The following is a testament of

the art I have made while in

college. I would like to thank

the professors who have pushed

me into becoming better at art,

and at the same time better at

life.

These are the second versions of

the posters that I made. I decided to

add some light to the background

to make everything else stand out

a little bit more. I also added some

lters to the images in the middle

and to the shoes to make them stand

out more and make them look more

real. I also changed the shadow and

colors of the font to make them more

readable, but I still need to x them

more. I kept the same basic varia-

tions and consistencies in each of the

posters.

What To Do?

add some light tothe background

Craft: In order to make images, I

rst made brushes to put into Photo-

shop. Then I selected an image and

created the background rst. I only

used the brushes that I had uploaded,

which made it slightly more difcult

because none of them had smooth

edges. I then worked my way up

through the layers until I had most of

the details covered.

Concept:The basic concept of the

last image is to show a recreation

of the original image made entirely

from Photoshop brushes that I had

created.

Composition:The composition of

this images is basically the same asthe original image. The viewers eyes

are drawn to the keys because they

are in almost the exact middle, and

they are also inside the circle created

by the stool.

Digital Imagery Digital Imagery

My First Arson Kit

Craft: To make this image, I

simply moved each of the indi-

vidual layers in the box to the

lower corner. Then I added a

new layer for the type. I added

the tag line rst in a different

font. I turned it into the same

font that was on the box and

then made it into a color that

t with the colors in the box.

Then I added a new type layer

for the price. I also made this

the same font is on the box,

and made it a lighter color than

the tag line. Finally, I added

another type layer for the typein the lower left corner. I made

this type a lot smaller than the

others because it is the least

important information on the

box.

Concept: The concept of this

image is to attempt to sell

the product. I used the box

that I had created for the last

image and made it look more

realistic or advertising sake. I

put the box in the lower right

hand corner so I could put the

tag line in and persuade the

customers to buy my product.

Composition:The composi-

tion of this advertisement is

made to attract the viewers

attention to everything. I put

the box in the corner along

with the included products.

The wording is in the top and

the right because that's the

way people read. This will

make it easier for the cus-

tomers to nd out what the

product is trying to do. I also

made the words circling the

box to make it seem like it

was more playful and suitable

for children.

Bed Makers

stand out from the background

Craft: This particular image

had many different steps in

order to make it. First I resized

all of the pictures so they

were about the same. Then, I

desaturated all of the i mages

except for the one to make it

stand out. Then I made a group

to put all of those pictures in

and I hid the group. After that

made a new layer and lled

it in with color. I then made an-

other new layer and made the

black strip at the bottom. Then

another new layer containing

the type. Then I made the pic-

tures reappear so I could adjust

the color of the background to

make them stand out.

Concept:This photo

to show someone the

steps to making a bed

Composition: I decid

the image with color

I felt that it was the m

pealing one to look a

the color in the backg

by rst picking a rand

color, which happene

be red. I then played

with the hue and satu

to make all of the im

front of it stand out fr

background.

What The

Morning Will

Bring

Craft: These photos were made in basically

the same way as the previous versions, but

with a few differences. Instead of using

lters to change the appearance, I went into

the image le and used hue/saturation and

value. The rst picture plays with value to

make the butteries seem brighter than the

previous images. The second image uses

saturation to manipulate the image. The

saturation of the sink is pushed back, while

the butteries and the child were intensied.

In the last image, hue was used. The back-

ground was turned a blueish-purple color.

The same effect was added to the child, but

not as much. I also added an orange tint to

the butteries and amped it up to a brighter

value.

Concept: The concept for these images has

not changed at all. It is still meant to sym-

bolize the wonder of what the day ahead

can bring.

Composition: I changed the concept

slightly to see if the same effect was stillhad. I moved the girl into the corner so she

would not be one of the rst things seen.

I also deleted one of the butteries so the

background was more apparent. I think the

image with the slightly desaturated back-

ground is the most effective at making the

butteries stick out.

the child were

This drawing was one of

the last drawings complet-

ed in this class. Our objec-

tive was to take Vincent

a different setting. I decid-

ed to have him sitting on

a stool in his house trying

to gure out how to work

This project was our nal in

this class. The only guidelines

we had was that it had to be

a collage. I wanted to make it

seem childlike, because I was

making it for my niece. I used

colored pencils to draw the

animals and color in her eyes.

I used drawing pencil to draw

her out. The last things I added

were the ower cutouts from

the magazine I found and the

potpourri.

This project is our metamorphic

drawing. The drawing itself is

simply charcoal on paper. The

focus of it was that it had to be of

two objects that were not some-

thing that immediately came to

mind when thinking of metamor-

phosis. I decided to take the idea

of the pupil of an eye becoming a

developing fetus. When creating

it, I decided I wanted theme to be

that once a woman becomes preg-

nant, all she can focus on is her

child. I entitled itBlank Stare.

Love Takes

Flight

This drawing was meant to be a

drawing inspired by what I consid-

ered a signicant piece of paper.

I have a habit of collecting movie

stubs and other tickets. The ticket I

chose for this project was the movie

stub from Black Swan when I went to

go see it with my current boyfriend;

it was our rst actual date. I used oil

pastels on scrapbook paper that I hadbought a while back. I used this pa-

per because I thought the i mages on

it helped to more emphasize my idea.

