Lyrical Collage

I enjoyed working with this project. It was fun using these images since I just went to Disney this past weekend. I like integrating the different images onto a single background.

Magazine

I chose to do a cheerleading magazine because I had pictures from being on the cheer team last year. I enjoyed doing this project because it was on something I am interested in and was fun to do.

Photoshop Myself in Ireland

I enjoyed doing this project using photoshop. It was fun placing myself in a location that I someday hope to visit.

I really didn't like doing this project. It was very frustrating. At first I was going to make Bubbles from the PowerPuff Girls but it was too difficult. I am so glad it's over.

Vector Illustration

I enjoyed doing this vector project because I got to recreate a picture of my family members. Although it took a while due to specific detailing, my aunt and uncle turned out similar looking to the actual picture. My favorite part was working on my aunt's face.

This is the original photo.

Exquisite Corpse

This is Ted. He is a bird/octopus. I enjoyed making his head the most, yet struggled with the background because I wanted to use a gradient yellow color for the sun and a gradient blue for the sky but I couldn't figure out how to get the colors to change from greyscale. It was not allowing me to change to CMYK.

S'mores 'n More logo

I chose to make a logo for S'mores 'n More, a restaurant that allows costumers to indulge a favorite summer treat year round. They can add different treats such as Reese cups to ice cream. For my logo I chose to write the words in red letters because it is a warm color and reminds me of the fire that the marshmallows are roasted over. The letters are more organic with curves representing the outdoors where s'mores are usually made. I chose the iconic s'more in the middle because it is the best representation of what will be found in the store.
