This project is none other than my midterm Exam totaling 20% of my semester grade. I was required to use all  of the tools listed on a midterm grading rubric AKA: paintbucket, brush tool, gradient tool, type tool, puppet warp, threshold, posterize, photo filter, liquify, filters, transform and rotate, desaturate, stroke, magic wand to delete, and custom shape. I used these tools on various pictures of athletes such as Ray Allen, Shaq, Derek Jeter, and myself. I like how this turned out and would not change it.

This project, my goal was to create a greeting card for any holiday or event of my choosing. I created a christmas card which I pulled off of the web. I used a glow on the lights and I like how it turned out. Since I was crunched for time on this project, this was all I managed to achieve. I like how it turned out and would not change it.

comic

The task for this project was to create a comic that represented some problem of my choosing. My friend Patrick assisted me in making a comic. Our comic was about doritoes that cause mutations, which I told Patrick not to eat and he ate them and became mutated. We used coloring tools and made this look like a sketch in order to give it the look we wanted. I like it and would not change it in any way.

This project my assignment was to make a 3 by 3 grid with 9 pictures of myself and adapting many photoshop features to each one. I used tools such as liquify to bloat, glowing edges , chrome, grain and pastels in order to achieve the look i was going for. I then used a blue cube pattern as my background. I am pleased with my work and would not change it.

Inspiration

My task for today was to look through an Art News magazine and find 2 works that i find interesting. First,  I found a very cool piece of art by an artist by the name of Diego Jacobsen. The painting is an abstract meaningful image using blues, greens, and yellows to give off a calm, aquatic feel to it, while not resembling such a thing at all. I found this interesting because it used such an abstract concept to bear resemblence of many real things. I am interested to see more art by such a talented person.

   The other work I found was by an artist by the name of Susan Unterberg, and is labeled "Pisces". The picture looks like a close up f a creature like a fish or a frog and is zoomed in on its eye, although it is hard to determine a distance the camera is to its object. I find this interesting  for this very reason, which makes it mysterious because it is curious to what the picture is actually of. Many glints of light are captured on the "eye" and "body" of the creature(s) making it a bright and light-mooded piece as well.
