Sydney Sehr Ai PL 1

 video 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GzumUieDPY

    After watching this short tutorial, I think the shape tools will be the easiest to use as they already have straight or proportionate lines, unlike the pen tool where I would have to draw them myself. Also, for some reason in class I was unable to move the corners or sides of my pen tool drawings, so I think I will have trouble with that. I also think that the brush tool will come in handy and I can use it to make images or shapes that I want, but also then it will smooth it out to make it look more even. I found it interesting that there are keys on the keyboard you can use to access the tools, and also use the tools a different way.

    This video was pretty similar to the first, because they are all beginners videos. Although, some different tools that stood out to me in this video is using the alt/option key when holding on to a piece you want to duplicate and you can when you do that and drag, that is very useful to know. Again with the pen tool, I was having trouble making curves with it, and this tutorial helped me a little bit but I would like to try it out on the class computers some more for practice. I found this video interesting because there are some tools we have yet to go over, but I'm excited to test them out.

    I really liked this tutorial, it was short and simple and went over some of the tools also in the first and second video I have above. Although I enjoyed the pace on this video, I wish he spoke more about the pathfinder tool, as that sounds a bit confusing for me. I like how he kept his pace, and talked briefly about what the tools do while also showing him using the tools. Personally, I am looking forward to getting back to the class and trying out the tools I learned about from these videos.

Beginning of FMX 210

Image
     Hi! My name is Sydney Sehr and I am a student studying psychology at The University of Tampa. I am originally from Burlington Massachusetts. Some fun facts about me is that I am the youngest daughter with two older brothers, and I was a cheerleader for 11 years. Some hobbies of mine include hanging out with friends, shopping, tanning, and going to the gym. My biggest accomplishments would be my cheer competitions and getting 1st at Leagues and Regionals, and 2nd at States and New Englands, and also on another team winning All Star Worlds. Another accomplishment of mine I would say is getting into the University of Tampa! Although with accomplishments, there are always failures. Some failures of mine would be getting rejected at other universities I had in mind, not winning some big cheer competitions, and almost failing a math class in high school as it is not my strongest subject.       I have selected the FMX 210 class because I needed a Visual ...

Sehr Calligramme

  Final Caligramme: My Letter To My Future Self: Dear Future Sydney Sehr, I hope you’re doing well! I am writing this letter to you for your digital media class, how was it? I know that this class was a requirement but I hope you learned a lot from it and are able to use it in the future for jobs, or anything else? How did college go for you? We majored in psychology, and were wondering whether we wanted to focus more on developmental psychology or forensic psychology. Which did we end up choosing, or did we not choose either? Speaking of psychology, did you get any jobs that you are really interested in? Did you go more of a therapist route or a research route? Did you ever end up studying abroad, I know how badly you wanted to go to Italy or Greece. Also at school we were a founding member in the sorority Zeta Tau Alpha, so cool and I really hope that helped you out for your future opportunities and jobs. Did you end up having any leadership opportunities within the sorority, lik...

Sydney Sehr Autoscopy

Image
  Original Files Used:  Final Image: Artist Statement:  In this piece of art known as an Autoscopy, I have placed myself into what reminds me of a fairytale fairyland with lots of nature beforehand, and as well as the nature I have added. I feel like this image also represents me as I am a very outdoorsy person. Growing up, I had a fairy themed bedroom and this really sparked the inspiration for what I wanted to do. I was able to play around with tools, and colors, and really stick myself into a fairytale like I've dreamed of when I was little.
