long term project.

This is my long term project.
Strings of Lights

 For this project, I had no idea what to do. I started off just playing around with some images and using different blending modes to blend them together. I liked how they looked, so I added more images and one gradient. The final image I added was a lion face, because I needed a main focal point, so I thought that the lion face would fit for that. The meaning of this piece is put your self together and find who you are. I decided to call it Strings of Lights because when you grow and learn, you find good things and bad things, and you should try to string all the good things together and build yourself upon them and take the bad things and learn from them. This relates to the image because this piece is made up of a jungle – of life – with rain – the bad things – and a gradient – good things – with the lion in the front to represent strength and bravery. 

t-shirt design

This is my t-shirt design.

City of Colour and Sound

I scanned in an image of buildings that I drew. I added an image of a cloud and put some filters into it to make it more blended looking. I also used a paintbrush that I made before this project and that gave some colour to the background. I used that same brush to clean up the bottom of the buildings. I made another paintbrush made of an image of music notes and gave it a really light opacity and added it to the image.

t-shirts.

A Paper Panda

I like this one because it's so simple and I like the paper in it. I like it alot. The colours are very plain too, and I like that.

Deliquesce

I like this one because of the colours. I like how it looks similar to the earth. I like the paint splatters at the bottom. I really like this one, too.

Rainforests

I like this one because it reminds me of something that I would be able to do in Photoshop. I like how it's a lot like our juxtaposition project, with two totally unrelated images put together to make one word. I like it alot, and I love the colours.

I found this t-shirt design on google images. I like it because it's simple and looks illusional.

I also found this t-shirt on google images. I like the colours and the image is interesting.

Hebertaffe.
This Hebertaffe is a creature who lives in the driveways of houses found in North America. This creature is completely harmless, all it does is slide around on driveways. It likes to use its long neck to grab leaves off of dead plants to eat. The Hebertaffe is extremely uncommon and rare.

ball.

April 8, 2011

For this ball I used 6 colour swatches. I used the darkest with a hard, large brush to create the base. I used smaller and softer brushes to create the layers that make it three-dimensional. To make the shadow I used the darker colours of my swatches to blend in the colours. For the highlight I used the lighter colours of my swatches to make a very subtle highlight. To finish it off I used a paintbrush in white with a very light opacity and I went over the ball to finish off and brighten the ball.
