 For my BW to color I used an image of me in front of the riverwalk. I used the triad, compound, and split complimentary color palettes from adobe color for my color schemes. For the first image I wanted to be outside the box, so i made my skin pink, hair blue, and eyes yellow, making the image very interesting. The second image is my favorite one, I really like the colors and the way it turned out. 

Tag; Brush tag; My brush tag was made from the positivity logo I made on illustrator. My brush tag is the rainbow with the spray and other effects. I really like the way the brush tag looks as a sort of 3D effect. I gave it the 3D effect by putting a blue one down, the putting a red one on top or vice versa. I think my brush tag turned out well and was fairly simple to make.

At a first glance I would have thought the only tools on photoshop wer...

Inspiration; My propaganda self portrait shows a current issue of 2020, which is Coronavirus. My poster is an image of me pointing to the things we can all do to stop the spread of coronavirus. My poster uses the colors black, red, and white. The red in my poster is eye-catching, bringing the viewers eye to the tips for stopping the spread. In my poster I am looking directly at the viewer and pointing, as to tell the viewer look at this, it's important. I have a serious facial expression in the poster.  

Mood Boards;   Logo Sketches; Logos;  My logo represents my positivity mood board. I would describe myself as a relatively positive person. I try to keep a positive outlook on life. I chose to represent my positivity logo with a sun and a rainbow. I feel like the sun and rainbow are two generally positive things. The sun is bright and gives off a happy mood. A rainbow appears after a storm, bringing happiness and hope.

          My calligram project is an image of a clock. I decided to make my letter to my future self into a clock to symbolize the time that would have gone by. The letter is written to myself in 20 years, which is a long time from now. Although it probably won't feel that long once i'm there. Time is just a concept which is why I wanted to make my image a clock. When i look back on my life I will not be thinking about all the time that has gone by, I will think of all the memories I have made.            For this project I used the pen tool to make the numbers, such as 2, 4, and 7. I used the curvature tool to make the curves in the numbers like 6, 5, and 2. I used the shape tools, such as the ellipse and rectangle tools, to make the clock outline and the number 1. I also used the vertical type tool for some of the 1s. I used the type on path tool for numbers such as the 9 and 2s. I used the distort envelope tool for the numbers 1,...
