My name is Natalie and I am taking the Digital Media course at University of Tampa.I am from Cocoa Beach, Florida but I have lived in both California and Virginia due to moving for my dad and moms work. I am a double major in Film and Media and Communications, which I recently switched to just last semester. When I am not working on homework or at work, I can be found watching the Tampa Bay Lightning or Green Bay Packers, or anywhere outside. Another fun fact about me is that I am a professional scuba diver and have been diving since 2018! I love everything about the underwater but ironically, I’m scared of fish or rather fish touching me (I know its actually so weird). I am pretty active on campus and involved in the Scuba Club, Swim Club, and manage the school's ice hockey team. 

I chose to take this class because way back in highschool I got certified in photoshop, however, I barely passed and have since barely used it. I also feel that learning how to use photoshop, indesign, and illustrator will be very helpful in the career that I want to pursue. I feel like the class will be pretty fun and easy, as long as I keep up with the work and ask for help when needed. I can’t wait to become more intune with the adobe suite and see what I can accomplish with this class!

Portfolio

Image
     For the portfolio project, I decided to go with a very simple design in order to let the projects stand out. Due to each project having a different theme, it was important that the overall theme of the portfolio allowed each one to be portrayed well. This project was fun because it allowed me to collect all the project I have done and see how well my skills have improved throughout the semester. I do wish that I kept to a theme throughout the semester so that I could have done a theme that matches the projects as a whole. That would be the one thing I would change about this project.  There were many problems for me personally regarding this project. Not so much at first but when it came to submitting the project. Overall, I enjoyed this assignment and appreciate being able to look back at all of my previous assignments, homework, and projects. I can't wait to use all of my skills from this year in the future during my career or for personal fun!

animation

Image
 For this assignment, we had to tell a narrative and use the animation tool on photoshop to tell the story. I decided to tell the story of a flower. This flower gets rained on in the beginning and then has the sun come out after. Then it turns into another flower. I used mostly clip art for the main objects such as the rain, clouds, and original flower. Then I used my own grass that I drew as well as a plain blue background. I chose that color of blue because I thought it could be both the color of a nice day or of a rainy one. Then the second flower is my type brush. So this sunflower changes into a hibiscus.  If I were to redo it or change anything, I think I would try to make it a never ending gif. One that looks like it repeats over and over again. I know how I should do this but I was too excited to do other aspects of the gif that I skipped parts that should have been first. Overall though, I think this was a really fun exercise  and I hope I can play around with th...

InDesign HW 1

Image
  I felt that this video went bay really fast. It was both helpful but also confusing because it was too fast to follow along. The narrator had clearly sped the video up in order to show all the tools in a shorter amount of time. This video also shows what the shortcut is on the keyboard to help with quicker editing.  A cool tool they show is the content collector tool. You can grab all of the content on the board and then place it elsewhere from a conveyor belt. Overall, InDesign seems very similar to Illustrator especially with the tools and how this video shows what you can do with it.  In this video, the creator shows from the beginning on how to create a new file and project. He makes us follow him through the process of creating a flyer/ poster thing using all of the tools. I really appreciated this video because it allowed me to see the tools used in an actual project rather than creating a shape and using the tool then deleting it. In this project, he showed the p...
