Batesville Day T-shirt

For this project, we were supposed to design a T-shirt for the Batesville Day T-shirt contest. For my shirt, I concentrated on apple butter. Batesville is very well-known for their apple butter. So I took an apple butter jar and surrounded it with a granny smith, golden delicious and red apple. I had to photoshop in the Batesville apple butter logo onto the jar though to make it look like it was bought from the store. This project was really fun and I am excited to see what my classmates have come up with. 

3D Chairs

For this project, we were assigned to make a 3D chair. The main idea for this assignment was to create a shadow. To create the shadow on this chair I used drop shadow and adjusted the settings a little bit. For this chair, I made an owl chair. I tool different animated owl patterns to make the back and legs of the chair. Then i used a common color, this happens to be a light blue, and painted over the cushion. This particular chair was a little difficult to do. I was the first one I did so I was getting used to it, but it was difficult creating the shadow on this chair.

This is my second chair. For this chair I used the egg shaped rocker. I used a cartooned spaceship pattern for this chair. I wanted it to be fun like the last one. As you can see I was more creative with this project because I created the room in the background. This chair was so much easier and more fun to do. I created the shadow in the same way but it didn't have any difficulties this time.

Comic Strip

For this project, I was in a group with Hannah and Lucas. We were supposed to make a comic strip. For our comic, we decided to use one of my previous projects as our character. The visual pun I made of a "cereal killer". It actually turned out really well. We thought the idea was kind of stupid at first but all of us were pretty happy with the result because it looks really neat. It was pretty easy to do after we played around with some things but the computer was acting funky for a bit. But overall it was easy and fun.

Midterm

This assignment was for our classes midterm grade. I took a personal photo of me and one of my best friends at a soccer tournament, and used photoshop to make it appear like a puzzle. The assignment was to use all of the tools we were taught how to use this year in one project. I used all of the tools that were listed on the guide. This project wasn't hard. It lets you be very creative because you are aloud to do whatever you want to in the project. For a midterm, this was very fun.

NAPP Projects

For this project, we were supposed to watch different tutorials on the NAPP website and create 2 projects based on the tutorials we watched. The first video I watched was about the art history brush. It was basically just a touch up on that tool because it isn't really used a lot because not a lot of people know what it is used for. It was very helpful to brush up on the qualities of that tool. I had forgotten how useful it can be. This picture was very easy to do. I used a certain brush to blur out the sides and a different one to make it look kind of sketch like.

For this Project I used a Vortex technique. It was really cool and fun to do. The tutorial I used was really helpful. This project was more involved than the last but it was really cool to learn how to do. 

New Years Card

This project was very simple. We were supposed to make a holiday/new years card for our soldiers over in Afghanistan. This project was very easy and I think it was a good thing to do. Unless they are looking to enlist, kids this age don't really think that much about the sacrifices our soldiers make and what they do for our country.

Coca Cola

For this Project we were really focusing on text. So we were required to create an original advertisement. For this ad, I used an old vintage coca cola ad. I changed the color of coke from red to blue and changed the text also. This project was pretty easy, the difficult part was deciding what advertisement to mimic.
