  2. About Me I am an Informal Artist.. I am not a formally trained artist. I have never taken any coursework in drawing or had any person to teach me how to draw. I create artwork from imagination, from observation, and from memory. I teach myself how to draw by using free online materials available on the web, by studying images that I see in my environment , and then trying to draw these images. I can draw the following-People, Homes and Apartments floor plans and interiors, Furniture, Clothing, logos, and facial expressions. I enjoy drawing people. The image in upper right corner is an example of this. I like drawing realistic looking individuals and drawing dwelling places using Sketchup. Currently, I am interested in learning how to add personality to and animate my characters by using facial expressions and body language. Also, I am learning how to draw body parts and make my characters move using computer programming languages. I hope you enjoy my art-work! Table of Contents 1.

  4. The following slides of people were drawn while developing a website. The purpose of the website, which was first called, A Step to the Top, was to provide links to free online courses and tutorials that an individuals can use to develop job-related or career-skills. I picked the name of the site because it represents what the person is doing when he or she chooses to improve their skills-they take a step closer to the top level of success. I changed the name of the site to Proficiency Margin. I formed the word from the definitions of Proficient and Profit Margin. Proficient means to be advanced, able, accomplished, and have competency in a subject area. It means to be a skilled expert. Proficiency means "advancement in knowledge or skill“. Profit Margin, a Financial Term, is a ratio of profitability. It is revenue a company gets to keep after paying its expenses. Proficiency Margin means provides you with the resources you need to develop profitable skills. To develop the site, I came up with a theme. I developed an imaginary company called Proficiency Margin and developed a staff for it. The staff represented fictional characters who do what I do for the site-find free online resources with educational values, evaluate them, and then publish it on the site. Also, the staff is responsible for designing, writing the text on the website, maintaining the site, and also for responding to contacts from the public. Finally, the staff is responsible for managing the bookstore that I created on the site using Amazon Astore program. In addition to this, I created a fictional city for the office to be located at. The drawings in the cities and buildings, transportation (bus & cars), and interiors are part of the city where the company is located. Also, I needed to develop office The following slides contain the images that were created for the site using Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Draw: People: 4,5,6,7,23 Cities: 18 Furniture: 21 Transportation: 22 Logos & Business Cards: 26 In the end, I decided to not use the fictional company for the website and chose to not use the images.

  14. I wanted to study how to produce different facial expressions using eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. To do this, I changed the shape, size, and position of these features to attempt to produce different expressions. The first slide, “Futuristic People”, is an attempt to do this and produce Science-fiction like characters. To do this, I drew blue images and changed eyebrows, eye-shapes, and smiles to learn how to portray the emotions of sadness, anger, grief, and disinterest. In addition to this, I wanted to learn how to make Sci-fi like characters and what goes into making this type of character. I was not very creative in doing this but I did enjoy the thought process involved in trying to do this. I decided to draw circles on the faces of my Blue Characters. These circles represent cultural markings for their group. The males have theirs in a horizontal line on the right cheek and the women have their circles in an arc in the right side of the cheek. The other two images(brown) represent a male and female from a fictional tribe that I would like to someday use in a cartoon for a fable I considered writing a while ago. The next slide, “Eyes”, focuses only on the eyes. It’s a study on how eyes affect interpretation of a person’s emotions. The final slide, “Can you guess who had a bad day at the office?”, is also a study on how facial features and changing the head position can be used to convey different emotions in drawings. It’s also an attempt to create older characters using wrinkles and fine lines. If you would like to tell me what the facial expressions says to you about the drawings, you can do so at this site Graphic Design Portfolio ....Akua Asamoah

  29. Website Design SnackSleuth is a website I designed while learning website layout methods, how to create full-window websites, and CSS opacity. The site allows a user to find the nutritional values of items on a menu, such as a Hamburger meal. The components of the meal are decomposed into it's ingredients. Images of each individual ingredient is placed on the screen. When the visitor clicks the image, a table pops up that shows the visitor the calories, fat, sodium, and other nutritional data. Client-side scripting was used to create this table and CSS was used to convert the image on the left to that on the right. Before After Graphic Design Portfolio ....Akua Asamoah
