4 Square


  • We took a picture of something in or around the school and then we duplicated it into four images that we were required to design/render.
  • I first arranged the images in a way that made it appealing rather then just the four images being the same angle or face. I then darkened each one slightly more then the other so I had a varying degree of burn. I stylized the images then added a shadow to make i look darker.
  • I liked this project, I saw how people were making each image a different color but I wanted to do something different and keep the images original color. I think all the power in this image comes from the use of shadow.
  • There is nothing more I feel the need to add this was a fun way to use the shadowing tools to really make an image pop.

Negative Zone



  • We were to take an image of a person and photo shop something behind him so when we remove him it would make a negative image.
  • I used wordle as much as possible as I find it to be a very useful tool, other then that I just fooled around with the given images.
  • The original images and backgrounds inspired me.
  • I liked this project and I think it came out pretty nice.

15 Green Things

  • We had to take 15 green images and use them together to make our own image.
  • I tried to use all the images in a meaningful way to make them blend and I used certain artistic effects to make that happen.
  • I used the images in a way inspired by each image and their own unique properties.
  • I am very satisfied with this image considering the images i had to use.
  • There is nothing else I feel like adding.

Name Game

- I used the letter T to create a pattern (by copying, pasting, and flipping) on a red background. I then used the gradient tool to add shadow. After that I copied and blended the layer followed b posting the man into the pic.
-I used the letter T for most of the pic, the man is supposed to represent the T pattern.
-My name inspired me.
- I'm satisfied with it but I think there may be too much shadow. I like it though, maybe next time I won't use so much shadow.

Crazy Combo Assignment
-We were supposed to take images (normally of animals) and use them to create one creature.
-After finding a pretty cool background I used only images that came up in the google image search for music. With these images I created the creature above.
-The images I found in the search inspired me to create the creature. To start off I had no idea what it would look like.
-I'm satisfied with the work at this time, I like the artistic filter I think it fits the image well. Maybe next time I will do a different search.

Color Replacement



We were supposed to take images and restore color to only certain aspects.
I choose the main focuses of the images for the planets and person pictures. For the crowd picture I created a pattern using the color replacement tool.
Single colors or important aspects inspired me.
I am satisfied with the work and it was good practice with the color replacement tool.
There is nothing I would like to add at this time.

Music Project

I used a psd picture then edited it to create this one.
After following the assigned instructions I used textures, copy and paste, burning, and tricks with the brush tool to create the customized final picture.
The background inspired me to do something 1969-1970s flower power related.
Im satisfied with the finished project due to the assignment giving me leeway for artistic style.
