30 years of Macintosh

We were assigned to design a poster representing the 30 years of innovation and creation of Macintosh. Part of the rubric was to make sure the font used Helvetica and only used one image. It was supposed to be simple and unique. So, I attempted to do that by trying to make a pattern of one of the quotes Apple uses on a already existing poster by just copying and pasting it in a sort of grid line thing. This project was cool, I didn't really have any problems with it except for the fact that I sort of had a hard time transferring from Photoshop to Illustrator. But after I spent a few minutes on it I got the hang of it.

Hendrix University

We had to make an advertisement of a college. I decided since there is not a Hendrix University and there should be, I would make an ad for it.   Basically, I just took a picture of college graduates from google images and used one of the guy's face it and replaced it with a more beautiful face of Jimi Hendrix. I added a cool trippy background and a sentence for the ad that would make someone want to go there even more.

Drivers Wanted!

Mr. Cole assigned us a project that required us to create an old vintage advertisement for a Karting race.   He expected us to complete the entire project within four days. We had to research on the internet to locate a variety of logos and pictures to be included in the project. I believed this was a very good use of my time because I can now create advertisements! Whoo.

Christmas Project

     

Happy Holidays! 

Since I have a slight obsession with the Beatles, I decided to take it to the next level, with this.

I know its a bit weird but I had fun making it. I tried the best I could with the tree and ornaments and had it suspended from the ceiling. Secondly, I added some music notes to actually make it look like they're most likely making music. Originally the notes has a white background and I knew an easier way to get rid of the white without wasting time and erasing it all. Don't question why they're small sized and singing on a piano... Just don't. 

Lastly, I added a very 'nice' and 'colorful' background and I displayed the text 'A Beatles Christmas' to finish it off. 

Magic Lamp

The project I have just finished has been one of the more 'interesting' projects I've done. I really liked this project because everytime I look at it, it reminds me how intriguing it is. Including the girls facial expression and the spiders, the spider webs, and well, mostly everything. The timeline was a new feature we had to use and it was a lot easier than expected. Also I learned how to use new brushes to decorate certain items such as the smoke and the spiders. I loved this project.

Invisible Man

In this project, I probably have used the most masks I ever have used at any project I've ever done. I definitely learned more about them then I used to. We've used the clone stamp and pattern stamp a couple times before and they've always been a struggle for me. For the jeans, I finally learned how to use them both and it was a lot easier than expected. The head part though and getting the collar to look right, was a bit of a struggle too. I learned that I was just making it a lot harder then it really is. Overall, this project was quite 'interesting' to do.

Me, Myself and I

This project was very entertaining to work at. Mr. Cole took a picture of us using his camera and we first had to convert it from camera raw, so we could work on it through Photoshop. I learned how to  use the healing brush and clone stamp to work on realistic pictures.  I especially liked when we used blend modes and filters to create the effect of skin softening. This was an awesome project.
