panorama project

personal narrative/panorama project

For this project I used New York City as my theme. My parents surprised my sister and I with a trip to New York over spring break. Our hotel was right in the middle of Times Square so we were always entertained.  We were only there for four ways but they were jam packed with fun things to do. Our flight landed around 7pm New York time, but instead of having dinner we went straight to dessert. The next day we walked around and just admired the city, we stopped into a lot of the stores! I had such a fun time looking through all of the stores. They have a lot of the same stores that we have nearby but the stores in New York are so much bigger. The second day was my favorite day, the day I saw Wicked! We went to go see the show around noon, but I woke up so early because I was too excited! When we finally got to the show my parents told us that we were in the very front row. I had never seen a broadway show before, I want to see so many more.

The next two days we walked around some more. Even though we were kind of in the same area we saw a lot of things that we hadn't seen on the first day. These days are where most of my pictures in the project come from. We went to the top of the empire state building and the top of the rock. It was so cool to see the whole city from so high in the air. The city is amazing just walking around but its even prettier looking at it from up top. I also went to Central Park on the last day. It was kind of weird seeing an area of New York that had grass and trees. Most of New York was a lot of people and crazy drivers. It was really nice going to central park because there were less people and you could sit down and admire a different part of the city. On the last day we also went to the 9/11 memorial. It was an amazing experience to see everything. I didn't take many pictures in there because I was trying to take it all in. In a lot of parts they wouldn't even let you have your phone or cameras. I did get a picture outside of the memorial.

The picture farthest to the left I got on the first day, it is a picture of a really pretty tech I saw. The picture next to that is also from the first day, its the very first picture I took in New York. its just a random building but I thought that it captured New York really well. The picture in the middle is in the middle of time square (my favorite area)! The picture of the building next to that I took on top of the Empire State building, not bat the very top but one of the many floors. The picture closest to the right I took outside of the 9/11 memorial. I also added pictures I took like the broadway street sign, the time square subway sign, and the globe sculpture. I put the five main pictures side by side and used the clone stamp tool to add on parts of the building onto the next picture. after that I added in the tiny pictures and put them wherever I had room. I added blending modes and the opacity of many pictures. I also added a blue and green tint to the overall picture.

My personality type

After taking the Meyers-Briggs test it said my personality type was ENTJ. I am 9% extravert, 16% intuitive,1% thinking, and 16% judging. The test also said I take control of the situation and if there is a problem I try and fix it. I try to find new solutions instead of using other solutions I've used in the past or things other people have done. I like to plan out everything I do and set goals for myself while helping others set theirs, I also tend to share my knowledge. I went to another site and it said I like to spend my time talking to others. It also said I think through all of my decisions before I make them. I excel at logical reasoning and am quick-witted. People who have my type of personality are usually refered to as the commander because of our drive to take charge. We also went to a website where it told us celebrities who have the same personality type as us. A few people who are ENTJ are Napoleon because he was a general and emporer of France, Bill gates b...

Maddy Samuelson Sidewalk chalk

On the first day we got our teams and started thinking of ideas that we could draw that would symbolize each one of us. But the symbols had to sort of have the same theme throughout the drawing. So we each came up with four ideas that we could use. Some were similar and some not at all. For my symbols I chose a red rose which means promise, a sun which I think means happy, a tree for nature, hearts for love, and an American flag for USA. To be similar we all tried to do nature related things but like I said before some were a little off topic. On day two our groups started sketching the things we wanted to draw on paper. Some things that people chose they didn't like anymore so they changes some symbols. What I did is I had a few symbols from the day before and I added some so that I could fill all of my space up. I We also had to decide how we were going to draw all of our symbols on the ground. We wanted to be able to tell that we all had different ideas so we divided our sq...

vector illustrated portrait

vector illustrated portrait pre-production When we were assigned this project we were asked to take a picture of ourselves, siblings, or a pet and turn it into a vector portrait. I chose to use a picture of my dog because in that certain picture he had just came back from getting a hair cut and they put a cute bow tie on him. The sun was also shining through the window which made his fur have a variety of colors.We had a choice between an organic vector project and a low poly geometric portraits. I chose to do the low poly geometric portrait, which is when you make tiny triangles on the picture and then fill them will color. I thought that this kind of portrait would look better on an animal than the organic portrait would.  production My time spent creating in illustrator was very enjoyable. I found making all of the triangles relaxing. While working on this project I became more comfortable with using the pen tool. It was a little hard at first because I didn't know ho...
