Description: This image was created in Adobe Illustrator and is made up of different shapes, textures, and colors. I used different colors to create depth in the image. The colors all contrast each other enough to stand out and communicate that they represent different objects.

Composition: There is no negative space in this image, but the different colors help to create the foreground, middle ground, and background. I created depth by using gradients and blur effects as well as reflection techniques.

Analysis: This artwork is unique because it was completely made in Adobe Illustrator and I made it based on a real image while still adding my own touch to the image. I used the colors to visually separate different objects in the image, such as the mountains, lake, beach, and rocks. This makes the sense of depth in the image a lot more realistic.

Interpretation: The style is evident in this image, being that it is entirely illustrated. My motivation for creating this work was to make a nice image based off a real landscape, while still adding my own creative touch to the image.

Judgment: I learned how to create different blue, gradient, and reflection effects in Illustrator using the basics of line, shape, and color. I think that this piece looks like it does in real life, it demonstrates unity, and it feels like I was successful when making this piece because it is representative of the original image, even though I drew it all.

For this piece I used Adobe Illustrator to create a drawing I made that was about me. The main element was shape because I had to create the different shapes that I drew. If I were to do anything different I would maybe scale things a little bit differently to better match the original drawing.

In this piece I used Adobe Illustrator to create a simplified version of a nature scene. The main element to this piece was shape because we had to simplify the shapes. If I were to do anything different I would maybe choose a smaller color palette to help make everything more united.

I used Adobe Illustrator to create a hammer and screwdriver logo type of thing. The main element of this piece was shape because I had to simplify a hammer and screwdriver. If I were to do anything different I would maybe adjust the shape of the hammer a little to make it more hammer looking.

Description: The objects in this piece is the stone from Moana, Maui's Hook, a manta ray, and a volcano. All of the objects are outlined in black to help give them a more defined shape. There are some geometric shapes but most are organic and they are all roughly the same-sized objects. The colors are black, green, brown, and a greyish color. This all relates because it keeps a small color palette and everything is more connected. I feel like the most relevant element is the colors because it keeps everything on the same color scheme and so it all looks more in sync with itself.

Composition: The space has been divided with 4 big objects and then a wave-like line dividing them from the text. I used the waves as leading lines to move viewers from left to right so that they see the objects in that order since that is the order that the movie goes in. I was also not really trying to create a lot of depth but in the objects I overlapped the lava and grass for the volcano to show that those were on top of it. Also for the hook I overlapped the brown on the handle to show that it was on top of the hook part.

Analysis: I used Adobe Illustrator and changed the shape of the shapes in the app to help create the shapes of the object but also keep it simple because I was trying to simplify the objects themselves as well. The colors I used were brown, black, grey, and green to help keep a simplistic color scheme. The artwork seems flat due to the objects just being simplified shapes of them. But I learned that you are able to really adjust shapes and cut things out of shapes to make other types of shapes which is really helpful and if you keep things simple that also really helps quicken the process while also keeping things looking nice. I also experimented with the different features in Illustrator and tried the different features that you can use when working with shapes.

Interpretation: The purpose of creating this work was to summarize the movie Moana in 4 objects while keeping it simple. I was hoping to communicate this by putting in objects that are unique to the movie and also putting the title on the artwork. My inspiration was other pieces of art that I looked at from past years and I like the movie Moana so I wanted to use it for the piece. This work of art allowed me to see how objects can be simplified.

Judgment: I learned that there are ways to simplify many things like movies and objects. I used feedback from my teacher to help with the color and make it all mesh better together. My work doesn't really look life like but it also wasn't supposed to. I do feel that unity was achieved through the layout and composition of my work and also effectively communicated my message to the viewer because the objects show the key parts of Moana and outline the movie well. Overall I felt my work was successful because it was descriptive but simply and also uniform. If I were to redo anything I would maybe choose a different font even though it works well but I would possibly choose a more Hawaiian font to help fit the theme a little more.

For this piece I used Adobe Illustrator to create a cool pattern doodle image. The main element of this piece was shape because I created a lot of different lines and circles. If I were to do anything different I would add a little more shapes to it to fill some more negative space.

Description: The objects in this piece are the pyramid, the sculpture, and the person. I used lines to outline the main objects to help better see them and make them more distinct. I used geometric shapes for the pyramid but more organic shapes for the sculpture in the front to help create a more stone-like appearance. I used a paper texture to make it a more vintage feeling. The colors were mainly complementary with the red and the green but it was also semi-split complimentary because I had blue in there too for the sky. I used different values in this piece to help create distance and also show some shadow in the piece which causes value to be a big element in my piece.

Composition: I created a foreground by having the sculpture be in front and big and large. I created the middle ground with the pyramid and a background with the sky. I created depth in the piece with a gradation as things got further away. For example, with the path and the sky. I also created depth with the sculpture overlapping the pyramid to show that the pyramid was behind. I also used the path to lead the viewer towards the pyramid and text so that they would see the big attraction and the name.

Analysis: I used both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop for this piece. I used Illustrator for creating the shapes and the main part of the picture. I used Photoshop for the typography and for the texture added to the picture. I feel that this picture also creates convincing depth and does not appear flat. I learned that you can use both Illustrator and Photoshop to create a neat textured picture that uses elements from both softwares.

Interpretation: The purpose of creating this work was to create a vintage travel poster that would make someone want to go to this location. I was hoping to communicate that Chichen Itza is a cool location to see and is worth going to. My motivation for this piece is that I have been there and I wanted to recreate a place I was familiar with. This piece has helped me see a little bit of what people do when they create travel posters and so when I see some, I'll know a little bit of how it was made.

Judgment: I learned that everything makes an impact in a piece and even typography is important. I used help from my teacher to help create a more vintage-looking piece and help create something from an image that someone took in person and convert it into something that looks vintage and inviting. The image also imitates real life in a way because it shows the scale of things. Also, the piece has good unity because it uses the different tones of red for the ruins to help them be more related and uses the other colors for the background to help emphasize the main features of Chichen Itza. Overall I feel like my piece was a success and has both a vintage feel along with an appeal to make people want to go there. If I were to change anything I would maybe try to add a little more detail to the statue in the front to show that it is really close compared to the pyramid.

In this piece I used Adobe Photoshop to create a graffiti looking piece. The main element of this was value because I had to adjust the darkness of Henry Ford to make him better fit on the wall. If I were to change anything it would probably be the picture I used of him so that I could make it easier to blend onto the wall.

In this piece I used Adobe Illustrator to create a book cover. The main element of this piece is the objects because I had to blend them together into one piece. If I were to change anything I would probably darken the guy a little more to help him better fit in.

I used Adobe Photoshop to create a monogram of the letter E. The main element is the shapes because I had to create the letter E while helping things flow. If I were to change anything I would make more adjustments to the clothing of the guy to make him better fit with the E.

I used Adobe Photoshop to create a picture made of words. The main element is the typography because I had to use text that related to the piece. If I were to change anything I would probably try to think of better text for the saying around him.

I used both Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create a doodle. The main element is the composite of it because I had to doodle his clothing. If I were to do anything different I would better incorporate the kid into the scene.

Description: The objects in my work are me, the surgeon, bed, and dresser. The objects are not outlined and the shapes are organic because they are just real life objects. The piece also has an overall dark value and it keeps the scene more night-like. There are also darker areas that are shadows that I added into the piece. I think the element that is most relevant to the piece is the darkness/value because I feel like it creates a good mood for the scene and helps it relate to the poem.

Composition: A lot of the space is taken up by the objects but even in the spots where there isn't objects, there is something like on the ground there is sand which I feel makes it interesting. I feel like the dresser kind of creates a foreground do to it being right in front and helps create the middle ground be me, the surgeon, and the bed. That makes the window and wall the background. I created the illusion of depth with shadows and the objects overlapping like how the bed covers the bottom of the surgeon which makes him look like he is on the other side of it.

Analysis: I used Adobe Photoshop to create a composite and I took many different objects and combined them into one life-like photo. I feel like it has depth as well because of how it looks like a normal room and the shadows show how light is working in the piece and the different levels of the objects. I learned that you are able to combine many photos to help create something that seems like the objects are actually meant to be there and it looks realistic. I experimented with the different fx, adjustment layers, and masks while creating this work.

Interpretation: The story for this piece was to turn a poem into a scene and I was hoping to communicate the ideas of the writer into a picture. My inspiration was other types of composites and the objects that were in the composite were inspired from the poem that the composite is about. This work fits in the composite genre.

Judgment: I learned how to better use adjustment layers to help make objects match their setting. I used feedback from my teacher to help fit in the text of the poem into the piece. I feel like the work does look life-like which it should. I also feel like it effectively communicates my message to the viewers because it hits all the important parts of the poem it is about. Overall I feel like my work was successful because I thought I did a good job of making everything fit together really well. If I were to change anything I would probably change the window part and make the outside be more like a night sky or something so that it looks cleaner through the window.

I used Adobe Photoshop to add the monkey into the forest. The main element is the composite because I had to fit the monkey into the scene. If I were to do anything different I would adjust the color of the monkey a little bit more to help him fit in even more even though it does already.

