For this assignment, we were instructed to create our own ad. I decided to use the Garmin GPS System for my ad, then came up with a funny idea. All I had to do was find a jar of pickles, a Garmin GPS, and a man inside of a hole. Then, I pieced everything together and added the text.

Alexis Rockman

Alexis Rockman is a modern artist that paints using a fantasy-realism style. He also uses a lot of bright and eye-catching colors. Many of his works (including this one) show the inside of an object or space in nature. Rockman likes to show the things that are overlooked in nature, or things that are hidden in nature. I discovered this wonderful artist in the magazine titled ARTnews.

Bionic

My friend Annie was used to become bionic for this project. To create her as a bionic spacewoman, I first drew a line down the middle of Annie's face and body to separate her two different sides. Then, I liquified her curves to create a cartooned look. After perfecting Annie's body, I put together her outfit and skin. Finally, I colored her hair purple, which was my favorite attribute of the overall project.

Painting

This assignment was to take a photo and simply make it look like a painting. To do so, I applied three filters.

Comic Strip

For this project, we were allowed to work in partners. Annie and I decided that we wanted to make a comic about fruit, so we simply Googled fruit jokes on the web. To create the cartoon effect, we first added a surface blur to the pictures. Next, we added film grain and applied the color halftone effect. After applying the effects, we erased the effects off of ourselves. Last but not least, we liquified my eyes in the last strip, then added all the speech bubbles and arrows.

Panorama

This is a panoramic picture created in photoshop. To make this, all I had to do was choose three different photos taken in the same general area, upload them to photoshop, and merge them together. The panoramic project was probably the easiest that I have done so far this year, seeing that all I had to do was press a button, and the photoshop program did the rest.

Chair Art

For this assignment, we were given three different chairs. With each chair, we were asked to find artwork with a certain artist or theme, then take strips of the artists' paintings and use them to create a new fabric cover for each chair. We were also asked to create a shadow each chair by copying and pasting the chair itself, then filling it with black and using the distort tool to make the shadow more realistic.
