Project #1

Here are my 5-10 ideas for fictional products/companies.

1. Mood lighting - lamp that changes to the mood of the setting. (ex. romantic - dim; studying - bright; bedtime- off)
2. Photographic Glasses - put them on and you have a photographic memory
3. Shrink machine
4. Vampire repellent
5. Magic carpet
6. rocket sneakers
7. anti-gravity pill

The Beginning

Hello Art210,

My name is Victoria Blyde but everyone calls me Vicky. Currently, I am a senior at the University of Tampa and  come May I will graduate with a degree in Sociology. Over the past three summers I have worked at a company called Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority (MEFA) where I was a Human Resources intern. As a part of my job, I created the weekly newsletter, updating the employees on engagements, weddings, parties and so on. The company payed for me to take a one-day class covering the basics of Photoshop during my first summer there. Ever since,I have played around a lot with Photoshop, making pictures for my friends and stuff like that. The fun I've had working with Photoshop lead me to take this class as an elective. With the skills I acquire in this class I hope to continue using Photoshop (and other programs) as an artistic outlet. Also, I think it will be great to add an artistic dimension to my skill set. Below is the link to a google doc that shows a photograph of my friends and I in the Czech Republic. I edited it using Photoshop (very simple stuff).