"black swan" is another piece revolving around a poem. This poem, however, does not use synesthesia, but is formatted as a Sijo poem. A Sijo is a traditional Korean poem broken up into three lines. Each line is broken up into syllables to establish a theme. The first line is broken up into 3, 4, 4, and 4 syllables, respectively. The second line is broken up into 3, 4, 4, and 4 syllables, respectively. The third and final line is broken up into 3, 5, 4, and 3 syllables, respectively.

Description: The "black swan" piece is comprised of four main components. The picture is broken up into two vertical halves, similar to the "untitled" piece. The right half of the piece contains a doodled outline of myself whereas the left half of the piece holds the poem displayed on an scroll. The third part of the piece is the background, a fall forest landscape. This plays into the description inscribed in the "black swan" poem. The fourth and final component of "black swan" is the overlaying rectangle over myself and the scroll to emphasize those elements and guide the viewer's eye.

Composition: Similar to the "untitled" piece, the negative space is a forest landscape to set the scene for the viewer. Furthermore, all the shapes present are organic and free-flowing to emphasize the beauty of nature that this piece is trying to convey. Symmetry was also used to create a sense of full-ness with this piece.

Analysis: Firstly, bright, lively colors were used to emphasize the last line of the "black swan" poem. In order to create the doodle of myself, I was required to use Illustrator to outline my features and clothing. I then put a filter over the doodle so that it furthermore blended into the forest landscape.

Interpretation: The purpose of this piece, similar to "untitled," was to visualize a poem. The title "black swan" is an allusion to the 2010 film of the same name. This was done so that the viewer would already feel a sort-of discomfort before even viewing the piece. The content of the poem relates to feelings of guilt for ruining the beauty of Autumn.

Judgement: Through creating this piece, I was forced to overcome problems caused by moving between Photoshop and Illustrator. After completing this piece, I feel much more comfortable moving between Photoshop and Illustrator. Comparing to my original idea, I am happy with the outcome of this piece because I feel a sense of unity from the piece.

I used this guy to work on because he represents a normal guy in society. The background is supposed to be a peaceful open area. The art that represents his clothing is a variety of different geometric shapes that are big and small. The main hues in my art work are blue and grey, the blue represents the sky and the grey represents the clouds, those colors are also on his cloths which match the hues. I think I used my space wisely and the man isn't supposed to take up the whole image. A unique thing about this piece is that I used different shapes to represent the clothing. The meaning of this piece is to represent a normal guy in society thinking of what we could do differently as a society. I think people can look at this and read the poem that goes with it and they could think of themselves and think of new way to improve themselves and the things around them. The background is supposed to look real but the clothing isn't and thats the point. I think my work effectively communicates with the viewer because the poem explains the piece. I think this image was successful because I feel like I did a good job on it and I put my time into it and tried to make it the best I could.

This piece is a monogram and the M represents the first letter of my name. The edges of my artwork are noticeable and they are supposed to resemble ice and since I have a mountain as my background I thought it made sense. The main hue of this piece is blue because blue represents the color of the sky. I uses the white conceals technique for this piece and I think it did a good job on making the edges look like ice. Something that is unique about this piece is that I tried to make the edges look like ice to fit the mountain theme and doing this made it look like the m was freezing and I thought that was a clever design. The meaning of this piece is to symbolize who I am and what my interests are. I like the cold, I love to snowmobile in the winter and this piece represents that. Something I could've done different with this piece is to hide part of the mountain to its just the m, other than that I think I did a good job with this and i'm happy about it.

This image was inspired by my freshman cross country coach who told me to never give up, keep moving forward and to keep pushing when I was running in cross country. This piece represents the cliche to never give up no matter how hard it is for you to keep moving forward. I used a man running up a flight of stairs to represent this because I thought it was a fitting image for this story behind this piece. I thought I did a good job filling in the space with the words at the bottom and on the man himself because it doesn't take up too much space and it isn't empty. Something unique about this piece is that the words from the bottom are wrapped around the man running. The purpose of this piece is to tell the viewer to never give up no matter how hard it gets because if you do give up you will fail. Something I could've done differently is that I could've make the words on the man more neat.

This piece is supposed to represent a normal person in the world. The normal person is typically unnoticed and doesn't stand out and thats why this woman is in black and white. The black and white means that she is invisible to everybody else and thats why the rest of the image is in color.

I choose to do George Washington because he is a very influential figure in the United States. The quote I choose means that you shouldn't make excuses for your mistakes and that you should learn from them and take responsibility.

