  Artist statement: My inspiration for this postcard was my love for the West Coast of America. I was born in Colorado and would visit Rodeo Drive often it is one of my favorite family memories. My aunt lives in California and when I was young she would send us postcards just like this and it brings me back to my childhood. My family is what matters most to me in life and getting things like this from my aunt when I was young would remind me how much my family loves me even if we are not close to each other. I love California along with the tall pom trees and that's why I chose this design. 

  Artist statement:  my inspiration for the business cards came mostly from my sketches and some business cards I have seen in real life. A business card should not be extremely flashy or something you have to look at for over 5 seconds. This is why I went a simple route for my business cards but also colorful.

So without this first step there would be no way for the others to follow making your first task of the day your most important 

  artist statement: My inspiration for this piece was my love for the movie bench warmers. Growing up this was my favorite movie and Clark who is in the picture is my favorite character. The challenging part of this assessment was making an accurate mask so that it would look correct in the photo and blending the grass with my feet is what took the most time. This project was really fun and I believe mine turned out very good.
