Wanna hear my song?!!?1

week 2 recording project.

So this week, I primarily worked on structure. I want to elaborate on what I said last week in class. Logic is a program in which most artists create their entire songs. It also is a semester course in music programs and therefore it is a very difficult program to become proficent at in 3 weeks. However with it's basic functions I am still able to do a lot of things. My structure consists of to melodies in the start of the song. The first piano, and the second bells. Then a three layer drum beat. Then follows bells. These elements of the song comes in and out with the versus and chorus to create a more dynamic song. As I said before as well, I am not very musically inclined so this form of producing is very foreign to me. Tonight I will be recording my vocals hopefully. This will allow the song to sound more complete. Being as I am still working with loops and repetitive sounds. I know I told you all that I will have live drums and piano, but with more carefully thinking, I feel that might make the song sound choppy. Working with synthetic sounds, I am not sure that live instruments will flow. However, it is is a possibility and will definitely still consider it. I will hopefully have more to layers tonight so I will wait to post the song until then. I hope you all enjoy it. d.

song writing.

this week, i have completed my song, it has a melody and lyrics. they are as follow.

surrounded by the autumn leaves,
wonder where your taking me.
Mama said "time heals all"
there's always a spring and fall
(chorus)driven by your face
to a world i cant escape
wished i had listened
been more conscious of my decisions
change is all we need
your words planted the seed
blind but you will see
you werent good for me
lets just say i'm not the same
i only have myself to blame
for my life in the cage,
i have learned that i want to change.

next i will start recording.

logo

favorite logo

Not only is Campagnolo one of my favorite bike brand. It has the most classic logo. It effortlessly displays a timeliness and classic look. The most remarkable thing is the campagnolo logo has never really changed. There are variations over time however the script has stayed the same. When used in adds it usually is the only script which is wise because script is only successful when used sparingly. To see campi's collective change visit the site below.

original photos

photo essay

My photo essay really was an exploration of the dodge tool and the tablet. I used the dodge tool to distort the light and create warp like figures. I feel it adds an unworldly feel.

yay! A 3-d object!

adjusted image

so due to the fact that i flattened my image to put it print it, there was only so much i could do. I did my best in adding more red to both sides of the image, and toning down the richmond logo. however i couldnt move the entire tree. so once again. this was the best i could do due to the circumstances.

digi self portrait

My self-portrait is about me as a woman in Richmond. I define myself as an outdoors and adventure driven person. I am a painter and an artist as well. Therefore in my image I wanted to include all these elements. In the image you can see I used a larger watercolor brush tool for the background. I then super imposed an image of me on a tree covered in ivy. This makes it seem I am one with nature. All the graphics were drawn by myself as well as taking the photographs myself. This self portrait signifies an abstract portrait. The image of my face is hardly visible and barely recognizable as myself. I also did not want to straight forwardly say things about myself. I wanted the viewer to look once and look again, wondering whom it may be or what things about the image might be a part of who I am

Marshall photo finishing.

On the photo finishing project, I blurred the background and heightened Marshalls eyes with and accent of blue. I put the photo in gray scale and was looking for subtle variation in the photo.

Thurman

Thurman is the antithesis of a modern day superhero. In my personal interpretation of him is he would save the children without consciously knowing it by eating all the unhealthy food in the world. Thurman is the belly of our superhero, who consumes most all of the food/trash intake. I see him as a human vaccum cleaner. Our superhero is equipped with remote controls which help him get to where he needs to go by blasting things out of the way, this is because he is too large to fit most places. I hope you all enjoy our makeshift superhero. He is very happy to eat all your trash and mcdonald's big mac's.

Hipullk

My hipulk has a plastic wrap filter on it's wings. I tried to convey similar color shadows on the face as found on the hulk muscles. Good times, D.
