Inroduction



 
Hello! My name is Sara Shannahan and I am a freshman at UT. I'm from a small town called Buena Vista in Colorado, so Tampa has definitely been a big change! I love to travel, play volleyball and hangout with my friends. Some of my excursions have taken me to multiple different islands in the Caribbean to earn my scuba and sailing license, and all over the country of Costa Rica for a study abroad trip through the honors college. Being able to take incredible opportunities, such as a study abroad trip, is one of the many factors that drew me to UT. Though I am no professional athlete, I enjoy spending my time playing volleyball, sand or otherwise, and love that it has allowed me to make more connections on campus. I have also taken up a recent interest in yoga, and am exited to see what else UT has to offer. Trying new things is my favorite way to get out of my comfort zone, whether it's downward dog or coding various shapes, I like to keep an open mind.

Complex Illustration

 This assignment was by far the most challenging using illustrator, and I think it was a good way to exercise our knowledge while using the software. My outcome is definitely not perfect, but nonetheless I do feel like I have improved my abilities in illustrator. I chose to recreate my favorite picture of my best friend from high school, because it always makes me smile when I see it. While I struggled throughout the process of this assignment, I think it was a great way to improve my skills. My friend Macy got a good laugh from it too!

Rotoscope

  This assignment was definitely the most challenging one so far, and I had a hard time with how time consuming it was. I don't think I will be doing another one ever again. Although it wasn't the most enjoyable for me, it was very interesting to see a method of animation, and the things it can be used for. I hit many bumps in the road for this assignment and my final outcome is far from perfect. Despite this, the finished product was fun to watch!

Lyrical Poster

  For my lyrical poster, I was inspired by Taylor Swift's song, "Karma." This is my favorite song on the album, so I tried to incorporate things she describes in the lyrics for my poster. I also wanted to make it a little more personal to me, so I added in a photo of my own cat, Trouble. This was a really fun project because I love music, and I think this was a great way to make a visual piece to correspond with one of my favorite songs. Photoshop has been a really great experience so far, and I definitely enjoyed working with it for this project.
