This is my custom graphic that i created of a photo of Isle of Palms, SC. The brush that I created was the one of the tall dunes. I did not use any custom brushes from online, I only used the grass brush and the line brush from photoshop.

ASCII Artist Statement

I really enjoyed this project and this form of digital arts. I enjoyed working on this project because it was very technical and took time to do all the correct math to get a symmetrical image. I took me a lot of tries to get the shape of the hamsa hand, but I think that it turned out to be a great image for a first time HTML5 worker. After making the shape of the hand, I started working on the evil eye graphic. That too took time to make the smaller dots above the eye. I then decided to add in the word Namaste and a quote that I am in love with. I feel that with more time I could have figured out how to do all the detail in the hamsa hand above, but I tried, and it was very difficult and time consuming. As I continue on with this I will wok on the hand and upload a new graphic to my blog.

Eyes On You Clothing Co. Logo

This is my logo for my clothing company Eyes on You. The original design has always been screen printed on to things, and so I took a photo of a screen print of the logo and edited it through Adobe Illustrator. I added in the words "EYES ON YOU" and took in some of the black lines around the edges and inside of the image. This is a picture of my own eyes, and will be the logo for my clothing company that I am experimenting in.

Eyes on You logos

Above is a few sketches of logos for my clothing company Eyes on You. The top left image is the current logo, but I am beginning to prefer the second logo down on the left.

I chose the Victoria's Secret logo because it needs a lot of work. I personally love the products they produce, but their logo is so plain and unappealing. It's easy to pick out and most people know what the logo is for, but it doesn't match their other forms of advertisement that are visually appealing.

I chose the Michael Kors logo because it is also something I am interested in greatly. This logo is also simple, but I believe is goes well with his products. You can find this logo on all of his products, and it is just his initials. A lot of people can look at this logo and know exactly what it is for, not just for the name written on the bottom, but by the image as a whole.

I chose the logo for Barbie because this is a product known all over the world. Anyone can look at this logo and they know exactly what it is for, a little girls best friend. Although it is just a name the way it is presented as a signature makes it unique, and also the name is very unique itself. I think this logo is very effective.

I chose this logo because it is very crafty in the way that the golfer makes another image as a spartan. This is very unique, and shows the effort that the artist put in to making this logo work.

I chose this final logo because it was very poorly thought out. Unless the artist wanted to sneak in dirty humor this logo is very disgraceful. Although the company is for pediatric care, the curved look of the characters does not look appropriate for the company.

Who am I?

My name is Sammy Michie and I am a sophomore at the University of Tampa. I study Fine Arts with a focus in Digital Arts and I study Communications with a focus in Advertisement. Right now I am a server at Hattrick's sports bar in the heart of Downtown Tampa, and that is what consumes my life, besides school of course. I want to work in the fashion industry when I am older as an Art Director for a fashion magazine. Right now I design my own clothing and have my own brand called "Eyes on You". I am also a painter and enjoy producing works that focus on the ocean.
I am taking this class for my major, but have never worked in the Digital Arts before. I hope to learn all the basics for digital art making in this class, and to be able to make my own advertisements for myself and better develop my fashion logo.
