Negative Space

For this project, we were assigned to choose something and fill it with negative white space. I chose a rooster standing on grass to work with, then I filled it with words that somehow related to each part of the image. At wordle.net, I typed the words that I wanted to incorporate into my image, then took a screen shot of the website's layout of my words. The background was simply just something that I stumbled across on Google. 

The Chandaco

This is the Chandaco hybrid species. I created this species by taking the tail of a red panda, the body and head of a leopard geco, and the legs and ears of a cheetah to create one animal. After fusing the different animals together, I added a desert background, along with a shadow for the Chandaco and its species definition.

Under the Sea

This is what I decided to do during a free class...

First, I added my poor friend Annie's face on top of the background, then I played around with the liquify tool to make her eyes bigger. I also added fins, subtracted her nose, and gave her a fish mouth and scaly skin texture.

15 Green Things

For this project, we were assigned fifteen green images to work with to create one main picture. To do this, I experimented with the opacity and colors of all the individual parts. I tried to keep the overall image mainly green, but I also wanted to add in a few random pops of color. 

Renaissance Annie

In this manipulated image, I found a portrait of a woman from the Renaissance, then replaced her face with my friend Annie's face. In order to make Annie's face appear like it belonged in the portrait, I had to use the dodge tool to lighten her face. I also had to give her skin the same texture of the painting. To finish it off, I added a gold frame and a shadow around the edges.

Music Project

The class was assigned to work with these five layers. We were told to play around with the filters and colors. For the tie-dye background, I reduced the opacity to 80 percent, along with applying a glass effect. I reduced the opacity on the colored stripes also while using different eraser shapes to unhide the musicians and music notes. The paint bucket tool was used give the human figures and music notes some colors that were used within the image.
