The Thing that i like by Julie Le | BOOK INFO

This is the final results for my book. I had a hard time finding a theme for my project so at first it was suppose to be panoramas that I liked then I thought that I should add other photos that I liked in my book as well. It took a long time for me to go out and take the pictures and edit them through photoshop. I was going to add some text in it but I thought it would hinder from the pictures.

Alex Ingram

Alex Ingram is a current student at Cal State San Marcos that did a lecture about after graduation and graduate school. I thought this was very interesting because I always thought about what I would do after getting my bachelor's degree but I didn't know what to do. Having him talk about what he did and his experiences with applying and what he does to get internships and apply for grad school. I thought it was very interesting and I learned a lot!

Ash Thorp

Ash Thorp was a previous student of Cal State San Marcos that came back to talk about his experience with applying for jobs and what companies look for in employees. I thought that his presentation interesting for the most part because he was once like us. I liked seeing his unique style in his work and how he is also able to do commercial art. His presentation was informational, providing us with firsthand knowledge on what it's like to apply to jobs and what he did to get his portfolio out here. I feel naive for  not knowing that you needed a portfolio of your work to send to prospecting employers until listening to his presentation. Overall he was very informative about job applications and what it's like after graduation. 

Barbara Krugar

Barbara Krugar is a conceptual artist that uses appropriated photographs montages with text. Her work usually consist of black and white photos with bold colored text. I really enjoy looking at her work because they make you think. They mainly about body image and women's self esteem. I really like that she makes the general public aware of these issues women go through about looking good and having nice things because it shouldn't be an issue where women should feel pressured to look and act a certain way and own certain things to be beautiful. Her artwork challenges traditional views of the role women play in the house hold and in society.

Louise Fili

Louise Fili, like the others is a graphic designer. Her work has gain the popularity over many well known companies. What I like about her style is that she has a cute yet classy look to her work. Her color choices are springy and light. I like the simplicity of her work and it's refreshing to see opposed to all the masculine primary color based graphic designs out there. Her work branches out to labels for foods and company logos and I think as a female artist that she is an inspiration. Looking at her work makes me want to work on my technique and my signature style as a graphic design artist. Her work with typography has made me look at fonts and words in a different light, now I realized I can use it as another style to make art.
