BW to Color

 Original Selfie:


Monochromatic:


Triad:


Analogous:


This project assignment was exciting and different. This is not what I expected to do in Photoshop, but it was really cool. It took me a while to understand how to complete this assignment because there were many videos and different steps. It took me a lot of patience and concentration, but after I was done with the first colored one, the other two were not that bad at all. I think I did a good job, and I am happy with my results. I chose my colors from the analogous, triad, and monochromatic. I did not even know these things existed, but I am happy that now I know! I am excited to see my classmate's projects and see what everyone chose to do. My favorite is the monochromatic one because the colors really compliment each other, and it looks the most natural. The other ones are a little bit too intense for me, but still, look really nice.

    Alexia -- I like what you did in this project because you played around with the backgrounds of each project and used very unique and bright colors that popped.

    I am not sure if you meant to follow this route, but the combination of color selections and the shapes they create gives a cartoon-ish style to the photos, and I really like it. The second and third images with the blue and purple give me a space fantasy vibe like something out of a movie or comic book. I think you did a good job with this exercise.

Calligram

Image
 Final Project: Artist Statement: I decided to create a Calligram using my favorite letter, "A." The words inside the "A" consist of a letter I wrote to my future self 20 years from now. At first, I thought I would use a palm tree for this project, but then I decided that I would suffice with this letter because it is very special to me. My name starts with an "A," and I like how it is the alphabet's first letter. I also like the idea of this letter because since I am writing this letter to myself, and I am "A," it will be cute when in 20 years, I read this and see it inside an A because it will be my past self who wrote it and my future self reading it, but the same person. I decided to add something special and make every word that starts with an "a" be a different color, so they stand out, and whenever I wrote my name, I made them pink, so that stands out even more. To create this, I used the compound path tool to be able to writ...

Three Photoshop Videos

First video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAmSB5MQxOo This video showed me that to create a new document, you have to press command N. If you double-click the background, you can make it into a new one where you can edit it. You can make different groups of layers, which is pretty cool. You can click and drag an image into the screen and scale it how you want. If you hold control, you can change the angles of the picture. You can change the hues, which changes the colors, and there are many options. It is easy to add blur or pixels to the image you are working on. Vibrance and saturation are very different. If you do not want to make people seem orange, you can change the vibrance but not the saturation. If you save as a PSD, all the layers and edits save altogether.  Second video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpHiWOBQ4dM Adjustment layers can be changed at any time, and it is easy to edit them and add and delete things. You can use hue saturation to color the wat...

Business Card Sketches

Image
  These up here are my three sketches for possible business cards. It took me a little bit because I wanted to think of cool designs and not be boring. I like them because they are all different types of styles. The top one is more formal because it has less design, and it gets straight to the point. The second one has some lines and circles to add some design. Finally, the last one has some flowers which I think makes it look charming. Even though flowers can be a little overwhelming for professional things, I believe a couple of them or tiny ones would look fine. I am excited to see how they turn out in the application!  Updated card:
