Word and Brushes

We had to pick two words and interpret them using different types of brushes.

Doodle4Google!

We were supposed to make a doodle for Google. I choose to make mine for Andy Warhol's birthday. I used a lot of his artwork and morphed them to fit the Google logo.

Watermark!

We had to make our own watermark and then turn it into a custom brush.

Painting with Light!

We had to Paint with Light by using a slow shutter speed with a low aperture.

HDR Photography!

We had to edit one picture to make all the parts of it properly lit. I edited this one to make the foreground brighter and the background less bright. As well as trying to get the middleground to be properly lit.

Vintage/Retro Picture!

We had to take one of our pictures and make them look "vintage/retro." I chose to make mine look like lomography from a fisheye camera. :)

Spring Break Scrapbook!

We were tasked to take pictures during our spring break and make a scrapbook page out of it.

Splash of Color!

We had a colored picture and we had to make it black and white, while leaving a splash of color.

Animation in Photoshop!

Commercial Ads!

We took pictures during our downtown mall trip and we had to convert them into ads for businesses and brands. In this case, I used a picture of the word GMU that was written on the freedom wall for a t-shirt. And I used pictures of cupcakes to advertise for Capellino's Crazy Cakes. :)

Downtown Mall Pictures!

Here are some of the pictures I took at the downtown mall! :)

Picture With 1000 Words!

We took a picture of ourselves or some other person and had to create a picture with 1000 words. We used photoshop to add a layer mask on top of the shadows and midtones in our pictures and then I added a rainbow gradient to make it look this way. :D

Create your own project!

I decided to play with 3D figures and make a sea pie in 3D. :D

Line Pictures Edited!

We edited some pictures of line in order to bring them out of the page.
Here are two examples that I did:

Thriller/Heads Will Roll Claymation

We had to make a claymation in class and we came up with this one! :)
It's a claymation of Thriller/Heads Will Roll from Glee and we finished it in a span of a week and a half.

Line Pictures!

We had a shooting assignment to take 25 pictures in the category of line photography. Here are two examples of mine:
