Somewhere Final Project


In Adobe Photoshop, I edited a photo of me and Forrest Gump sitting together on the iconic bench from the movie. I took the original photo and used the lasso tool to outline myself and cut myself out. This part took awhile because I wanted it to look seamless and have the background from the original image be completely erased. Once I cut myself out, I added myself to the scene and ended up cutting out my feet because it didn’t fit in the frame. I then played with the filters and setting of the images to try and make it seem as realistic and seamless as possible.

Business Card Final

Image
Here are my *updated* and completed 5 business cards depicting: -Animal Lover -Compassionate -Curious -Creative -Adventurous I enjoyed created all of these but probably like animal lover best because it was fun to create the dog and cat. I t took me a while to finalize what I wanted to choose for my final logos. I played with them a lot, and decided I wanted them to be coherent with each other through their design and style. I really loved how they came out, simple but matching. I was able to use faces and eyes mutiple times which was nice. Making them colorful and pretty also took a long time but it was work it. I used Adobe Illustartor for this project.

Black and White To Color Project

Image
In Adobe Ilustrator, I chose a picture from my high school graduation and made it black and white. Then, I used the paint tool and started to color on myself. I zoomed in a lot to make sure I could color in the details in order for it to look realistic. I darkened my cap and robe to keep a color theme going, and added black lipstick with black ‘paint’. I then added a nose piercing and eyebrow piercing to top off the punk look. I made the background purple because I, again, wanted to maintain a color theme. I had a lot of fun with this project.

Mesh Final Project

Image
I really enjoyed the mesh project because it felt like I was designing a video game object. I first searched for an object in my room that would best show reflections, and have a change in colors to depict depth. I came across this water bottle and knew it was perfect. I used Adobe Illustrator and used the mesh tool to create the outlines of the water bottle to depict depth and shape, and placed them on top of the image following lines and highlights of the image. I then used the eyedropper tool to transfer the exact colors from the image of the bottle to my project. This part was the most time consuming, but also fun because attention to detail was key, so I had to really pay attention to the exact placement of the colors I was taking and where I was putting them to make it look as identical as I could to the actual bottle. I then separately created the lid using the same technique. I’m proud of my results and how realistic is looks.
