Photoshop Projects

In the the first project we did, I took a few photos and laid them out on top of each other. I messed with the opacity of the images to overlay them. I honestly didn't struggle with this project at all. I pretty much flew right through it! I had fun!

On this project, I struggled a little bit more. On the first part, I took a regular monarch butterfly and recolored parts of it. It was a little more difficult to blur the edges of the wings. The first one I did turned out pretty well, but my second wing ended up a little funky.

On this project, I used a new tool called the Layer Mask Tool. I started out with a regular picture of the school, and typed some words over it. I then inverted the selection, and colored it! Isn't that cool!

This was by far the most complicated Photoshop Project I have done yet. I completely got rid of some lamp posts, and faded some pictures together. I struggled with understanding what the directions were asking me to do, but i powered through and learned some new terms on my way!

POPtART

We’ve all seen this before. If you haven’t, you’ve been living under a graphic design rock. One of Andy Warhol’s most famous works, his portrait of Marilyn Monroe, is recognizable to anyone, just because of how famous the artist was. Using a publicity shot of Marilyn, Warhol created a few works through a silk screening process. He made the original, Marilyn , and then Marilyn Diptych , symbolizing the iconic woman’s death. In my own little way, I tried to create my own Andy-Warhol-based portraits of Hayley Willams, Gwen Stefani, Cara Delevingne, and Lady Gaga. Following a basic color scheme, I created Pop Art Portraits

What is Graphic Design?!?

What is Graphic Design?!? Graphic Design: Google(the best website in the whole world) puts it simply as the art or skill of combining text and pictures in advertisements, magazines, or books. Most GD conveys an image, a message, a language. However GOOD GD makes peoples lives better!! It’s a language for the living. It can be quirky! Or ugly! Or beautiful! Whatever it needs to be. And most of all, Graphic Design is simply dong what is right, not what the survey s ays. Only Graphic Design is like Graphic Design.
