POST CARD

 

ARTIST STATEMENT: 

I missed the class explaining the project, so I struggled to clarify the instructions. I followed the tutorial provided on Canvas and understood the assignment. I found it intriguing that the postcard had to be based on the Eclipse. Therefore, the first thing I did was search for a photo on Adobe stock. Once I found one that I liked, I started creating the document with the right measurements. Then, I added the text with fonts obtained in DaFont and added the effects. The final part was adding my tag brush as a stamp. The hardest thing about the project was downloading the separate documents, as it was the first project where we needed to submit multiple things in a folder. 

I decided to add, "and so the world waved" because an eclipse is supposed to create strong tides in the ocean, so I used it as a metaphor to people, as the whole world moves around the topic of the eclipse whenever it happens.
