book covers


For a book I have read I chose someone like you by Sarah Dessen, it's one of my favorite books, I enjoy all of Sarah Desssen's books that I have read so far. The second book cover I made was for Lock and Key that I have not read by Sarah Dessen yet. I decided to make the covers simple, but still nice to look at, since I haven't read Lock and Key yet it was a little harder to decide what to put on the cover so I just put a jeweled lock and key hanging from it. For someone like you I found a cute picture of a couple holding hands because the book is about a teenage girl being in love with her boyfriend and losing him in a motorcycle accident.

Dr. Seuss how the grinch stole christmas

For this project I decided to do one of my favorite Dr. Seuss stories, how the grinch stole christmas and it fits because it's almost christmas. Instead of making a page from the book i chose to do a new cover for the book. I wanted to make it creative and fun like all of Dr. seuss's books, i think it turned out well.

LIFE




My favorite LIFE magazine cover is the cover with Jackie Robinson on the front of it. Jackie Robinson was a hero, and someone that changed a lot of people's lives, people looked up to him. I like the way the picture is in all black with gray and white. He stands out from the background.

Homecoming Ad

For my second ad I created an ad for this year's homecoming dance on October 22. I wanted to make the ad stand out from others and encourage people to go to the dance so I thought of using blue and gold disco balls since western's school colors are blue and gold. I put images in black of people dancing and having a good time on the disco balls. This ad has a theme of blue and gold for western. I really like the way it turned out, I think it's one of my best projects I've created.

my kaleidoscope

For this project I had to create a kaleidoscope. I took a portion of a picture and put the same part of it together several times to create a square kaleidoscope. I made the image bright and put two white strips through the images. I loved the design and this was a really fun project.

avatar

For this project I had to create an avatar of myself. I started off by making myself look like a cartoon then wanted to give myself the look of an avatar so I added layers made my skin glow blue and green. I wanted my personality to still be in my avatar so I decided for my avatar not to be an alter ego of myself. I really like the way it turned out I think my last project was one of my best and favorites.

Color wheel stencil peace sign

For my second color wheel stencil I used the peace sign and filled in the peace signs with pictures of me. I used different pictures for each one and edited each to make them different. I wanted to make this project more interesting so I used for peace symbols not just one. I wanted to create a project that meant a lot to me and this one really does. I think it turned out nicely.

color wheel stencil Browning Symbol


For this project I used my favorite symbol the browning symbol. I started out with just a plain white symbol and copied it four times to have five four smaller symbols. It took me a while to get the pink and blue swirl background to fill in the symbol but once I got it the other four were easier. I put different layers and changed up the colors on all five of the browning symbols. This is my favorite project I have done in this class and think it turned out very well.

inside and outside anatomy

For this project I used a picture of myself and a pretty blue swirl for the inside it reminded me of summer and the beach. I tried to do something similar to the picture you showed us.

my comic strip

I had to create a comic strip with four or more scenes and I chose to do mine about prom. This project was the hardest one I have ever had to do, it took a lot more time and thought. I had to make all of my pictures look like comic strip pictures which was hard and my pictures didn't always turn out the way I wanted them to. But when I finally finished I liked the way it looked there's a picture of my parents and I then one of a corsauge being put on then a picture with me and my date and the last one is us eating dinner at his house with towels over our clothes. I liked this project it was just more challenging.

Genoa Chair

For this project I had to take a picture of a genoa chair and cover it with images from an artist. I chose Vincent Van Goah and two of his paintings the starry night and starry night over the rhone. I cut the images into pieces to fit onto the chair and did one strip from the starry night and then the next from the starry night over the rhone. I created a whole new chair with these two paintings. I think the chair turned out nicely.

midterm project

For my midterm project I made a grid seven by five and filled it in with pictures of me, the beach and blue backgrounds with beach written into them. I edited each picture a different way and put different layers and effects into them. I wanted each picture to be unique and stand out. I placed a blue border around the images because blue blends into my beach scene well. I put a lot of effort and time into this project and really liked the way it turned out.

Nine square project

After doing my four square project I knew exactly what to do for this project, it was the same basis just bigger. I used two images of myself and rotated them around, used a lot of different layers, tools and tried to make each image stand out. For the border I wanted a bright color, one that would stand out between the images so I chose a bright lime green. I placed some of my images upside down, rotated them around and make each different. My nine square project has been my favorite so far and I think it turned out well.

four by four project

For my four by four project I used a picture I took of myself and duplicated it so I had four pictures of the same image and used different filters for each. I wanted each image to be a lot different from each other so I rotated them around, changed the background colors, color schemes and edited them to look different.  I added a border around the four images to add more space between each image and to let them stand out more. I was really happy by the way my four by four project turned out. I got to put myself in it which made I liked.

more visual puns

My third visual pun that I created was a butterfly. For the body of the butterfly I used a stick of butter since it's a butter-fly. Then I placed four wings on the stick of butter and antenas. I placed my butterfly on a orange polka dotted background so my butterfly blended in nicely. This was my favorite visual pun out of the four I created. I really like the way it turned out and enjoyed creating my version of a butterfly.


My visual pun of a dragonfly has the body of a dragon and wings of a fly. A dragonfly reminds me of both a dragon flying and a dragonfly so I created something with the mix of the two. My dragonfly is flying through a bright orange sunset with wings. I think my dragonfly visual pun turned out well.

visual puns

For my Flower bulb visual pun I took a picture of a garden flower and a flower bulb to create an image that looked as if the flower bulb was sprouting out of the flower. I implanted the bulb inside the flower after i had erased the stigma and all of the other parts of the flower. I brightened up the image and tried to make the bulb blend into the flower. This project gave me a chance to be really creative and form and image that comes to my mind when I think of a flower bulb.

My second visual pun I created was of a bookworm. When I thought of a bookworm I thought of a worm inside of a book. I created a image of a book with a worm blended into the background of it. The first thing I did was find an image of a book and then layered a worm onto the pages of it. Behind the worm in the background of the book I placed a poem about a worm. My bookworm visual pun can be seem in different ways. I created a book about worms and also a book with a worm inside of it. I liked the way this project turned out.

me

For this project i took the outline of my body cut it out from a picture and put it on a beach background because I love the beach. I filled my silhouette in with tie dye to make it colorful and stand out. Around my silhouette and the beach scene I arranged different words and favorite sayings that describe me. I thought this project was creative and gave me a chance to do something that represents me and I liked putting text into my project it made my project have more things going on than just my silhouette and background.

Crazy Combos

For my crazy combos project I combined many different animal parts. I started out with just two horses and gave them different animal parts like wings, antlers a zebra's body and an giraffe's head. I wanted my project to stand out so I tried to be as creative with it as I could be. This has been my favorite project so far I loved creating different unique animals. I'm really happy with the way my project turned out.

For this project i took fifteen green objects and changed them around to create an image with all of them. I changed the size, color and arrangement of the different objects on the page. I tried to make all of the completely different things fit nicely into one project. I like the way my 15 green things turned out.

Music project





This is my first project that I had ever done in digital imaging. It was a fun project that I enjoyed doing even though I had never used photo shop before so it took a lot of extra time for me to get used to all of the tools and things. I'm really proud of my music project and like the way it turned out.
