This page features my requirements for the Digital Media and Arts program at High School North. I invite you to look at the other parts of my website as well. Below you will find the very best of some photos, videos, and original graphics that I created.

- Original Video: In this video I am reviewing and demonstrating various guitar pedals. The goal of the video is to allow users to preview some of the various pedals before purchasing for themselves. I recorded the video with my cell phone and mixed the video using iMovie software. I also created a YouTube Channel called Musical Montages to host this video and to post additional music related videos in the future. I created all the original artwork in the YouTube channel and thumbnail using PicsArt, Snapseed and Photo Editor+ for iOS.
- My WordPress Website: I purchased the domain andrewbreen.info and installed WordPress on the site. I then chose a WordPress theme (Twenty Seventeen) and plugins such as Photo Gallery to showcase my interests.
- Photography Portfolio: I love taking pictures, and have entered a few photo contests including the Monmouth County Fair where my Sunrise photo won second place in the teen division. I also entered the DeepCut Gardens Photo contest. In that contest, my photo “Pinecones” won second place in the Youth Macro category. The first 5 photos on the slideshow are my favorite. The first photo is the one that won second place at the fair. The second photo in the gallery is Pinecones.
- Original Graphic: On this page, is an original graphic logo that I created using Google Draw for the Tech Tutor Club at Thorne Middle School. In this club I helped teachers and students troubleshoot their technical technical issues they had with Google Classroom and various media equipment in the school. I joined this club because I love technology and also enjoy helping others solve problems. Additionally, I started creating original graphic ideas which I hope to someday turn into a clothing line called “Limits“. The original art I create for these logos are meant to inspire people to overcome their personal obstacles and push the limits everyday.
- Original Work: I have a few YouTube channels and Instagram accounts where I create and post original content. An account that I am proud of is one where I create original band art for others to enjoy. Starting with photos of musical artists, I edit and arrange the photos to create interesting graphics. I came across similar styles of these pictures and decided to alter it for an original technique that combines my love for music and technology. I use Snapseed and PicArt on my iPhone to create them. I often take requests from other Instagram members and create graphics for them. Please enjoy the graphics I create on my account band.visuals.
