Firstly, I had the idea to do a classroom, and display all of the APs on the chalkboard. I went onto google and found a cartoonish classroom with a large chalkboard to fit all of the classes there. The next thing I did was add the title “AP Fair” to the chalkboard, and convert text to shape and free transform path for each letter to put it into a curved pattern. Then I added a white rectangle on the bookcase to serve as the base for a little blurb of text describing what APs I am taking next year. Following that, I added the date and time of the fair in red, so that the color would contrast with the off-white background and be easier to see. I then artificially extended the chalkboard below by making a new, mini chalkboard, which I put the additional information regarding the fair. One of the last steps was to add all of the APs into the central chalkboard, which took a bit of effort to make it look right with the text. I ended up settling on the two column design which the other AP Fair flyers did as well. Finally, I added the QR code for the fair onto the bookcase, and my name at the bottom right, and concluded my project. It was important for me to transform the project to be compatible with other media like phone and instagram so that it was easy to look at for people on those devices. Transforming the project to work on phone and instagram only required some rescaling, and I barely adjusted any of the elements for either transformation. My main takeaway is that making texts fit into the surroundings and look organized is very important for the cohesiveness of the artwork and is very important for making something visually appealing.

(MP2) Project 6A: Birthday Card

Image
Step 1   Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 4 Step 5 Final Product I started this project by downloading the happy birthday png and opening it with photoshop. I used the eyedropper tool to select the six primary rainbow colors from the happy birthday image, and saved them as swatches in a folder titled "Ezra". With these colors, I created a 3 color radial gradient with magenta, cyan and yellow titled "Ezra Gradient", and put it in the background of the happy birthday. I then created a brush using the "Splatter ktw 3 1" brush setting and making the spacing 20%. I used dark purple, green and cyan from my custom swatch folder and pained aesthetic lines in front of the gradient but behind the happy birthday image. I then created three shapes, a hexagon, rectangle and triangle. In the hexagon, I used my custom green swatch and filled it in completely; In the rectangle, I created a custom reflected gradient with my custom cyan combined with black and white; In the triang...

(MP3) Project 7: Blending Modes

Image
                                        I started this project out by using a picture of a landscape from my recent ASR trip to Frost Valley. I then resized the canvas size (Image -> Canvas Size), and resized it from a 5x7 to a 7x5 ratio. I resized the image to correctly fit this canvas. I then placed 3 images of my friends sleeping at the top of the image, and applied the blending modes “Linear Light”, “Luminosity” and “Hard Mix” onto one each respectively. I placed an image of my friends on the bus in the bottom left corner, and used spot healing to remove the damage on the bus seats and my friend’s goatee. I placed an image of me and two of my friends around a campfire, and converted it to a smart object to add a smart filter on it to show a ripple effect. I finally added another picture of my friend sleeping, duplicated it, and selected an area to add a layer mask to allow me to ch...
