Stencil Revised

6 Racism Images

For all of these projects, they were all based around one word, racism. In the first one, a white boy and a black boy are grasping hands, showing that you should not discriminate against each other even if your different skin colors. I put an artistic filter on this image to make it different. For the second picture, there is one brown egg and the rest are white. This illustrates how people with colored skin weren't included in anything. I also put a filter on this and turned up the saturation to give it more color. Next, for my third project, there are white and black spoons. Although the black spoon is broken because the blacks were constantly being hurt and bullied because of their skin color. I put a film grain on this and turned up the exposure. Also, in my fourth project, the theme of racism is continued where a green fish is being stopped from joining orange fish. This is relating to the blacks not being able to mix and have the same opportunities as the whites. I turned up the saturation and also put a tone on this picture to make it stand out. For my fifth project, it shows people of different color skin that have bonded and came together. This shows how people can fight through racism. I put a neon glow effect on the picture and recolored each arm a different color. Lastly, I have a picture of Martin Luther King who was against racism and brought it to an end. I put a gradient and black and white effect on this picture and made it look antiquely. In the end, I really liked this project and enjoyed learning about the history of racism through pictures.

Power of One Text Illustration

We were to pick one word and represent it in an illustration with text. Throughout the movie Power of One, hope is a constant word that people are seeking for. Therefore, I chose hope as my word that I would illustrate in this project. I chose rocks as the background because I found them as an appropriate image to put in. I put a vivid light effect on the rocks and lowered the opacity and fill to make the word hope stand out more. Also, I chose a cursive font because it looks more sophisticated and fit the words connotation better. I put a drop shadow on hope and then darkened it, so that you know what this project is based around. In conclusion, this project was not one of my favorites but I still enjoyed working on it and it gave me something to do.

Power of One Movie Poster

When I began this project, I really wanted the title to pop with the word One, because it is a very important piece to this movie. I placed encouraging words in the background like bold, strong, fear, brave, and hope. All of these words related to the journey that PK faced throughout the movie. To add a little more, I found a person holding up one, and I thought that would add the finishing touch and wouldn't make it so bland. I lowered the opacity so that it wouldn't stand out too much and that did just the job to finish up the project.

MEOW STENCIL

For this project I found 6 pictures of supre cute cats. I then used a heart stencil to cut out bits of each picture. I thought it would be a good idea to arrange the pictures into a collage, so I did. Although, it needed some type of background and I happened to come across this meow picture. This fit the project perfectly so I put it in and dimmed the opacity of the cats and also used the put light in effect which gave it the finishing touch. Im very proud of this work even though they are not my pictures because it shows how I thought out of the box.

Stencil Project

I took a pair of jeans and made it my stencil. Then I found different pictures of me and my friends and used the stencil to cut parts of the picture out. Then I put filters on each of the jeans to give it a different look. Afterwards I found a colorful background and lowered the opacity to make the jeans pop more. I liked this project because I was able to use my creativity to figure out to use a pair of jeans as my stencil.

Met Museum Picture

I really liked this project by Matthew Porter. I really like the fantasy of a car flying, and how it fits right into the background. The way they edited the car in was perfect, and you can't even tell the difference. I also enjoy the fact that they used a sepia colored effect on the picture. I think it gives it that last touch to pull the picture together.

"Authentic" Project 2

In this project, it was the same concept as before, by using only your work. I took a picture of Daniel looking to the side and then I took a picture of the warrior mascot. I tied it together and put the mask on to Daniels face. I think this was a creative idea and it turned out well. I liked this project because I was on my own and could develop my own ideas.

"Authentic" Project 1

For this project, I had to take two pictures of mine own and somehow incorporate both of them into a piece of work. I decided on taking a picture of my school and then a picture of myself acting like I was balancing on one foot. I then used the lasso tool to cut myself from the background and erased everything behind me. Afterwards, I placed myself on the building and evened out the shadows to make it look more realistic. I would have to say that this is one of my best works, and I am very proud of it. I liked this project very much, and enjoyed knowing that everything in this was my own work.

Typeface

This is a project that Daniel, Adam, Brea, and I worked on! In this alphabet assignment we had to take pictures of letters that were in our surroundings! Some of the letters were extremely hard to find but we finally reached our goal and started assembling the photoshop part of the project. This was the easy part but it took time to fix each image to their designated area! I think I could have organized the letters better but since there are 26 letters in the alphabet making an equal design is impossible! We all enjoyed this project including the picture part and I am now going to start on my Batesville Project!

Batesville Tshirt Design

This is a design that Daniel and I worked on for the Batesville Day T-Shirt contest. We took a landscape from Batesville, then we put a filter on it that we thought made it look unique. Then we added text with basic information about the event. This would look really good on the back of a t-shirt or on the chest of a t-shirt, on the left side. 

Comic Strip

For this project, Adam and Brea played lovers and we edited the images to make them cartoon like. To add to the cartoon effect, we put speech bubbles in each scene. I worked in a group on this project with Daniel, Adam, Gill, and Brea.

Second Chair Project

 

This is my second chair project. I used Lilly Pulitzer patterns to make the chair, so it has a girly feel. I added a drop shadow to make the chair come to life, and also put legs on it which have an opacity on them. I did this because it looked better when putting them in front of the purple background. I enjoyed this project because it was fun, quick, and easy.

Chair Project

In this project we had to cover a chair in artwork. To do this, I used the warp tool to make the artwork fit the chair. I also gave the image a shadow to make it appear more realistic.

Midterm Project

For the midterm project, we had to create a 5 by 7 grid, where you edited many images. I stuck with a girly theme by using flowers, hearts, and bright colors. I like the fact that each image is different by using filters and effects. I also enjoyed this project because I was able to be creative in my own way, and thats how I created this piece.
