Crazy Combo

For this project, we were supposed to combine different animal parts into one or two crazy looking animals. I tried to mix radically different species, such as a tiger and a fish, and a cow and a frog. I got some inspiration for this project after seeing what some other students had done in the past. I like the work i did on this one, and i think it shows how much easier photoshop is to use once you have a mastery of the tools.

Stumpy

For this project we were supposed to learn how to use the liquify and selection tools. I just kinda messed around with photoshop and came up with this. I hadn't really planned it, and i didn't have any inspiration. I think i did it fairly well for someone whos never used photoshop, and i thought it looked good.

Chaos in Music

In this project, our job was to use layers that our teacher had created, and use them to show what we thought music really was. I approached this knowing that music is always chaotic, so thats what i tried to do. I tred to create a sense of chaos throughout the picture, using no clear order throughout. What inspired me to create this picture was the music that i listen to and jus music in general i guess. I believe that I did a good job of creating chaos throughout, but the pattern i made using the eraser tool and solid blocks of color should've been a little better. I think that had i used a different eraser, it would've turned out better.

Pool Balls

The assignment that Mrs. Burnette gave us was to use the tool history brush and use it on any image we wanted to. I chose this picture because mot only was it really colorful, but it also gave me a chance too see how dark and color compared in the same picture. What inspired me for this project was how the colors in pictures i had seen did a good job of showing contrast between black and white. I tried to show the contrast between black and white and bright colors in this picture, grouping colors and blacks together to show how the shades and colors react. I think i did an okay job with this one, but i should've spaced some of the colors out more.
