Blog #4

1. Artist's Statement

My Big Idea consisted of dreams and nightmares that I have now in my current stage of life. Knowing this, these dreams and nightmares are subject to change as I get older. However, since I am in such an interesting stage of my life right now, these dreams and nightmares can go anywhere. I will be graduating this December so I have many choices in where I want to go from this point. For my final project, I think I want to take the most interesting part of what I have done so far and just focus in that. So it may just be a CD cover or some kind of musical product. I hope to use various colors, designs, and fonts for this project in order to convey my feelings toward digital music. I also wish to manipulate some images and logos that are already out there to enhance my final project. This work is to be used as a way to learn about me and why I like this dream, but its main purpose is yet to be decided.

2. Visual Inspirations and Influences

In the electronic music realm, because a lot of the sounds are digitalized and computers are used in building this music, there are many interesting visualizations and designs that have influenced me to make this "dream" visually appealing. I enjoy visualizations that appear through computer music players and I think I may use some of those or fractals. Many patterns can be found in music and I nay be able to find them and use them for this project.



3. Trying Something New

A new Photoshop technique that I hope to incorporate is working with vectors. They create such fine and smooth lines that I think I may be able to use for this projects. I also would like to design and create my own images instead of just using those that I find online. I may also like to find a way to make my own visualization or fractal design as well.
