Introduction

     Hi, my name is Joe Otero. I am Advertisement and Public Relations Major at the University of Tampa. I'm originally from Washington, D.C. but spend a portion of my childhood overseas in the Manila, Philippines and Tunis, Tunisia. However for the past four years I have lived full time in Tampa, Florida. I am passionate about electronic music, traveling the country to attend different festivals and shows for the past five years. I am also an avid sports fan. I grew up playing sports, but now I just love to watch lacrosse, football, and hockey. 

    I'm looking forwards to taking FMX210 because it is something new to me. I've never been too tech savvy or have been able to manipulate photos or videos so I'm excited to get an understanding of how to do that. I want to go into the PR field after graduating college so having the knowledge and understand of how to use software such as Illustrator and InDesign could prove pivotal in my job search.

Autoscopy

      The autoscopy project turned out being a lot of fun to create. I like how we had to incorporate more than just two pictures into our work. I've recently watched a few shows that had to do with exploration and space so I took a lot of inspiration from those and wanted create something within that realm.     I chose a few images that would help me accomplish my goal. The background is a picture of a road within a forest used to show earth. I then replaced the sunny sky with a picture of the stars to show where I was heading to. After that I placed added a picture of myself. I stood in that position to try and emulate what a spaceship looks like. After, I used a picture of a rocket taking off to show the trusters at full power, blasting me into space. Lastly, I added a picture of code on a low opacity because going into space takes a lot of coding and calculations.  Overall, this project tested my abilities but I'm happy the way it turned out.  Orig...

Somewhere

       Step Brothers is one of my all time favorite movies and debut of Prestige Worldwide has to be one of the funniest movie clips of all time. From boats n hoes to crashing their dads sailboat it’s a classic.   Using Adobe Illustrator I put myself in between Dale and Brennan in their performance of boats n hoes. It was a little tricky to color match the image of myself with the slightly blurry image of the scene that I could find off the internet.  I started by layering myself into the picture with my original image. I then added different hues and saturations to match myself to the colors of the scene. The hardest part of this project for me was having my pants cut off where the table is. I don't know why it was so difficult for me but I eventually figured it out. This was by far my favorite project we did because of the freedom we were given to pick any movie or show we wanted. Overall, I think this was the best project I created in class. Original Cli...

Business Cards

Image
    These are the three business cards I came up with. I had a really difficult time creating these because of placing the tag brush. I used simple colors because I did not want to take away or distract from my contact information places on the cards. I wanted to keep the business cards pretty basic because most of the cards I have gotten in the real world were pretty basic so I decided to stick with that methodology. On the cards I added my tag brush, name, number, email, and blog website.
