Who is Jaide?

 


Hey! I'm a 19-year-old from Neptune Jersey who was born on March 12, 2004, and I'm excited to see what this digital media class has in store for my artistic journey. Brachial plexus struggles shaped my journey and gave me the courage to transform obstacles into possibilities. Being unable to participate in self care activities or sports, I turned to the design industry for comfort. I came to The University of Tampa to have a degree in Journalism and Public Relations.

 

Enrolling in this class, my primary expectation is to master Adobe skills, a game changer for my graphic design business. Adobe's suite, including Photoshop and Illustrator, holds the key to unlocking new dimensions of creativity. It's not just about pixels it's about transforming my ideas into visually compelling stories.

 

One day, when I was reading a book, I felt inspired to think back on my life's journey. My poetry book, "Shy But Not So Shy," a true story, was the result of this reflection and was self-published on January 1, 2024. In addition to working on digital art, I enjoy networking, making designs, and experiencing new things in life. This course is about creating a future where every design tells a story and every obstacle becomes an opening for achievement, rather than simply perfecting skills.

As someone already immersed in the graphic design business, learning these software platforms not only broadened my capabilities but also refined my approach to visual storytelling. From the outset, navigating through the intricacies of Adobe Illustrator to the nuanced editing features of Photoshop, and the layout finesse of InDesign, each phase of this course presented its own hurdles and triumphs. Throughout this demanding course, I've encountered moments of struggle and growth, from the initial learning curve to mastering advanced techniques. Yet, with persistence and dedication, I've emerged equipped with a comprehensive understanding of Adobe tools that will undoubtedly serve me well in my future endeavors.

BW to Color

  The strong emotional connection this image embodies led to the choice to colorize it from black and white. It was taken at a special photo session with my mother and captures the love, enduring bond, and trust that exist between us. When the artwork was first created in black and white, it had depth and inspiration that never went out of style. However, adding color again gave it fresh vibrancy and made the scene happier and more cheery. The vivid colors not only made the scene more visually appealing but also reflected the warmth and excitement that filled our relationship, turning a lovely moment into a spectacular celebration of connection and love.

Business Card

Using InDesign, I was able to incorporate deep symbolism into each design to create personal business cards that truly reflected who I am. The first card represents the light I bring into people's lives; it has a captivating eye. My presence brings joy and support, much like the eye is a window to the soul. The vivid green color represents my name, Jaide, like the priceless Jade stone. The second card, with the initials "JG," pays tribute to my ancestry and my great-great-grandmother's name Georgiane. Finally, the third card's bright blue color represents my zodiac sign, Pisces, which is a sensitive and adaptable water sign. These cards were mostly created by hand using InDesign's rectangle tool to create the color backgrounds. In order to achieve the ideal colors and make sure every shade had the intended meaning, the Adobe Color Wheel was essential. Using the fill Gradient tool to provide depth and dimension, the second card's design was a particularly ...
