15 green things

On this project we had to use 15 green images and make it into our own. We were allowed to change colors, put the images in any form we wanted to, we just had to use all the photos. As soon as i saw the car I immediately thought of making bumper stickers and stuff to be connected to and covering the car. I started by making one grass lawn out of the original one made smaller and duplicated it many times. Then I focused on the car. I erased the back left part of the fender so i could make it look like the car was behind the post. I started making stuff connected to the car and it just went from there. I am pretty satisfied. Next time I would focus more on the apples instead of the car.

Crazy Combos

on this project we had to make a non-existant animal out of real animal parts. I tried to keep all the animal parts as a orange-brown kind of color. The connections of the parts was hard to do but i used the smudge and blur tools and then the dodge and burn tools to make it look more realistic. I am satisfied with the work but next time i would try a completely new color pallet.

history project 2

On this project we used the History brush tool in the same as the first history project before, but this time i left most of the picture desaturated. I wanted to make the top of the cake very bright so that it would contrast from the rest of the photo. I thought that the best place to originate the re-coloring was at the most important part of the cake, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY." I am satisfied with the work because the top really stands out from the rest of the picture and thats what i meant to happen. Next time i would try a tool within history brush so that the top of the cake would e colored but also darker.

History Brush Project

On this project, we had to desaturate our picture, make it black and white, and then add back color to certain parts of the picture, using a tool called History Brush. I tried to make the flames in my picture stand out more from the rest of the photo. The flames inspired me to contrast the ball with the flames, so i used some of the specific tools under history brush. I am satisfied with my work because it contrasts well. Next time i would change the background color to further exemplify the difference.

Music project

On this assignment we had to take an already made project and make it our own. On this project i focused more on the music notes and the people. Overlapping them was my first focus. I was hoping to make it look like it had a natural flow. I am satisfied with my work. I think it really shows the contrast between the rainbow layer and the dirtier colors of the graffiti. Next time i would darken the color of the band members and the music notes so that they stand out more from the graffiti.
