The Finale... ECHOS PORTFOLIO

 The art: 




















The artist statement: 

The portfolio you just seen above is all my work I have created with much grace and sweat, and then curated together to become "professionally" presentable. I used Adobe's color palette on custom mode to perfectly pick out the correct colors that represented who I am as the artist which was turquoise (#7ADFCE) (a popular mineral used in Indigenous jewelry and regalia), dark green (#025000) for nature, then red (#DF3E3E), yellow (#E1D656), white (paper) from the medicine wheel, and dark brown (#7C4300) for a neutral color to match the rest of the color theme. The Adobe font "Superior Title" was my best friend in accomplishing a groovy, sophisticated look I wanted to show style but also professionalism. My body text is all Adobe's font of "Khmer MN" which isn't the original font I want ("Bebas Neue") but it did an alright job of a being a good body text since it is still readable and stylized to fit the portfolios theme. Overall, the theme of weirdo native pop is incredibly relevant in my portfolio and I know that anyone who sees this will think it is unconventional and doesn't necessarily fir the modern look of professional portfolios but I think it would be fake and plastic of me to make something that didn't represent me and who and I am.

Platon Inspired Photography

In your own words, describe an image from the documentary or  “The People’s Portfolio”  that brought you close to your own emotions? I truly think that the photograph of Michelle Obama on the cover of TIME magazine with the title of "The Meaning of Michelle," resonates with me and my journey to success as well. I think I speak for a lot of women and not just myself when I say that Michelle Obama is an amazing leader to look too since she had been such a great advocate for children during her husbands time in office. Her portrait from Platon is immensely powerful in a way that influences me to continue to not only work hard, but to reach those goals I have set for myself in the future. The portrait also makes me feel as if I can see the struggle and success in her eyes, not just the raw-ness of emotion, but also seeing the past, present, and future in one singular take done by Platon. I think that for me this would be my most re...

Post Card from Dallas, Texas by Echo Prescott made in Adobe InDesign

Post Card from Dallas, Texas for the Total Solar Eclipse:  Artist Statement:      I chose to make my postcard from the one city of Dallas, Texas that was going to experience the solar eclipse in its totality. I decided to go the corny hallmark route with my postcard design since my only information about Texas or an image of Texas as someone who has only ever lived in Wisconsin and Florida is that Texas is "yeehaw," culture up the wazoo. So, with this yeehaw culture, I thought what would be better than to make the postcard a sort of joke to mock Dallas, Texas. I think that joking here and there in your artwork allows for people to realize that not everything I supposed to be taken super seriously. I think that we as a society in America have grown soft in terms of joking and expressing personal beliefs, so with my postcard, I am trying to show others that it is still okay to mock things as a joke. At the end of the day, if you can't laugh at yourself then what is the...
