My name is Julia Perna and I am currently in the second semester of my Junior year at the University of Tampa. I am a AD/PR major with a concentration in PR, but I spent my first year and a half here as a business management major. I'm originally from New York, and I lived there my entire life until I decided to come down to Tampa for school. Outside of my school and work life I love going to the beach, spending time with friends, walking the river walk, and just sitting in Plant Park on campus.
     I'm very excited to take this class because as a PR major it is very important for me to develop skills revolving around the Adobe cloud, which I have been trying to learn on my own for about a year now. I'm really looking forward to all the different projects we do, because creating different types of art has always been one of my passions and seeing a project come together will always be so interesting to me. From the first class, it was made clear that there is definitely going to be a lot of hands on learning which is personally my favorite way to learn, and I think that it will help enhance my performance throughout the course.

Business Card

Artist Statement: For my business cards, I kept my same color scheme that I have been working with since the beginning of the semester. I took three different stylistic approaches, ranging from casual to more sophisticated. Displayed on this post from top to bottom, it goes from most casual, mid casual, and most business-oriented. I am very happy this is a project we had to focus on during the class because this is an important skill I'm going to need for my future career, and dedicating a lesson to it gave me a big head start on the learning process.

Somewhere Project

For my "somewhere" project I decided to insert myself into my favorite show of about 10 years now, Gossip Girl. Before coming to Tampa for college I lived in New York, where the show takes place, so it was always nice to watch and be able to recognize most of the places they filmed at. The show focuses on the "elite socialites" in Manhattan in the early 2000's, so I've also always enjoyed watching the luxury and glamor the characters got to portray with their roles. I chose to insert myself against the car due to the symmetry of the picture, noting that the typical pattern of how they were arranged is boy, girl, and so on. Also, Blaire Waldorf (the brunette) is on the opposite side of the limo which allowed where I placed myself to even out the focal point of the image, instead of drawing all of the attention to one side. Lastly, I chose to use a navy dress because the overall color scheme of the image is on the darker side, with the exception of Jenny Humph

Propaganda Poster

  For my poster I decided to focus on one of the main problems that the current and future generations deal with on a daily basis: the overuse of screen time. While the creation of cellphones has been great for communication purposes, the developments that took place inside the phones (social media, more specifically) have allowed people to mask their identity and be someone they're not online. It leads to more bullying, more harassment, and way less internet safety than we have ever seen before... which all stems from how long you are allowing yourself to spend on your phone in a given day. I intended for my poster to serve as a reminder for people of all ages that the way you portray yourself online is not who you truly are (at least in most cases, if it is then good for you!), and your screen time number is a reflection on how much time you spend daily living in the fantasy world that you created by using your technology. Some apps are necessary, some are innovative, and some ar
