Cards

For this project, we had to create two cards for any kind of occasion. I chose to do new year and happy holidays. I chose to put in things that reminded me of those occasions. It was actually quite simple to do if you know exactly what you want it to look like. We had to go onto this website to get some ideas of what our teacher was sorta looking for.

Book Covers

For this project, we had to do two book covers. One had to be of a book that we've already read and the second one had to be of one that we haven't read. I think if we haven't read the book, the perception would change and we wouldn't have as many ideas because we would only know the gist of the book by what someone else told us. By reading the book, we would know more and try to be more creative with it all. Anyways, we had a choice if we worked with a partner on this project or not, I decided to work with someone.

Portrait Retouch

For this project, we had to take our own picture that we took ourselves and do retouches to it. You could make blemishes go away, make your teeth whiter, and etc. We did this by reading the steps from the handout and doing them in order. I chose to do one of my own portraits, but we could've done one of someone else. I like the outcome of this project because it made the picture look better. Because of this, I wouldn't do anything different next time.

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.