This piece represents traveling space and we don't know what's out there.

this projects main subject is the torn up couch in the center of the piece. this project uses a lot of different lines which you can see through out the project in the bridge the lines used to outline the couch and even the rain drops. this project was made up of organic shapes you can see these shapes were used to block out the colors in the couch to create a doodle effect. one texture seen throughout the piece is the concrete/dried dirt. this is seen on the bridge and under it its also used as a background for the poem itself. them main colors in this piece are browns and grays. they are related because they are both neutral colors.

composition

the space is mostly divided into two parts. with the poem on the left of the page and the art on the right of the page. the foreground of this piece is the couch, the middle ground is made up of the bridge and the surrounding dirt. and the background is made up of the forest behind the bridge. the fore ground and middle ground is being divided by the bridge. i used depth to put rain drops in the back of the art piece which were not in the original photo.

description

this projects main subject is the zombies walking through the field. this project uses a lot of different lines which you can see through out the project in the grass in the foreground and the fields in the background. this project was made up of organic shapes because no geometrics were added to this piece. one texture seen throughout the piece is the grassy texture. this texture takes up most of the piece. them main colors in this piece are blacks and grays. there is some red splashed around to add pops of color.

composition

the space is mostly divided into two parts. with the foreground on the bottom half of the page and the background taking up the top half. the foreground of this the three zombies walking through the field, the middle ground is made up of the farm field's and the burning building. and the background is made up of the jungle surrounding the field and the mountain in the back. the fore ground and middle ground is being divided by the drop off of the hill in the foreground. i used depth to fire in the middle ground of the art piece which was not in the original photo.

this projects main subject is the fisherman inside the letter. this project uses a lot of different lines which you can see through out the project in lines making up the letter and in the fishing pole .this project has geometric and organic shapes in it. one texture seen throughout the piece is the orange gradient in the background and the sky inside the letter . this texture takes up most of the piece. them main colors in this piece are blacks oranges.

composition

the space is mostly divided into two parts. the letter and fisher man are one part and the background gradient takes up the rest. the foreground of this piece is the letter/fisherman in the middle. and the background is the orange gradient. i used a shadow under the letter to add some depth to the piece.

Description:The subject is the man starring at the mountains, this shoes that Montana is a relaxing place with beautiful mountains. The mountains are outlines with the color contrast with the snow. This shows the declines and inclines going up the mountains. Also adding on a texture to the mountains showed their bumpy slopes. The most valued element is shape because it shoes the different pieces of the mountains.Composition There is negative space in the front but I wanted to show when the man was standing. The space coming up the mountain shows more sky so there was a better look at where the peak was. I used a gradient on the clouds to make it look realistic with the sun which was made by a gradient swell with the sky. Analysis The colors on the mountain show the snow and the blue represents the sky, looking at the clouds I wanted some contrast to show the sun. The ground I went for more of a brow so it didn't match with the mountain. Interpretation This can be seen as man in his relaxing state and him looking out onto the beautiful mountains of Montana where the sun is out but yet the snow is clear for great skiing, this should be taken as a relaxing place. Judgment Yes this does look almost like real life, the outlines of the person make it look more real, although it could be argued the other way. This communicates calmness very nicely. Lastly this was a huge success where I could see it up somewhere on a wall in a cabin or lobby for ski resorts.

Description: This is many different shapes at different angles that defines me as a person, this can be seen as my personal poster that represents me The colors and texture of them all played a role in making me in this poster. Composition yet there wasn't any specific requirement I tries to make the rectangles for example align nicely with each other, but also with the circles not so much because I am a messy person. Analysis Using the pen tool mostly and sometimes the the shape builder I contracted the shaped to look like they were, I chose a theme of red and yellow with colors that went together. Sometimes I used the warp application. Interpretation yet again this shows me as a person, messy but not too messy and likes things to go together nicely, I won't go through each shape that describes me but each one is done in a certain way to show who I am. Judgment using formalism I constructed the shapes to be a certain length apart from each other, this shows emotion to anyone who knows how this is constructed because they can see what the different shapes mean to me as a person and how ti creates me. This was a huge success for me because it was my first project and it was not easy getting the hang of everything and how it is use

Description: The chaos I used for the C and this standee for Clark or can be seen as a Colorado. The textures added I used to represent Colorado and their colors. The values of these colors compliment each other while also showing a contrast splitting the image. Analysis I used a lot of gradients and layer masking when using this I found a background that would look appealing shaping through the letters The colors I liked when I split the background so it looked better with the shadow in the middle.Composition The C I put tight in the middle and it seemed very plain so I used my brush and eraser tool to show more of the sun which ended up being more like a Colorado poster. Interpretation, For me this was the Clark and how I saw it but for most they will think of Colorado for when they see this project, this should be seen as peaceful but yet exciting if traveling there. People will see a great sight and when they think of Colorado hopefully they think of this. Judgment Formality was huge in this, aligning my layers correctly so that they C would be show while also showing the sun was hard. Showing emotion this can be seen with the sun and how it affects the image, this once again like many pieces of mine shows a lot of peace. This was a very accomplished project because it turned out nicely representing clark while also showing Colorado and beautiful scenes.

