Design Tricks: A Down And Dirty Approach

For this project, we had to try out a design in one of the photoshop magazines. I chose to do Design Tricks: A Down And Dirty Approach. All we had to do was to follow the elaborate steps and create something out of our own images. There weren't that many steps but in each step, you had to do about three other things to the image. In the end, all the steps were worth it. They made the images blend together correctly.

Fake Andy Warhol

For this assignment, we had to create a fake Andy Warhol. We did this by following steps in a hand out that told us exactly how to do it. Some of the steps were hard to find, but I managed to find it sooner or later. I like the outcome of this project. This is because it doesnt look bad, I like the colors especially. Because I like the outcome, I wouldnt do it different next time.

The Power of One movie poster

For this assignment, we had to create a movie poster for The Power Of One. We had to include important stuff that the movie was basically about. As you can see, I mostly incorporated boxing into it because thats basically were he got his strength/power. Boxing helped him have the courage and strength to help people that needed it, african americans. Im proud with the outcome because I got the main idea based into it. Because of this, I wouldn't do anything different next time.

The Power Of One text

For this assignment, we had to choose a single word and have pictures that illustrated that word. I chose strength because he kept on getting up and fighting even though he was knocked down so many times. The pictures I chose to illustrate that word were picked because they show strength, like the one where hes hitting something trying to get better at boxing. He had to have strength to keep trying and trying to get better. When his friend died, he had to have strength to keep fighting for what he believed in was right. I am proud with this outcome because it all relates to one another. I wouldnt do anything different next time because of this.

The Power of One 6 images

For this assignment, we had to pick six images with one main theme. The theme I chose was courage. Then we had to choose another picture for the other pictures to be cut into. I chose a boxing glove because thats basically what the whole movie was about and he had courage in fighting. I am proud with the outcome. This is because it all relates to one another and makes sense. Next time, I wouldnt do anything different.

Color Wheel Stencil 2

For this assignment, we didnt have to use our own images but I did except for the stencil. I chose to use the breezeway as the main thing in common with these pictures. I chose a shoe as a stencil because it matched the theme of a breezeway, you have to walk through the breezeway. Then I added primary and secondary photo filters to the images. After that was finished, I added a gradient that was just a simple black and white, nothing fancy.

Color Wheel Stencil

For this assignment we had to practice Balance, Emphasis, Proportion, Rhythm, and Unity while using our own images. We had to take at least six pictures that had something in common with each other. I used pictures that had trees in it. Then we had to use a stencil (one from our own images) that works with the theme. I used a butterfly stencil because its nature too. After we did that, we had to use the stencil to cut out what we want from the other six original pictures. Once when we did that, we had to apply primary and secondary photo filters to the images. Lastly, we had to add a gradient. It couldnt be too complex of a gradient so i just used white a washed out purple and red.
