Insertion At the Hollywood Sign

For this project, I decided to use a photo of myself from Gasparilla weekend, because I don't have many photos of myself alone and I thought because I was sitting and I was in outdoor light that it would give me a lot of opportunities for places to put myself. I decided to put myself sitting on the Hollywood sign because I thought it was an interesting spot and cool because you can't actually sit there. I had a little trouble getting the lightings of the sun in this picture to match my original picture where it was more cloudy. In addition to adjusting the photo, I added a shadow to give it the direct sunlight effect that the sign has.

Rotoscope

I have been a figure skater all my life, so I thought it would be cool to do a figure skater for the rotoscope. I chose Yulia Lipnitskaya, who was a 15 year old sensation at the 2012 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Welcome to The Stu

For my logo I decided to make a design for one of my good friends father's gym. My boyfriend and him go to the gym every day, the gym is called The Fitness Studio, but they have nicknamed it "the stu". The gym is a personal trainer service, and Connor's dad has not put a single dollar into advertising, he only gains clients by recommendation and word of mouth, so I decided he needed a logo. I chose to give the stu a simple logo that was clean and sleek because I feel that fits the aesthetic of the gym, simple but sleek and effective. I  didn't want the logo to be flashy or colorful because that is not his style, he is simple but effective in his work. I chose to make the T in 'stu' a body builder to give the feel of the gym, but I didn't want it to just be a flat silhouette, which is why I chose to give him some subtle definition in a muted grey color, to give it the effect of muscle, but nothing too harsh or bold which would throw off the logo

About Me

My name is Julia Hurley, I'm eighteen years old and from Rumford, Rhode Island. Since the age of three I have been a figure skater, and I have been a runner since the age of eleven. Back home I have two siblings and a cat named Henrietta. I enjoy spending time by the river and at the beach. One of my favorite places to be in the world is at the lake my family visits every year in Waterford, Maine. The lake has the most peaceful atmosphere, and the most beautiful sunsets (as seen in the photo). I am currently a marketing major, although I am not exactly sure what area of marketing I am interested in. I am hoping that through this class I will be able to decide if I am interested in the advertising and graphic design side of marketing, or more the logistical business side. I do not have much art background, so I am not entirely sure how I will do with these new programs and techniques, but I am excited to be able to learn a new skill.