Description

In the middle, the main topic of interest, the Berlin Dome, is outlined by the other objects using contrasting colors. Since this is a vector sketch, the composition is made up of sharp and rounded lines, making circles and rectangles primarily throughout the piece. A grain-like poster texture is seen in this piece, giving in the effect of being paper. The colors in this piece are primarily made of oranges, grays/black, blues and greens. There is gradation in the water as-well as the sky, with the sky getting lighter towards the bottom to mimic sunrise and the water getting darker to mimic shadows and reflections.

Composition

The space is divided into half man-made things and half sky. The negative space and the other buildings are used to help frame and accentuate the Berlin Dome while still being interesting. The foreground includes the woman and the pier as-well as the text, the middle-ground contains the Berlin Dome and the trees, while the background contains the buildings in the back and the sky. To create a sense of depth, gradation and linear perspective was used. The buildings change color the further back they go and all of the lines of the buildings aim towards a single point to the left. Shadows were also used to help give depth to buildings like the Berlin Dome.

Analysis

This piece was made first on Adobe Illustrator to create the vector drawing, the exported into Photoshop to create the effect of a poster. The bright colors are used to feel warm and attractive to the viewer, which is fitting as it is meant to be a travel poster. This artwork has a decently convincing sense of depth due to its linear point perspective.

Interpretation

This piece was meant to communicate a sense of warm invitation to the viewer and appear attractive as a vacation destination. This style is evident as a vector drawing/poster and succeeds in its mission to appear attractive and catch eyes. This piece was influenced by all of the pictures of old, beautiful architecture and the splendor that they have. Specifically, for this image there were many elegant images of this building that influenced my design. From viewing this, people can gain a sense of want to go and see this in person, and not just this poster, while also feeling proud that us humans can accomplish things as great as this without any big equipment or tools.

Judgement

From this, I learned how to effectively create a sense of depth, even with the simple medium of vector drawings. While I didn't get much feedback during its creation and not much changed from vision to final product, I did learn that in order to properly communicate scale, you need things to relate to and connect the dots, which is why the woman is close to the camera and looking up at the dome. The woman was not a part of the original vision or design. Unity was achieved through the similarity of the colors and style. Overall, I believe that this piece was successful in communicating the overarching goal of amazement and want to see this location in person. If I redid this, I would try to create more unified lines as not all of them seem to point in the same direction for the linear point perspective.

Description

There are three main objects in this piece, the chair, the portrait, and the poem frame. The color hue of blue is found everywhere in this piece and is tinted onto everything to communicate the message better and create a sense of unity. The shapes here are mainly large and organic with smooth edges and details. A gradient was used from left to right, creating darker colors and tints to the left than the right side of the piece.

Composition

There is a lot of empty space in this piece, this is used to give a sense of void and emptiness to the viewer and communicate the sense of loss better. The negative space is also very blank and boring, with no interesting features, which continues to do the same thing as the aforementioned reason. The foreground includes the chair, the middle includes the two objects on the wall, and the background is the wall. The only sense of depth in this piece is created using the shadows of the picture and poem on the wall and the chair on the floor. A slight bit of framing was used by the picture, the chair and its shadow to highlight the poem.

Analysis

Adobe Photoshop was used in this piece to combine many images with creative common licenses. Darker colors and color hues were used in this to symbolize the sense of emptiness and sadness that the writer of the poem felt to see the chair, empty. This does have a convincing set of depth due to the shadows following a believable pattern coming from a single light source. Using this medium and realism, I learned how to effectively use shadows to give depth and use filters to create a believable harmony between the images in the piece.

Interpretation

The big idea and purpose of this piece was to feel empty and sad while not being too empty as to be boring. My motivation for this was the emotions that I felt while reading the poem, as they gave the feeling of emptiness and the image that I created here is a near identical replica to the image created by my head while reading. There is a style of realism here that helps the viewers relate and feel the way that the poem wants them to feel with its contents. When they look at this piece, they will take away a sense of pity and sadness that grounds them to the reality that this happens and will happen to most people.

