I am a double major in Film and Photography and will be moving to New York to study film at Suny Purchase. I will one day become a cinematographer and do my own fine art photography projects on the side.
I am a senior at UNLV studying graphic design. I took this commercial photography class because I feel graphic design and photography go hand in hand, Art 347 definitely helped my photography skills which will aid my graphic design career later in the future.
Justin R. Gazmen The name is Justin Gazmen and I am studying to become a Graphic Designer. I like anything that is art. I love to create work that gives the viewers a push to someday create artwork of their own.

Kevin Tran, or also known as the black sheep of the ART347 class. Reason being is that he is a Biology major, but has learned so much about lighting and photography from the class while enjoying the class. It has seriously advanced his desire to continue photography.
I am a Graphic Design major at UNLV and I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Temperatures rise as school lets out for summer, and the beach is not far away. Now is the time for sun-drenched brights and vivid hues, for lazy days by the pool and long vacations. Neon is a huge trend right now, with fluourescent colors seen on everything from makeup to jeans. This is a fun style with a lot of personality and a cool 80’s vibe. Color blocking is one of the easiest ways to wear these bright colors. Simply find a solid top in a fluorescent color and pair it with solid bright jeans or shorts. Don’t forget the accessories, either! If you’re a bit too shy to wear all of these center-stage colors at once, col bright acessories are a great way to incorporate the look into your everyday style. Try adding a pair of bright heels to your outfit, or finding a vivdly colored purse. If you are feeling more confident about this trend, go crazy with it! Try some fun makeup looks, and mix and match your colors. A colorful eyeliner makes a great statement with a contrasting shade of eyeshadow. Or try a shade of lipstick in hot pink, coral, or orange. The possibilities are endless!For showcasing the new trends in neon colors, what place could be better than Las Vegas, home of thousands of neon lights? The photographs were taken at the Neon Museum, which houses and refurbishes retired historical signs.
