Abstract silhouette

I took a silhouette of myself and created an abstract background. I like the way the red brush allows the dark background and still the dark silhouette. I also liked the contrasting colours of the black/white and red/green.

Finding your niche

This project was about going back over projects from last year and doing one similar to what you liked, choosing your own. I made a light pattern then put in into the eye and overlayed similar colour looks, drawing attention to the center of the eye.

Winter Break Scrapbook.

What I documented over winter break was the Decorating of the Christmas tree. I had a close up of one of the ornaments and and overall view of the newly decorated tree.

Playing with Light

To take opictures like this you need to have a slow shutterspeed. By leaving the shutter open you can capture more light into it, looking like youre drawing. All of the above had a shutterspeed of about 8 or 10 seconds, allowing the time for drawing or writing in the air. 

Fill the Frame

       For a Fill the Frame photogragh the subject should, well, fill the frame. The subject should take up most of the photo with little room for background.

Vintage Photo

For this vintage photo I took a torn brush and covered the edges to look like itd been taken from a book and then added splotches and a gradient to give it a rougher look. All along with a sepia tone.

Picture worth 1000 words

The words in this used to describe we were just my name, but any descriptive words could be used on the project.

What I'm Thankful For

For this, "what I'm thankful for" assignment I said the joy of the holidays. To try and capture this I found an ornament with bright colors and lights around it. To show the brightness the holidays can bring.

DownTown Mall Design

These are designs for a T-Shirt advertising the ASPCA which aids abused and abandoned animals.

This is the back of the T-shirt showing all of the information of the local center. The City, number, address, and the hours they're open.

This poster deign holds all of the information for the clinic on the front of it, advertising the company.

I chose do to the ASPCA because it is a non-profit organizations that benefits a good cause, stopping animal abuse. They'll respond to calls from locals and go out to save the animal from its poor conditions and then put it up for adoption trying to find him or her a better home.

Water Mark

This is an example of my own watermark.

The purpose of a water mark is to identify a picture as yours. It can also keep people from trying to copy your picture and take credit for themselves.

DownTown

A photo taken at the Jefferson Theater on the downtown mall. However, the light was not originally blue.

This photo was taken at the Paramount. The chandeliers were in a row down the inclining hallway and i took it and darkend the background to bring out the gold light more.

This is one of my personal favorites. A man was standing outside the Paramount with his dog and he asked if id like to take a picture. Naturally, i agreed. 

A second fave of the ceiling of the Paramount Theater. I burnt in the shadows more to bring up the contrast a little bit.

And my third favorite of my friend Kate. the posed at the bar in the Jefferson and i had to highlight her body and the surrounding light. 

Warm Colors

For the Warm Colors assignment i had to focus on mosty yellow, orange, and reed colors. This includes candels, leaves, the sun, hands, anything that hold those colors.

Word and Brushes

For this I used several brushes that were letters in a base of a grid. The grid made me think of maps and exploring. Hens the word.

The Word "nightmare" is an actual font and not a collection of brushes. I took several brushes and added all the tentacles, splatters, and smears to the background, as a collection of someones fears.