Judgement

Through making this work, I became better at creating photorealistic shadows and using Photoshop's tools to better blend images and make believable pieces. I did not get feedback on this piece during its creation but from beginning to end I changed the frame of the woman's portrait to be more standout to give the image something interesting to break up the monotonous colors and tones. Emotionalism in this piece is used to communicate the sense of emptiness and the Imitationalism is used successfully to imitate and feel real to the viewer. Overall, I believe that this piece was successful as it communicates its feelings of sadness and emptiness while still being an interesting piece of work to look at. If I continued this piece, I would try to find a different background as the current background is a little odd in the middle and dark.

Description

The objects in this piece are the diver, the tentacles, and the shark. There are no lines in this and the shapes are all organic and large. The only texture in this piece in this that is noticeable is the bubbles the move from the bottom of the piece to the top. The main hue and color of this piece is blue with a gradient of dark to light from the bottom to the top.

Composition

The space has been divided so that the diver is at the top and the tentacles are at the bottom, creating a contrast of the known from the unknown world. The negative space around the diver and the tentacles are filled with bubbles for the most part, making it unequal and interesting while suggesting the direction that the diver is headed for. In the foreground there is the diver, the middle contains the tentacles and text while the background contains the water and the shark swimming away. Depth is created by making the cover get darker towards the bottom with a gradient and how the shark in the background is darker than the rest. In this, symmetry was used to frame the center of the cover, which is the diver.

Analysis

The medium used here was Adobe Photoshop and some images with the creative common license. Many normal things, like the octopus, were cut out and shaded to make them seem much more surreal and unknown than they would otherwise appear. The blue colors are used to symbolize and show being underwater, but since there is not much detail in color or shadow, the image appears more flat.

Interpretation

The story that this art is trying to create is that the diver is trying to swim up to the surface, but can't make it in time. My motivation for this was my hatred and irrational fear of the ocean as-well as the story of the Kraken. For the longest time, I have just never been comfortable in the ocean. I've never actually imagined that this image would happen, but it is a thought that scares me. This book cover's genre would definitely by horror fiction. From viewing this, people can hope to gain a newfound horror and possible respect for the unknown the may or may not live beneath the surface of our planet's oceans.

Judgement

I made this work early on and I did learn a few valuable lessons and tricks. Primarily, this was the first time that I had to blend images' colors to match with each other to be somewhat convincing. I learned that I could put semi-transparent overlays or something similar that changes the tone of individual images to match the rest. I did not have time to get feedback on this since it was during a sprint, but the final product more or less is the same as the initial vision. This somewhat imitates real life and is somewhat convincing, but not a lot. Unity what achieved through the common use of the tint of blue for being underwater and I believe that the darkness at the bottom and the bubbles properly communicates the hopeless situation that the diver is in with the monster. Overall, for the time allotted for this, I would call this a success given its proper unity and cohesion. If I were to have more time and continue this, I would probably choose a different diver that would be able to better blend with the background.

Description In the middle, the main topic of interest, the Berlin Dome, is outlined by the other objects using contrasting colors. Since this is a vector sketch, the composition is made up of sharp and rounded lines, making circles and rectangles primarily throughout the piece.

Description: This was my travel poster piece. I used a lot of lines in this piece for both the mountains and the building in machu picchu. I also used a variety of shapes in the piece to create the different levels and buildings of machu picchu. The Main colors are either very dark for the mountain or green for grass. You can see a variety of different shades of green and tan for the mountain and the steps and different buildings.

Composition and Analysis: I used lots of different shapes in this piece and used almost all the space but I also kept lots of white spots where I didn't put a lot. You can see depth because you can see different thing in front of each other such as different mountains and buildings being in front of each other. You can see the blue sky background the 2 mountains being the middle and the buildings and grass being the foreground. Something that is unique about this piece is the amount of overlay and things being in front of each other which shows lots of depth. You can see different mountains and buildings and patches of grass in front of each other because they are in front of another thing which shows lots of depth. The colors are either very bright or very dark and this shows what nature is really like.

Interpretation and Judgement: The message of this piece is not very deep it is just showing what machu picchu is and how beautiful nature can be and how advanced the incas were when they made this place. I was hoping to communicate that people should go and visit machu picchu by showing how nice nature is and how hard the incas must have worked to make this possible. I feel like most of the piece looks like real life but the bottom right and left mountains could've looked better. I thing that my work communicates semi well to make people go to machu picchu and I feel like the unity is pretty good. I feel like overall this piece was successful but their is room for improvement if I fix up the mountains and how they look a bit.

