Inside/Out

• Unfortunately although I spent a long time on this project my final work was deleted when the program crashed when I tried to save.
• The image I found of a bird (specifically an owl) inspired me to make a sort of futuristic/steam punk photo.
• I wanted to make the photo as realistic with an artistic approach as possible.
• I was very satisfied with the finished product but unfortunately it is gone.

Photoshopuser.com Tutorials part 2 & 3

http://members.photoshopuser.com/article/wash-border-effect/

• We were supposed to follow photoshopuser.com tutorials and give our own version of the tutorial image.
• I tried to do two tutorials in this post but one of them (wash border) crashed as I was finished and I was unable to recover the image.
• I followed the tutorials and tried to use a different image that followed the same style as the sample image.
• I am satisfied with the flower tutorial and there is nothing I feel the need to add at this time.

Find the egg

• We were supposed to make a sort of wheres Waldo image, where you find and object in an image.
• I tried to think of two things that would hide each other well and then put them into an image.
• The image we viewed in class of the coffee beans inspired me.
• It was fun but I wish I could have some how made the egg blend better. I also wished I had found a different image and item to use.
• Nothing I want to really add to this picture at this time.

Chair Project

• We had to take a chair and work done by one artist and combine them in a way so that the overall image is satisfying and then add shadow.
• I took two artists that I both liked and knew were renown. I then applied my favorite art done by the artists to the chair in a way that makes sense. Once the art was warped on correctly I both burned and added a shadow to the images in order to make them look 3d.
• The art done by both Da Vinci and Warhol inspired me.
• I'm satisfied with the ending product.
• There is nothing more I feel the need to add at this time.

Photoshopuser 1

• http://www.photoshopuser.com/members/tutorials/photography/creative-black-whites.html
• We were supposed to follow a tutorial found on photoshopuser.com
• I tried to follow the tutorial as best as I could using his portrait of Jack Nicholson
• I'm not extremely happy with the finished product only because I could not get colored pencil to work out as well as I wanted it to. This threw off the rest of the tutorial.

Mid Term

• We had to make a semi-abstract composition using new and old images and combining as many different tools as possible.
• I tried to make a center focus of images I made or old images while desauturating them to show that they are old. I then used modern abstract art images to establish a frame of color.
• I made this art in order to explain my inspiration as alot of my work including this one is inspired by modern graphic abstract art or 3d abstract art.
• I'm pleased with the finished product and their is nothing I feel I need to add or should have added at this time.

Thanksgiving Card

• We were to make a greeting card.
• I was inspired by an autumn depiction which encouraged me to add thanksgiving images and then I used them together and blended.
• I really like the ending piece and there is nothing I feel the need to add at this time.
