My name is Amruta Bhavsar and I am a Design senior at Freestyle Academy. This fall, I will be attending California College of the Arts to study interaction design. Over the past two years, I have cultivated a plethora of skills and interests related to digital design and art, and the two projects that I selected to present reflect that.<\/p>\n<h2>Movie Design<\/h2>\n<p>In Design, we were tasked with coming up with a movie plot where we are the main character. What I came up with is a horror movie called Vespertine, and the main character (me) has a dog that goes missing one day. I spend weeks looking for him, but can\u2019t find him. Eventually, he makes it back on his own, but seems different. Weird things start happening around the house and the dog acts different and strange. Eventually, I figure out that her dog is dead and his body is just being possessed by a demon, and so I make several attempts to get rid of him before finally figuring out how to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Because the movie centers around the dog, the poster, package, and ticket all do as well. Since the assignment was to keep the design minimalist, I chose to make the graphic on the poster just the eyes and nose of the dog, and it was also creepier that way. To make it extra scary, I made the eyes of the dog red and the pupils really small. I created the font of the title using Adobe Illustrator on an iPad. The letters are supposed to look like they\u2019re made up of little tufts of dog fur while also being tall and skinny to fit the horror aesthetic of the rest of the poster.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_185\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-185\" style=\"width: 579px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-185 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AmrutaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-14-at-2.09.47-PM.png\" alt=\"an all black poster with red dog eyes and a faint nose over white scrawly text that reads Vespertine\" width=\"579\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AmrutaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-14-at-2.09.47-PM.png 579w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AmrutaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-14-at-2.09.47-PM-241x300.png 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My minimalist move poster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The design of the packaging is very minimalistic as well.

The objective was to produce a piece of music using Reason MIDI instruments, Pro Tools MIDI instruments, live musical tracks, and effects to enhance the song. I chose to create an original song, so I started my process by writing out the lyrics. The song is about change and the feelings that come with people in your life leaving and moving on. At the time of the writing of the lyrics, it had really hit me that this was our final year and everything I\u2019d ever known would change after it was over. All my friends and I would be going off to college and the thought that I could possibly never see them again was weighing heavy in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>Because this was a very emotional topic for me, I felt that it was a given that the music itself would have to be depressing as well, so I took a pretty piano piece I really liked that I\u2019d learned in freshman year and sort of improvised it until I found a melody I thought would work. The original piece is called \u201cFlight of the Monarch\u201d and is by one of my favorite contemporary composers, Melody Bober;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v8JNDVdEz6k\">\u00a0you can listen to it here.<\/a>\u00a0Below is a video of my piano improvisation on it:<\/p>\n<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-tsdh1hncgn8\" style=\"max-width:1000px;\" class=\"arve\">\n<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n<div style=\"aspect-ratio:105\/59\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.190476%\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-tsdh1hncgn8\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tsdH1HNcGN8?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"561.90476190476\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tsdH1HNcGN8?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"1000\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/freestyleacademy.rocks\\\/~AmrutaB\\\/showcase\\\/#arve-youtube-tsdh1hncgn8\",\"@type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/embed\\\/tsdH1HNcGN8?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve-error\">\n<p><small><abbr title=\"Advanced Responsive Video Embedder\">ARVE<\/abbr> error: Mode: lazyload not available (ARVE Pro not active?), switching to normal mode<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>I decided on the main melody and then began to digitize it.
