Photoshop Images



These are some Icons I created in photoshop. I found all of the images on flickr. The main purpose for this assignment was for us to get a grasp on the many selection tools in photoshop. I also messed around with a variety of other tools, especially the smudge and wharping tools. In the image with the zebras, I converted the background image to a black and white image. The sand castle was alot of fun and I used mainly the smudge tool to get this airbrushed, soft feeling, and to show the sand blowing away. I really like this project alot.

Roy Lichtenstein Style Self Portrait


This is the self portrait I made in Illustrator. I had to use a reference photo and use at least 4 layers in the process. The artist I chose to use as a mentor was Roy Lichtenstein, who is famous for his comic book-esque paintings in which he uses mainly primary colors with the use of bendi dots for shading, and thought/speach bubbles with text. The phrase is pretty self explanatory. Kind of.