Description: The art is of a little girl in a yellow rain coat and boots jumping in a singular puddle in a city street. She is off of the sidewalk and is about to splash in the puddle. Next to the art is a poem about the old days and how time isn't as it was. There is a wrinkled texture over the art, as if the paper was crumbled and then straightened out again. The colors of the piece include greys, blacks, blues, besides the subject (girl) with multiple hues of yellow. Composition: The rectangle was divided in half with poetry on left and art on right. The illusion of depth was created by the shadow placed under the girl, having the same opacity as the other shadows in the background. Analysis: The little girl was edited in AI and traced with the brush tool as a point of emphasis in the piece. She gives off a cartoonish look compared to the dark and more serious background and text background. Yellow symbolizes childhood and the freedom, carelessness, and optimistic mindset that goes with it. The blues greys and blacks represent growing up and play off a more serious and sorrow look. From using this contrast to emphasize the point of this art I learned that the subject is more prone to stick out and give the background more attention on the food. For example without the child the background would just be a city street on a rainy day, but with the child it seems more cold, empty, and alone. Interpretation: The idea of the piece is comparing the gift of childhood to the inevitable idea of getting older. "Oh, the days" represents the idea of getting older but remembering the good times in life. It represents modern times because people are taking life more seriously then it should, an unhealthy concept. This piece tries to get people to remember how it use to be, yellow boots in street puddles. Judgement: I learned how to connect writing to a art piece and make a piece representing my point of view but also the authors. I also found out how to use AI and add it to PS. This piece connected my ideas to the real world through a simple yellow rain jacket and a boring city street. I overall think this was successful in unity and portraying the message of the poetry and from me.

Description: The subject of the pieces is the llamas in the corner, following the rule of thirds by taking over the right third of the screen. A blurred rigid layer is placed on the piece to blend it better. The hues consist of grey's and yellows due to the field and the sun placement on the field. The llamas then too take the natural hue color. Composition: The negative space includes the village and hooded mountains in the back, which demonstrates a hidden beauty. The llamas are what your eye is first drawed too, but they too correlate with the field and valley behind. I created the illusion of depth through the shadow of the llamas, the same direction as the grass shadow, and I added grass around the llamas to veere away from depicting floating llamas. Analysis: I experimented with the brightness and color of the llama, to make it correlate better with the sun in the image. I used adjustment color match to turn the sheep a shade of yellow and I used the cookie tool to dull the sheep. I also added a shadow in the direction away from the sun and skewed the shadow for dimension. Interpretation: When people view this piece I want an edged mood, a sort of mysterious vibe. I want the viewer to question what lies in and beyond the yellow grass field, what the village entails. I hope people gain a sense of unity and connection with nature and other cultures when viewing this piece. Judgement: In the making of this piece I learned how to select and mask an object and make it realistically fit in the picture. I learned how to make the object look like it wasn't floating and surround it with its environment (in this circumstance grass). I also learned how to match object with background and how to add shadow for object in the same direction as the sun would place it in real life. I feel this piece was a success because not only did I make a environmental and cultural masterpiece but I learned a lot of effects on photoshop which can benefit my next pieces.

Description: "Who am I?" - Abstract Self Reflection represented through straight lines and a variety of shapes with color.

Composition: The space has been divided into multiple parts, including sharp triangles with bright colors to represent my personality, as well as circles with darker colors. The lines that dominate the piece are mostly straight lines with exception to a few curved lines to allow for both a crisp yet peaceful look. There is a lot of negative space which shows contrast with the bright colors, creating a sense of balance. With the shapes, I was able to use gradation to represent a blend of both colors such as red and blue. Lastly, I tried to incorporate the Rule of Thirds in order to symmetrize the piece.

Description: Kyle Tezak's 4 Icons Challenge - Tangled Icons

Analysis: In this piece, I wanted to use the same colors throughout the icons, so I incorporated yellows, oranges, and purples to make the piece very balanced and aesthetic to the eye. The icons represent Rapunzel and her story, including her isolated tower, the flower that gave her magical powers, the crown she was given as a princess, and the symbol of the kingdom she was born into. In this artwork, I used a lot of flowy shapes to make the overall look less sharp and more calm and peaceful. Overall, I learned how to better my skills with the pen tool and creating harmony throughout my entire piece.

