AHsu - Assig 2: Word it! - "Goal"



This is exactly what came into my mind when you said 'Goal.'

For those of you who are not sure what these are, these are the Quidditch Quaffle goals with a Chaser and Keeper.

I like the movement and energy of the figures. I like that they are in the air flying high above the ground. I like that the goals are so tall. I like that they have both jumped off their brooms with commitment to the present action. If I could have drawn it, I would have changed the perspective, so that we were looking at the goals from an angle and a little below, instead of straight on, to get a better sense of the stature of the goals and to emphasize the goals themselves more. I would also have had just one figure, the Chaser, and gotten a good look at the strain on his face and the reach of his arm. But again, as in my previous post, this image conveys what I wanted to convey far better than if I had attempted to draw it myself.

AHsu - Assig 3: Signature


This is the unique individual character in my Chinese name that indicates me. A lot of Chinese names are three characters: Surname-Generational name-Individual name. So I share the same middle character with my sister, but this character "yun" is my third character. My full name is "Hsu Xuan Yun" and you would call me by my given name, "Xuan Yun." It means "Looking out the window at the clouds." This third character, which I used as my signature, is the Chinese character for "cloud". So that's my signature.

I used the Mac font STKaiti after browsing all the available Asian fonts... this still isn't exactly how I would write it if I could wield a brush the way I would like, but it comes the closest, and it's better than if I wrote it with a brush or pen.

UDinh - Assign 3 - Signature




For better quality click here

This is how I write my name in Vietnamese. And that's my handwritten.

I wrote 2 versions: when the words stick together and when they stand side by side.

On the right is a poem which was my online signature. I just love to include it there. It's not mine. My friend wrote it for me a long time ago. And I used a Vietnamese font to make it look the way it should be ^^

RosaGvra: Assignment 3: Your Signature


I have had this signature since high school and have used it many times. I made my simple signature which is a combination of "R" and "G" in Photoshop and added some extra designs around it that describes a little about me. I love vintage, floral pictures and I love color. Well i hope you like it.

RobertHenry_assignment2_ARTC1305/GOAL


This assignment was very fun. Thanks Professor Little. These are my goals from the less desired to the greatest expressed through Photo Shop. I manipulated the words and put pictures in the word GOAL, of what I desire to have in my life someday. The first vertical GOAL has my boo Buffy the body in a sexy leather out fit I picked for her. I'm a huge fan of her gluts by the way (lol)! 2nd GOAL has nothing but those hundreds because I would love to be a billionaire someday in order to bless my pastor & first lady some day.The 3rd manipulation is of course more of the lion of Judah (Jesus Christ) in my life. last but never less, the 4th GOAL represents the desire I have to know God on a whole different level. To finish this master piece up I add a GOAL as a background that reminded me of the new Knight rider car. With the word GOAL repeated this piece shows repetition. When I added pictures in the words I added my 3 of my favorites design techniques; figure ground reversal, unity & rhythm.

This was done in photo shop. It shows symmetry at it's finest just as well as my favorite technique figure ground reversal. It also displays; unity,rhythm,repetition and emphasis. If you look closely superman, the superman insignia, and Dwight Howard is my background as repetitive and symmetrical balance. Gracefully, my name becomes the center of attention. to put the door nob on the door, when you look in my name you can see the new superman flying across a superman's insignia. I'm superman's greatest fan. Enjoy!
