pop art

Image
    For this project I didn't really have a style or artist I was trying to copy. For the most part I was playing around with different tools and asking neighbors what they were doing or how I could make mine better and used some of those ideas. I used different shapes and colors in the background to give contrast. I added a filter to my subject as well as color and adding other aspects. After I was happy with my image my teacher gave me the idea of duplicating my image like done in lots of pop art. As well as duplicating the image I also decided to make my subject bigger and fill up more of the frame.      For the colors I really enjoy light colors such as light pink, blue, and purple so I decided to use those in my picture. Other then that I didn't have a set theme in my project. With making the shapes I used different shape tools that photoshop prov...

nature man

Image
     At the start I couldn't figure out how to cut parts from the nature man as easily as I thought it would be. But once I figured it out it was pretty simple. after I got his jacket done I wanted to add a background image. This is where I had a lot of problums. I couldn't find a clear picture to use at first. Once I found a clear image to use i was having problems putting the background picture in place while also keep the picture I used for the jacket from overlapping. I asked for help from some of my class mates and they couldn't figure it out either. I decided to put the background on then lay the picture I wanted for the jacket over the jacket and erased the outsides of it so it fit in the jacket.      I enjoyed this project it helped me figure out new ways to do things on photoshop and now I know theres more then one way to do something if I'm stuck. Next time I want to be able to do the project without asking for help and finding things out on my ...

photo editing videos

Image
   We were taught how to do multiple things on photoshop with videos and pictures provided by our teacher. These videos showed us how to  Content Aware Fill, Patch Tool, Clone Stamp Tool, Healing Brush Tool, Spot Healing Brush, and the portrait collage.        With learning how to use photoshop its much easier with the videos. I can pause and go back and that helps a lot for me when I'm learning something new. However  I didn't like how I couldn't ask questions. I can ask my teachers questions but its not as helpful as if I was asking the person in the videos the question.        I did already know how to use some of the tools that were shown but I never knew exactly what to use them for. It was cool to be able to use them and now know how I can use them in the future. Some parts of the videos were easy to follow other parts I had a hard time keep...

Final Project

Image
     My group made a product called Ulu Lae and Ulu Lae is a hair growing shampoo that actually works. It works on bald spots and if you just want your hair longer. Making this product and the website, commercial, animations took about 10 weeks to finish and present everything. In the making of this product I personally found out that I am not the best at making animations or websites. But I have learned how to make animation and better my website making skills. Also I know how effective random groups are and that its important to listen to everyones ideas. We were told that our website, commercial, and animations need to be consistent and not look like 3 things that are totally different from each other. With that feedback we decided to pic a less wide color scheme and narrow it down to about 3 colors. Our product and presentation turned out better then I would ever imagine my group and I did a really well job on it in my opinion.        We got a lo...

Final Web project

Image
     After doing the first web project last quarter I kinda had an idea on what I was doing. I still needed some help getting through because this time was a little different.  I had a lot of questions and got confused very easily. but I'm really happy with how it turned out after I made all the changes.

My personality type

Image
      Taking the the test to find out my personality I thought there was no reason to take it and after I would just forget about it and not care. After finding out my personality type and reading about it I changed my mind, I read the description and thought it was 110% accurate. Then I started to look at celebs with the same personality type and it put me in the best mood. I found out I have the same personality type as Prince, Marilyn Monroe, Mozart, and Jacqueline Kennedy. Now that I know my personality type I'm so interested in it and can't wait to know more.       In another personality test we took I also discovered I was a golden retriever. Golden retrievers are loyal, caring, loving, and like to work alone and want strong deep relationships. I believe that this is all very true about me.

creating my logo

Image
      I thought making a logo for myself was going to be one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am the most uncreative person that has ever walked on earth. But I began sketching and I had no clue what so ever on what I wanted this logo to look like. I drew random shapes and designs that hoped would just somehow look good together. I got two ideas that worked out pretty well.              Putting the ides on to illustrator and deciding what to do with them was way easier then I thought it made it was easier to decide what one I enjoyed most. I scratched the other one and totally dismissed the idea. Starting to play around with the other one random ideas popped into my head and I tried them just to see how it would work.                                                         ...
