About Me

Hello, my name is Molly O'Hara. I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. During May of 2020, I earned my B.S. in Marketing and wrapped up my collegiate swimming career at the University of Tampa. Soon, my daily schedule will change drastically. It will be filled with new passions, as well as old hobbies that got lost during my time in college. I am spontaneous, outdoorsy, drive, and express my passions through my daily life and photography. Unlike others, I don't always have a plan. I go for it! That's why I love nature photography. You never know what you'll get. I believe the course, Digital Media, brought my creative side to the surface which will be excellent moving forward for my Marketing degree and my hobbies.

Digital Media enhanced my skills and familiarity with the Creative Cloud software. I want to transition the skills I learned from this semester into my career down the road. Additionally, I am thankful for being pushed by my classmates and my professor. After everyone introduced themselves on the first day, I instantly recognized the talent and culture within the room. Lastly, as this was my last semester here at The University of Tampa, I am thrilled to see where new doors open up and to where my new skills lead me.

Illustrator CC - Self Portrait- "Be True. Be You. Be Kind."

Illustrator CC - Self Portrait "Be True. Be You. Be Kind." I believe mantras inspire and give confidence to people so they can do or become whatever their heart desires. Furthermore, mantras have the ability to bring together large groups of people for one common goal.  For my self-portrait propaganda poster, I chose the quote “Be True. Be You. Be Kind.” because it personifies who I am. This mantra was first told to me by my mother right before the beginning of my sophomore year. It has stuck with me ever since. Self-confidence is something that many people struggle with on a daily basis, because of their inability to “ignore the noise.” Too many people are told they look ugly, are fat, or have something else wrong with them. Those negative words can destroy individuals with very little self-confidence. Being true, being you, and being kind gives people the confidence they need to ignore the noise and simply be happy with who they are. I believe everyone is perfectly ...

Photoshop - Somewhere

Image
Photoshop ~Somewhere~ Somewhere, a place that we were asked to place ourselves. The purpose of this piece is to put ourselves in an area that we would love to be or haven't been. Above, is either a picture that was taken from a drone or a helicopter. Accurately, this photo captures the NYC Marathon runners. I chose this photo because I want to one day run a marathon. As a retired student-athlete, I love competing and training for a goal.   Above is the picture I chose for myself. I had a friend sit on top of their car and take this for me with their iPhone. We both thought it was a great idea to run with the sun beaming down on my right side to create the correct running shadow. I chose to use an iPhone for capturing this to match the blurry effect as much as possible. I will say I enjoyed choosing this for my first somewhere experiment because it wasn't overly challenging. It allowed me to focus on the small details of masking with photoshop and using the a...

InDesign - Business Cards

Image
InDesign ~Business Cards~ For this project, we were asked to create three business cards through InDesign while incorporating the previous logo we made in Illustrator CC. The three layouts I designed are below! Business Card 1 - Front Business Card 1 - Back For this first card, I wanted to keep the layout clean and sleek while still being creative. I didn't want my logo to be on the front of my card because I felt as though it would be too cramped. Therefore, I chose to keep the front, simple and sleek while still maintaining the design. Also, the footprints guide the viewer's eyes to the edge of the card, which would cue them to flip it over to find my information. Honestly, this is my favorite design out of all three. The colors are calming and arent too harsh on the eyes. Business Card 2 - Front For the second business card, I wanted to create the second version of my first design. I love cool-toned colors and wanted to emphasize the camer...
