Color Wheel Stencil

Description: This was a very fun project. I did this project with my majestic partner; Michael DeSimone. We went on a dangerous journey through a far away land. We were daring and bored, so we travelled to the land call Western Albemarle High School. There, we took pictures of logos so we could brag to our friends back in lala land. We took pictures of logos such as nike and pepsi. Then, we took pictures of letter clip arts and we put the logos inside the letters. Then we added a photo filter to the logos. We also added a gradient background, we chose pink and white because white is white and pink is a very masculine color. Indeed, i just said that, so it much be true. We used the random principles of design to arrange our artwork. We decided to not limit ourselves by using an overall theme or a specific principle of design. It worked well, and although it is random, everything in the picture still goes well together. This project took about a day to do. I. Am. Done. Bye

Avatar 2

Description: This is my second avatar, personally, i like this one better. i put a lot more effort into this one. it took a very long time to find the monocle and the mustache and the hat. it took me 10 minutes to find out the name of the glass, it is called a monocle. This is my alter ego as a london man. I like their accents and the city itself. their customs and the way they do things are different, yet interesting. I enjoyed this project. It was very fun to make and i really like the picture that came out.

Avatar

Description: This was a very simple project that took around 10 minutes to make. i simply took a picture of myself on photo booth and edited it on photoshop. i erased the background of my photo booth picture, leaving only myself. Then i used the warp tool and liquify tool to change my face. i enlarged my eyes and made myself have a half-smile. Then i took images from google and copied them onto my picture. i found a picture of a halo and wings. Then i found a high quality of the sky. The picture seems to blend in well because of all the white. I am wearing a white hat along with a white hoodie. This is my alter ego avatar. It is a picture of an angel, i know, pretty sarcastic.

Marla Project

Description: Marla is seen as a great child artist. She has received a lot of media attention for her paintings. She became famous at around the age of 4 and her paintings sold for thousands of dollars. She painted abstract artwork. This is my "Marla project". i simply used different options on the brush tool. I wanted my picture to represent the sun. The sun shines down on the earth from the cold and dark space. i wanted to put the colors to the extreme so things could pop out. This painting is completely inspired by Marla.

Chair Project

Description: This was one of the hardest projects i have ever worked on. It took many trials to achieve. The Warp tool was very hard to master, i tried it many times but i just couldn't get it right. Finally, i somehow warped the shadow to the point where it looked somewhat realistic. This is one of my least favorite projects. It is extremely hard and it takes a very long time to do.

Rainbow

Description: This is just a fun project that i decided to do. I got the background picture from google. It is clearly made by someone who knows photoshop much better than I do. I colored the entire picture blue with a wavy line of pink that I drew with the spray tool. Everything is colored except the word "Rainbow." I left that word alone. It has the colors of the rainbow in it, but I didn't color that in. The rainbow colors are in the background. This project took a decent amount of time to think of and make. The word "Rainbow" has shadows so it can be seen better.

Cartoon Comic

Description: In my opinion, this is one of my best projects. It is a comic that is full of humor. My friend (Jack) and I are the main characters in the story. This is the finished version of the comic, it has been filtered to look more like cartoons. I am especially proud of the background, it has to been overlayed. And in my opinion, it is very cool. The story is very basic, the major point of this comic is to create humor and laughter. My name is the top right, with my friend's name below.










Description: This is the same project as the one above, except this one has not been filtered to look like a cartoon. The top one is the finished project, this is the "real picture" version of it. Everything is the same except the cartoon filter.

Visual Pun #2

Description: This is one of the few pictures that has my name in it. I have decided to include my name so i can get credit for the work i put effort into. This is another oxymoron, notice the words "star" and "fish". Instead of an actual starfish that lives in the sea, i chose the picture of a star and a regular picture of a fish. The words "star" and "fish" have been overlayed with the thing they represent. i overlayed stars on top of the word "star" and a fish over the word "fish". I also erased the parts of the overlayed pictures that were not on top of the words. I am proud of this work.

Visual Pun #1

Description: This is a picture of an oxymoron. As you can see, the background represents the Sport Baseball. You would think that there would be a baseball, instead, i have placed an eyeball. The entire picture has been changed, it seems a little cartoon-ish now. The font of the "eye" and "ball" are different, because eyes and baseball have nothing in common.

Filtered Self-Portait

Description: This is a picture of my friends and I. i copied and pasted the picture multiple times and clustered them into a grid. The picture in the top right is the only picture that has not been edited, except it is horizontally backwards. Every other picture has been rotated and edited with some kind of filter. The background represents myself very well. It is full of color and it suggests fun. Sadly, I am the only person in my picture that is actually smiling.

15 Green Things

Description: This is a picture of a car with a child and a woman inside. Everything in this picture are individual green pictures put into one. I have made the background grey so the important things will pop out. as you can see, a cat is being run over by the car as the woman who is driving it just keeps smiling (she's weird). he child is picking his nose and has a trashcan on his head that resembles a hat. I have changed the color of the green car into purple and i have added a few more adjustments to it.
