Event 2

Location: BSU
    
            The Sociology Club hosted a Poetry Slam event on December 8th, and it was great. They 

served light refreshments and crumble cookies to us. The president had previously organized events, 

which I had attended, but this one stood out as the best. It gave everyone a chance to show off their 

skills, and both the youth and adults read their best poems to the group. On Instagram, the Sociology 

Club also shared a flyer that caught my interest. It was an impressive work of work, and the author, 

known as The Convivial Artist, was credited. The typography was clear and unique, and the piece was 

legible. I believe they created their artwork by hand using an Adobe app, such as Illustrator or 

Photoshop etc. During the Poetry Slam presentation, they featured another form of art from this creator 

(shown below), which featured a book titled "Daisy Wrestles With Confidence," written by Kelly 

Sharpe and illustrated by The Convivial Artist. This design's artwork was clearly hand-drawn, and the 

overall appearance looked good I might just read this book.

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
