Kaleidoscope


In this project, we created a kaleidoscope-like image by duplicating one part of a picture and reflecting it across the screen. I took a picture  of spirit week decorations with many colors, in order to create an exciting image.

Four Square

My silhouette


This is yet another project which made use of wordle, and I think the words in the background illustrate the photo perfectly. The photo is very simple, so I chose to only type a few simple words.

Wordle


The website "Wordle " allows you to type in a group of words, hit create, and gives you a fascintaing combination of word formations, colors, and fonts. This tool can be very useful in photoshop, and I have already used in in some previous projects. I think I will continue to do so in the future. Not to mention, its very entertaining. I entered a book report I finished recently for my english class, and I think the photo of words that popped up represents the book perfectly.  

Lunch Break


In this project, we had to find a picture of a person or people, and delete them, leaving only a silhouette. Behind this silhouette, we placed a group of words describing that picture. I chose a picture of men eating their lunch on a beam, during the construction of a skyscraper. This picture has always inspired me, so I chose to try to put it into words. The effect was very interesting, though I don't think I did it justice.

15 Green Things


Our project was to create a single scene using 15 different pictures of green objects. I did my best to put most of these objects together in a way that makes it difficult to tell them apart. We were allowed to change the color of some of the objects in the scene, and I made the trees in the background purple. Before, they just faded into the background, so I chose to make them stand out.

Crazy Combo

The object of this project was to take parts from many things, and combine them to create one. I chose to combine the oddest collection of animal parts, real and fake, that I could think of. These range from a human foot to a dinosaur head. I think the effect is rather creepy.
