GSA poster

For the GSA club they wanted to have a movie night and the only movie I heard was going to be watched was Milk and I told Monican the head member of the club about Gus Van Sant's other film called Elephant so I put that in too. The Graffiti Artist I heard about and thought it would just look good too in the poster and I liquified the edges like the others and maybe should've put an image below it like I did for Elephant, but I had a hard time finding a good one. The bottom black space to the left is actually for more info since they want to use it later so the date needs to be changed too. I'm going to make some minor adjustments to it later on, but I'm not going to lie I like overall how it turned out.

Moog poster

This past weekend this sick electronic/hip-hop music festival went down in Ashville, NC and I was
so bummed not be able to go. My good friend Truman went and said it's was unbelievably awesome and I'm sure it was. I found a Moogefest name tag and a photo of the show from last year and changed the opacity so it would show through with the lights an everything. Then I picked out the top artist's I wanted to see and arranged them in a order based upon the backround which is a phot I liquified and made the colors of it show through the pictures of the various artists. I love how it looks and wish I could make some money off of it so I could go next year haha.

Replica of Photographer's manipulated photograph

For this assignment we had to replicate photographs that were manipulated using the old style of analog photography which would take day to do while with photoshop it's much easier to do. I thought it would be a little challenging, but it proved to not be so bad as with most things in photoshop once you know how your going to go about doing it. I'm content with the way it turned out and the new useful tools I got to learn how to use. Really like the opacity tool because I feel like that's something that could help me make more cool stuff in the near future. Thanks Ms. Burnette

blue toned print

kaleidoscope

For this assignment I had to follow a tutorial on youtube on how to make a kaleidoscope. It was very easy to follow and I was glad the way the picture I chose worked so well for a kaleidoscope. I feel very satisfied with the way it turned out and I hope to make more now that I know how.

photfuniapicture-akira poster

For this assignment we had to choose one photo-editing sites, chose one of the pictures shown in the site that would go well with our own picture. I just finished reading a book about the artwork of a famous manga series that is very interesting and the illustrations are amazingly detailed. I chose one of the illustrations and thought it would look cool in a public place as a sort-of poster. I really like the way it looks in that setting and I might have found another illustration which might have looked better, but its pretty good.

abstract painting project nov.2011

This assignment was based off of a movie we watched in class about a little girl at the age of 4 who made abstract paintings that became very popular and eventually began to sell for tons of money. We had to do our own abstract painting with lots of colors blended together and at first I just played around for a while, experimenting with various colors, using tools to manipulate them, and trying to make it more appealing each time. While I was creating my image I used my knowledge of spray painting by adding layers and blending colors the same way someone would spray paint. With spray painting if the can is spraying close to a wall the more thick the paint is and further away from it will fade around the edges and not drip. I found that the paint tool on the photoshop format is very similar to a spraypaint can with the way it fades around the edges and a softer look to it. I like the outcome of my work and I think my choice of colors was perfect. I cant say there would be anything that I would do differently next time because it is abstract and that's kind of hard to change
