DIGITAL STORY Richard M. Cano

A.C.T.S.

During practice with my group, I saw this coffee cup. I thought it was neat how the artist incorporated San Antonio by using the Spurs and the A.C.T.S. abbreviation. I've seen the A.C.T.S. abbreviation on many things, including bumper stickers and decals, but this is something a little bit more personal, since the owner will be using it to wake up to every morning.

Keyhole Effect

I came across this while on Facebook. This is my cousin and one of her best friends. I thought that it was a great demonstration of the Keyhole Effect used correctly. This image is eye-catching and says a lot about my cousin just through her eyes. I'm glad that I came across this image by happenstance.

Graphic Design

I was remembering today how much design work I used to do at my old company. I also remember that I got paid significantly less than I do now. I am not great at drawing at all, but I think I find a way to convert my amateurish drawings into great design work. Doing what I do now is completely different, and I am grateful that I can do what I do now and still have a little time to do some graphic design work.

Art

With all the digital media artwork on the Internet, and with all the Adobe and Adobe Photoshop design and artwork that I do, I do stop and appreciate actual artwork created without digital media, even though it might be replicated with such. There is a different sense of sensuality that is always present in artwork. You can almost sense the artist's feelings within the artwork. It is difficult to replicate this when your only interface with the artwork is a computer. When it is not, there are some sparks as the digital meets the traditional.

Multiplicity

As I walk through life, I try not to limit myself. I've tried many different things and have accomplished many talents. In music, I didn't limit myself to one instrument; in cooking, I didn't limit myself to the kitchen; in design, I didn't limit myself to Photoshop. In fact, I went into photography and programming. I cooked indoor dinners on the grill, and I picked up instruments from different parts of the world. I want to continue to grow, and I am grateful that I can see myself through different lenses and in different ways.
