Scanning Project

I finally figured out how to do this! (I'm kind of a bit retarded, and have never used a scanner before...) :) I used all of my favorite pieces of jewelry. Anything that looked like a feather, or sort of looked like one, really. I did a black and white one, and one in color. The black and white one was an accident, but I usually like those. Accidents, y'know.

Personal Landscape

Uhhh... this would be my "personal landscape". I just decided to do a scene from I dream I once had. The sky and the horse are from photos that I found on flickr, and the barn is one of my own photos. I dont know why I did it in black and white. Just felt like it. I did a couple others in color, but I guess I never got around to posting them... that's partially due to the fact that I cant seem to find my flashdrive. And partially because I am a very lazy child when it comes to the internet...and, uh....being consistent at all actually.

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.

Dog Made in Adobe Illustrator

I created this dog using Adobe Illustrator. We were provided with a base image, and created all of the overlaying shapes & whatnot on a seperate layer.

Death by Stick Figure?

Stick figures made in Adobe Illustrator. Despite the simplicity, this was fairly tedious to create.

Six Word Memoir

A six word memoir that "says something" about our personality. I'd rather sit on the floor than on a chair, so... heh-heh. Nothing too profound, sorry. The photo was taken during our first computer class. I added the text and made the photo black & white using Illustrator.
