Logo

For this project, the goal was to design a logo that you would be able to use in the future. I decided and kept things simple with mine. As you can see, it simple and easy to read. I wasn't completely happy with the way it turned out because it looked too simple. Even though that was my goal I guess I could have added something to make it more elaborate to catch people's attention. All in all, it turned out pretty good. 

T shirt design

This is my t-shirt design that I created for my IT200 class. I wanted to create a graphic tee that was cute and simple. As you can you above, I kept it that way.  I wasn't aiming for anything fancy. I just wanted to create a shirt design that I could wear casually. I did nothing special to make it. 

First, I googled a t-shirt template and picked out one for a girl's figure. Afterwards, I looked for a design and found the little dragon design. I thought it was adorable. I guess I could have made the design a little more elaborate for the shirt but my main goal was to create a design that anyone could wear. Simple and casual. 

Movie Poster

What can I say about this project? Hmm. . . .well I know I could've done much MUCH better. This wasn't difficult nor was it easy. Maybe I was being lazy or maybe I was just lost. I'm not sure.

In this project we were supposed to pick a movie and make it into a parody (necessarily) so I chose Red Riding Hood. I chose it because it was simple but I was SO wrong. I had a lot of trouble cutting out the picture of my friend and replacing the picture of Red Riding Hood as her. You can see bits and pieces of the background. I also had a hard time fitting her under the cape. I had a lot of problems.

Maybe if I had taken a little more time with this project it would have turned out a lot better. In this project, there is a lot of room for improvement.

Book Cover

This was a fun project to make. It allowed me to experiment with possible books covers for my future books. Just kidding.

In this project, we were supposed to create a book cover with original title, review, novel, reviews, and publishing company. The story for my book cover was about dreams and fantasy so for the color, I chose a light yellow because usually dreams are portrayed with faint light, with everything a little blurry. Or maybe that's just me. The front cover contains the basics- title, author, some sort of design. The design was very simple. It featured a girl's eyes, staring. This is my main character. 

For the back cover, I took a little more time on it. The back cover contains the summary of the story, reviews (fake of course), the publisher, the publisher's logo, and a bar code. After doing the writing, I took a picture, moved it behind the text layer, and slowly erased the top of the text layer. The text didn't disappear but rather, the picture slowly came in. The picture look faded but blended in very well with the background. 

The spine was simple. The title, the author, and the publisher were all there.  

I think I did a pretty good job and it turned out the way I wanted it to. But I think I could have made it more elaborate, specifically the front cover and the spine. Also, I noticed there were some spelling errors. I really should read over and check EVERYTHING before I changed it into a JPEG file. Other than that, it turned out pretty well. 

Self Portrait

At first,I wasn't really fan of this project. Photoshop takes patience and everything has to be precise if you want your project to look like the way you want it to. Learning about all the tools overwhelmed me a bit at first but eventually as I got into the project, it became easier.

This project was a self portrait, in which you were supposed to pick pictures that represented or described you. I kept it very simple, with an ocean for the background (to represent the beautiful island which I live on),

a picture of a hand writing on journal (to show my hobbies of writing and drawing), a picture of a flower (just because I found it pretty), and two pictures of myself. I thought it turned out pretty good and was better than I expected although what I didn't like was how obvious some of the lines of the pictures were. And also, I didn't like the main picture of myself. I guess I could've picked out a better one but I couldn't find one. The quality isn't that great and the outline around it makes it really unattractive. I wanted the outline of my picture to fade out a little just like the one on the bottom right.

Photoshop is really amazing and has taught me some pretty useful things. I'm glad it learned how to use it.