Description: Amalfi Coast Vintage Travel Poster

Judgement: In this poster, I learned how to not only better my Illustrator skills, but also to have lots of patience with my art. Throughout the process, I used multiple images to get inspiration for different building types to try to incorporate different styles that are still cohesive in the art. I do believe that this piece was successful in which it portrays the coast of Amalfi, Italy. By using those reference images, I was able to see the overall vibe and color scheme of the city and apply it to my artwork. I also wanted to include the color of the sand in my text to make the piece look unified, which adds a nice touch to the plain white text.

First i started with the letter J in the font jersey club. I picked this font because the font fit the image well and the theme of sports transfers from the fishing to the jersey style font. I then made a layer mask with the letter and added in my image. I used the brush tool to reveal part of the fisherman, boat and fishing pole. I then added a background and a shadow, followed by some birds in the top right of the letter. After that i added some adjustments to make the colors more vibrant.

I first started using different backgrounds finding a good one to fit with the letter C (Clark). Going on unsplash I found a background with a sun and I wanted to incorporate that into my image with the C. After that I wanted to include Colorado into my image and letter because I was recently travelled there for spring break. I looked at gradients and thought that the blue and red would be the best for this. I had the stripe through the C to incorporate the Colorado. The texture I found again on unsplash and thought it would go nicely to fit the scene of the Colorado. Going through different fonts I found that a simple one that defines the shape of the C “Clark” or “Colorado”. The shadow I went back and forth between a black and grey shadow. I chose black because it seemed  to fit best with the trees including my gradient background.

So at first I made two Ks at a font of Sonder sans at a size of 1902.  Then had one of the Ks flipped vertically so it would look like it was mirrored over the x-axis.  Placed embed a picture of mirrored lake.  Had the mirrored effect of the lake right at the point where it was mirrored with the Ks.  After that fun. Went to have the Ks mast in two sets.  Masked the one copy of the Ks and one set of the Ks cut out the the solute in the picture.  Had the background of the Ks and the Ks line up on the picture.  After that hell put on Exclusion blend on the Ks background cut out to get the ghostly affected on the Ks in the middle.  Then made another mask of the Ks outline with a gradient infill but only a black to nothing gradient.  Had the black size moved to the bottom.  Then applied a black brush to the background to darken the picture.  Add a shadow to the Ks with Fx.

First, I centered the letter A with a “Big Caslon” font. I then added a radial gradient containing the colors yellow, purple, and pink, so that it would be similar to my image. I used a sunset beach image from Unsplash.com and a series of palm tree and cloud brushes to blend the image and the letter. To blend the image and the A, I created a layer mask with the selection of the A to give the clipping mask effect and to allow me to use the brushes to reveal different parts of the image, which made it look like it was part of the A. I then used filters to enhance the colors and detail of the image and an ellipse to create a shadow effect under the A. I also added an emboss effect to the letter A to outline it and make it stand out to the viewer.

I typed an “S” and moved it to the middle of the canvas. Then, I found a nice image of palm trees and placed it as the background for the “S”. Using the quick selection tool, I selected the “S” and brought the palm trees forward so that they only showed up on the letter. I gave the background a black and white gradient and put a shadow under the letter to give the illusion that it’s hovering.

I chose the Letter N in Arial Black. The image is from unsplash of a porsche 911 1970s with a martini racing logo. using the layer mask I was able to bring most of the car out. I used the gausen blur to add a shadow underneith the letter to add shape effect. Using the brush tool I cut out the headlight more to add pop and texture to the sourounding image. Bringing up the colors more allowed the blue and red to pop out more in the piece.

Using the letter A in the Kefa font, I chose an image from Pexels of two cars on a track. Using the quick selection tool, I was able to accurately cut out the cars and include them in the A’s layer mask over the original image. I added a shadow using motion and gaussian blur for the letter and a little to the left for the car. On the edges of the letter, I added an inner shadow to better give the feel of a race track and blend better with the background with the darken blend mode. I then added three adjustment layers to the image, curves, exposure and vibrance, to make the image pop more while keeping the saturation at acceptable levels. Lastly, to help the cars stand out more, I used to adjustment layers, color balance and brightness/contrast, to better help them pop out with them clipped to the cars. Lastly, I added a slight gradient for the background from light grey to slightly darker grey following the direction of the cars.

I first selected my images from brush easy and pexels.com. I then placed my original image into a layer and opened my K image. I then selected marching ants and was able to transfer the K outline to my original image. I then used my brush tools on the combined layer and selected the layer mask box. I created a gradient color in another layer and adjusted its opacity. I then used the color white to extend my image and give it texture especially with the flower petals in the image. I used my ellipse tool to created the shadow under the K, went to ‘filter”, ‘blur’, then selected Gaussian blur to blue out the shadow. I ended up clipping the ellipse shadow layer along with the original image.
