Cumulative Project

In a world that is rapidly becoming more and more visual, graphic design plays an important role in all aspects of media. Therefore, there are many job opportunities with training in photoshop. This business card provides my name and information, highlighting some of my favorite work from the year. I used the theme of unity throughout this business card through the colors I chose. The colors of the text and border were taken directly from the pieces of art that I showcased. The color of the background emphasizes this by contrasting these bright colors with a simple black and white gradient in the background.

Thanks for a great year Ms. Burnett!

Avatar


This project involved creating avatars of ourselves through photoshop. In the first piece, I chose to make myself an avatar that resembled those from the movie, Avatar. I tinted my skin and hair blue, broadened my nose, enlarged my eyes, and shaded them bright yellow. I even chose to make it seem as if my shirt had been torn. Finally, I inserted a background from the planet Pandora, the home of the Navi. For the next project, I chose to emphasize the traits that people often tell me I have. I have been told I have a small mouth, yellow eyes, dark eyebrows, and a prominent chin. Therefore, I tinted my eyes yellow, used the Burn tool to darken my eyebrows, used Liquify to shrink my mouth, and painted a small line to emphasize my chin.
