece of art was created using dreamweaver. While brainstorming for what I wanted to create, I got lost and realized I had no idea what to go for. As I continued to battle with what would be original or not, my idea hit me. This semester, I have found myself lost in different thoughts and more distracted compared to usual, so I went with the idea of, "Odd World." The concept of this piece being that the house on the right has a black doorway leading to reality, while the red rectangles are other doors leading you off of your path or falling into different thoughts.      From the building on the left with the main door, to the suns on the right, I found this project both long but also entertaining. The longer I worked I felt as if my piece was starting to look like it was something out of star wars. I did not use this picture as inspiration, but as I worked I thought of this and decided to add this to my post. What makes this proje

Internet/World Wide Web

 Internet and World Wide Web     We as a society have grown to rely and depend on technology to a great extent, but where did these come from? Are Internet and the World Wide Web different or the same thing? In the late 1960's, the first working prototype or form of working internet was created. The original purpose of the creation of the internet was for the purpose of being able to allow multiple computers to communicate under a single network.       This was started by the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, funded by the U.S. military, but was later adopted by Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf. These computer scientists created the first rue working form of the internet. Of course, the internet has changed drastically from then and now along with technology, but this was a start.      So what is the internet? The internet is a network that allows other computers to communicate and share data. The way we use the internet today is vast in so many ways. Having the ability to send

Intro Blog Post- Jude Wilferth

    WELCOME TO MY BLOG FOR FMX 210-1 I am Jude Wilferth, I am a sophomore at University of Tampa, and I am currently enrolled in FMX 210-1. I am a psychology major from Chattanooga Tennessee, and I do not have a ton of experience with computer art and technology, therefore I am looking forward to learning and seeing what I can take way from this course. I am on the club basketball team, love music, speak German, and I enjoy watching sports with friends.  From this class I expect to learn how to use computer software for the purpose of art, but also learn more about computer software. I am aware after the first meeting in class that most of the information will be art based, but I know I can learn a great deal and may use this information in the future. I know I will make friends from class, make connections, and possibly see a change in my future based on what I take away from the class. I am a hard worker and I know I do not have prior knowledge of the software required for class, but
