House Banner

       The house banner assignment was designed so that one person can look at a house banner and learn a little about the creator of house banner. For my house banner I included the things that I like and the things that are important to me. Again, I used Photoshop to make this house banner and inside photoshop I dragged pictures from the internet or just got shapes directly off photoshop. I used the marquee tool to make the triangles in the background and used pattern overlay to create the pattern in the heart. This assignment was one of the easier ones because it only required that you use simple tools in photoshop rather than the more advanced complicated ones that take time to master and use properly. 

Shepard Fairey Poster

            This assignment was inspired by the Obama Hope poster created by Shepard Fairey in the 2008 presidential elections. To create this image, I used photoshop however, the project started with a selfie in photobooth. From there, I had to copy just my body onto a blank canvas and delete all the white from the image to add color later. Then, we had to choose colors that all complemented each other and put them on each later that had deleted white. Finally, I added the word dreamer to incorporate a meaningful word into my poster just like the one in the hope poster. This was one of the more difficult assignments because you have to be very tedious and all the layers can become confusing if they are not properly labeled. 

National Geographic Assignment

For this assignment, we first had to create an animal or Darwinstien using components or body parts of multiple animals and combine it into one using Photoshop. I used a panda mouth, lion mane, a pair of bat wins, kangaroo and panther legs, the eyes of a wolf, and the body of a horse. I wanted my animal to look like an experimental mutation rather than an evolved creature bcause it would fit the title in my national geograpic magazine cover.  After we finished creating our animal we had to add it to the cover of a National Geographic Magazine and create headlines and subtexts for it. This assignment was fun because we got to be very creative and it was a free assignment to create whatever we wanted to.
