Lyric Collage

For the lyrical collage project I decided to create a college of the city I miss the most, Chicago. Although I love Tampa, I am missing home. I chose the lyrics "There's no place I'd rather be". In the collage I used two different city pictures, a galaxy background, heart outline and a stencil outline of the state of Illinois. The first photo of the city is the skyline at night. The second photo is of the icon Chicago Bean located downtown. I used the galaxy background to blend the two cityscapes together. Below are the five pictures I included in my lyric collage. I personally love how this project turned out! 










This is the final product:

Animation

This is the logo I created at the beginning of the semester. I decided to also use it instead of creating a new logo for the animation ad we are creating.

This is the final ad for my animation project. I decided that it would be best to use photographs and having calming music in the background. Yoga is about meditation and focusing on your inner body. Along with yoga are good vibes. I think by using photographs of individuals doing yoga and playing a calming music will inspire individuals watching this commercial to join Simply Yoga Studio! People watching this may feel inclined to become healthier and join in on a healthy lifestyle.

Custom Graphic


For the custom graphic project I decided to trace a hamsa into Photoshop. I used multiple different brushes and colors to create this piece. I also created my own brush and pattern in one! (http://cliparts.co/clipart/2771429) I first started using the brush I created as a stamp, but soon noticed it was also creating its own pattern and went with it! Overall, I am happy with the way this assignment came out and I enjoyed putting my own creativity using different tools I have not used in Photoshop before!

The black border around the piece is from the screenshot on my Mac not blank space!

Self Insertion


Attending concerts and festivals is a hobby of mine! One day I hope to be in this position!
I decided to turn the image black and white. By doing this the colors blended together better giving this project a more real feel. I am overall happy with the way the self insertion turned out! 



This is my original photo. 


This is a photo I found on Google

The Good Life


I decided to create a magazine for my sorority, Delta Gamma. This magazine would feature events that are recent and upcoming. Inside will include personal stories about each event along with pictures. This magazine would only be offered to sisters and alumni!

HTML

I chose to create a peace sign inside of a triangle for this project. I found this project the most difficult and time consuming!!

Here is the code:


<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");

////////////////////////////////////// start below this line ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ

//circle
var centerX = canvas.width/2
var centerY = canvas.height/2
var radius = 100;


//circle
context.beginPath();
context.arc(centerX, centerY, radius, 0,2*Math.PI,false);
context.lineWidth = 5;
context.stroke();

//peace sign-done
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(400,200);
context.lineTo(400,400);
context.lineWidth = 5;
context.stroke();
context.closePath();


//line to peace sign right/left side
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(490,349);
context.lineTo(400,290);
context.lineTo(311,350);
context.lineWidth = 5;
context.stroke();
context.closePath();


//triangle
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(400, 100);
context.lineTo(620, 420);
context.lineTo(180, 420);
context.lineTo(400, 100);
context.lineWidth = 7;
context.stroke();
context.closePath();








////////////////////////////////////// end above this line ˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆ

};

</script>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="800" height="600"></canvas>

Exquisite Corpse





































(Above:) Meet Prince Peter Star. He is a half human, half alien and 100 percent prince of outer space! 

I created this exquisite corpse using one of the drawings completed in class. I decided to change the body shape and give him legs. His half human side has abs, chest hair and a "mom" tattoo. His alien features include a distorted hand, hypnotised eyes, and purple head gear! 

(Below:) This is the original exquisite corpse drawing completed by multiple students in class. In my final project above I changed the bottom half of the figure and one of his hands. I added a crown as well. I kept the eyes and teeth the same- I thought this gave the corpse an evil look. I also kept the head gear, this was very space themed, it also helped me think of the idea to create him into an alien. 



































How Peter the alien/robot man came about: 

  1. Paper was folded into 3 sections. 
  2. One student drew a head. 
  3. Paper was traded with students on the other side of the classroom and without seeing what head there was a body was created. 
  4. After swapping again, some sort of legs/ bottom half was drawn.
  5. The class looked at multiple drawings and voted on the four best ones!
