Event 4

Location: BSU

The Fine Performance Art and VCDMA departments held their annual senior exhibition, which 

featured students' work ranging from fashion to digital designs. The majority of the works were 

displayed in the FPAC art gallery. This event, held on December 8th, highlighted the great talent 

created by certain classes at Bowie, particularly for VCDMA majors. The exhibition included a fashion 

show, as well as numerous artists presenting their one-of-a-kind works, resulting in an overall strong 

display. Speakers and artists shared insights into their work at the event, allowing us to connect with 

their personal journeys as graduating seniors. This showcase, which ran from November 20, 2023, to 

January 19, 2024, was an example to the creative prowess fostered at Bowie. Although I wish I could 

return to the gallery to see more artwork, what I did see was certainly impressive. We work on designs 

in class, and if I decide to change majors, I might be able to participate in the showcase when the time 

comes.

Photoshop Tutorial

  Deasia Craig  VDCMA 230 (Computer Graphics) 2235880 October 10th, 2023   Photoshop Tutorial: Blog 1 Location: Fine Arts Bowie Uni.       Today, I did the Photoshop tutorial and I followed along with the steps they gave me. I tried  something  different while playing around with Photoshop. I was able to remove the background of a  picture that the  Photoshop total gave me. I unlocked the layer and tapped on the photo and at the  bottom, it said “Removed   Background”. At that point, I clicked on that box which removed everything  and now the original photos  are basic with no background. As you can see photoshop did have a little  bit of a rough time removing  everything in the after photo but this tutorial is very helpful in my  VCDMA Computer Graphic class as  we are using Adobe Express and Photoshop to make artwork.                                                                                      BEFORE AFTER

The Blvck Factor Part 2

D easia Craig VDCMA 230 (Computer Graphics) 2235880 December 8th, 2023 Blog 4 Location:  Baltimore, MD   Today, I assisted my friend Janae in creating a brand acronym for her brand, The Blvck Factor. We came up with "Breaking Limits To Value Creative Knowledge." Additionally, we discussed the various design applications she uses, with Canva being her preferred choice. However, I have more experience with Adobe products. I am currently in talks with her about helping her design items, and during our conversation, I experimented with Adobe to create a new design for shirts. Specifically, I utilized Adobe Illustrator, employing the text tool to incorporate different fonts in the wording. I also made use of the angle tool, adjusting the "factor" to about a 30-degree angle, give or take. For the art picture, I used Adobe Express Ai text-to-image to generate an image of a black bird. Within Adobe Express, I removed the background. Subsequently, in Illustrator, I uploaded

Recreated Template

Deasia Craig  VDCMA 230 (Computer Graphics) 2235880 October 10th, 2023  Photoshop Tutorial: Blog 2 Location: Fine Arts Bowie Uni.       In my free time, I decided to experiment more with Photoshop. To practice, I used a free template  provided by Photoshop. In  the original image, there was a zebra elephant. Using Photoshop, I hid the  animal layer to create my own version of the image. I  kept the rocks and background and replaced the   animal with a cat photo I found on Adobe Stock. Adding the image, I clicked on  the add photo icon and  cropped it. To remove the photo's background, I used the layer properties  and used the quick actions tool.  Which had the remove background box and it removed the background of the cat.  I repeated the same  process with the yarn photo, and the results were great. Using this type of methods, I can use these during  my VDCMA class since I am still learning Photoshop. ORIGINAL   EDITED
