Artist Statement Growing up I always found myself drawn to the arts. Never did I imagine I would want to make my entire career and future out of it. Upon moving to New York City in the summer of 2016, I discovered a whole new world and what you could really create in being a graphic design artist. I shortly began taking courses here at Empire State College that really opened my eyes to what my new dream would be.  This form of art really allows me to  be as creative as I want and working in advertising would be an absolute dream come true in the best city in the world. I want to continue to grow and learn everything I possible can about programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

Ethics Statement This blogs only purpose, and intentions are for continued learning and educational purposes at SUNY Empire State College. All work will be properly cited as well as proper legal permission to use another artists work, if I intend to use someone else's work.  All comments should be respectful, any negativity will be removed from the blog if necessary.  Any sharing or redistributing of work posted should be asked to use before actually use, with proper credit being given to me along with whom ever else's work would be used. 

Since I completely changed my idea and concept. I don't really have a planned out schedule for the work I am doing. I am pretty much trying to work on the comic book as of now daily. Getting the characters and background to look as smooth and professional as possible. The programs I am using for this comic book video, will consist of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and windows movie maker to put the whole thing together. I do not need a contract for the project I am creating as I will be working alone and using my one work. I do not have a budget because I already have the programs needed, but am willing to spend around $50 if I need to.  This is a intro to my comic book video that I created using Adobe Photoshop. I wanted it to have a creepy, feel that looks like a TV or light going out. Here is my final script for the comic book. Cast Remi- Jessica Jack- Carlos  Passenger 1- Myself Passenger 2- Yajiara Passenger 3- Aaron Passenger 4- Alexa Passenge

I think that contracts are not only extremely important part of any type of business agreement, I think they are absolutely necessary. A contracts purpose is to protect both parties, to ensure that no one is being taken advantage of. A contract can state who is responsible for what aspects of a project and who is not, Whom can do what and whom cannot, these type of agreements can protect people from fraud, etc.

For my final project I will not be doing any collaborations. I will be using my friends to do the voice overs for the characters I have created. The materials and software I plan on using will be a program called filmora, which will allow me to edit my video. I will also be using a microphone in order to capture the audio for the voice overs. I will be hand drawing out everything, for my comic book. The materials I will be using will consist of prismacolor colored pencils.  Cast Remi- Jessica Jack- Carlos  Passenger 1- Myself Passenger 2- Yajiara Passenger 3- Aaron Passenger 4- Alexa Passenger 5- Chris Underneath the Surface Scene 1:  JACK So, how was work today?