Through The Looking Glass

For this project, we were asked to draw a

psychological self portrait using at least

one element of color. I rst thought about

making a drawing that was made of a bunch

of puzzle pieces, but then decided that idea

was too cliche. Instead, I divided the paper

up into even sections and drew in random

parts of my face and hands and feet. The

only color I used was on the li ps, eyes, and

behind the ears because lips are generally a

colorful part of the face and I have tattoos

behind each of my ears. When I decided to

break the paper into pieces, I was think-

ing something along the lines of not being

completely together all the time, although it

may appear that I am. I also wanted it to be

apparent that there were only a few differ-

ent parts of the body showing to symbolizeonly showing part of myself to others at any

given time.

Whats Tha

You Say?

This was probably one of the most inter-

esting drawings Ive done so far. For this

assignment, we were instructed to create a

drawing using non-art materials and meth-

ods. Instead of using a piece of paper,

pencil, and my hands, I used an old rag I

found on the oor, ower petals, rock salt,

tea leaves, pepto bismal, hydrogen per-

oxide, and a wooden spoon I controlled

using my mouth. After I had sprinkled ev-

erything on the rag, I crumbled it up and

put random items on it to weigh it down.

After it had dried some, I opened it up and

this is what it looked like. I didnt move it

all night so that it could dry. When I liftedit, almost all the petals and leaves stayed

attached to it. I also noticed the color

from the ower petals and tea leaves had

bled all over the fabric. I thought those

were pretty interesting because I didnt

really know what to expect when I started

this project.

The theater design project was the

most intensive project of this class.

Total, I spent about 33 hours deciding,

drawing, and putting this set together.

I instantly knew when the project was

introduced that I wanted to do a Lewis

Carroll poem, and ultimatley decided

on The Jabberwock. I chose Lewis

Carroll because I knew that not many

people would chose something like him

to work with. This set it made mostly

out of foam board colored with mark-

ers. The trees against the backdrop are

made of plaster wrap and fabric. The

backdrop is also made out of fabric

that I hand dyed with the entire poem

written out. The substance on the oor

of the set is made of ground up oral

foam.

Craft: All of these radios were made in Illustrator. For someof them, simply the pen tool was used. For others, it was only

the shape tool. And for the others, it was the paint brush tool

only. There were also a few that were a combination of the

tools listed before.

RandomSort

Composition: Since there is only one item in all of theages, it is in the middle of the page to make it as big as

ble. Also, since this was just practice, there was no real

to put them in any other position.

Concept: This project was practice for drawing the radios for thenext project that we had done, which relied heavily on radios. The

objective was to make as many different kinds of radios as possible

using as many different techniques as possible. Overall, I did about

eighteen radios all using a different technique.

...make it as big aspossible.

...radios in a

cage...

Craft: For this image, I simply worked from therst draft that I has completed. I used mostly the

pen tool and the paint brush tool to make the new

objects and revise the original images. The only

other tool I used was the pencil tool for the hill the

cage is on. The cage itself was made using the pen

tool. I also made the superman gure smaller and

added the rest of his body. I used to paint brush tool

to x the lines in the shirt and arms.

Concept: The concept of this image is still to saythe escape from ordinary radio. The radios in the

cage that are all the same are supposed to symbolize

the ordinary radios that need to escape. The super-

man carrying the one radio to safety is meant to

symbolize escaping from the cage because it is the

same radio as those in the cage.

Composition:I put the radios in a cage so thatit would make more sense and not seem that they

were just oating in the air. I also made the back-

ground look like an actual sunset instead of just

random colors. I made the superman smaller so that

the viewer could see all of him and it would lookmore like he was ying. I put the superman on the

left and the radios on the right because that is the

way people read. Superman is the rst part of the

sentence and the ordinary radios are the second

part.

Opening a Whole New

Can of Eyes

Craft: In order to take these photos, I picked

out a bunch of different kitchen utensils and

placed them by my eyes. All of the photos

were taken using a digital camera.

Concept: The concept I had in mind for

these photos was to simply combine kitchen

objects and eyes, because they don't seem

like they could go together. I also thought

for the larger photo that it would be kind of

intimidating to have a manual can opener

by the eye, because they have sharp blades

on them and it wouldn't be very much fun t o

have your eye attacked by one.

Composition: I chose this composition

because it draws attention to a few differ-

ent things at once. The viewer's eyes willbe ghting to be looking at the eyeball and

the can opener, because they have similar

shapes in them. The viewer also has to look

through the can opener to get to the eyes,

with sort of makes the frame within a frame

concept.

A Work In Progress

There are a few different things

that go along with the craft.

Because I hadn't been working

on it for very long, I only have

about half of the photo covered

with the illustration. In order

to do what I have, I the shaped

around the item I was coloring

using the pen tool. Then I used

the color dropper tool to selectthe color of the part I was mak-

ing at that time. I also made

sure to put them in the right

order using the layers window

to that everything could be

seen as it's supposed to. For

example, the eye has to be on

top of the face, or it wouldn't

be seen.

Detail

I had added more detail

illustration. After I nis

the can opener, I started

ing on the face again to

it seem more realistic w

the different skin tones a

shadows. I added a grad

the nose to make it look

real. I also used the brus

to redo the hair, eyebrow

and eyelashes. I also add

more color to the eyes a

hair because of the shad

and undertones.

Almost

There


18/19


Craft: I changed a lot of things from the previous

version of this photo. Instead of using the pen tool

to make different shapes to represent the colors, I

used the gradient tool. I felt that this would help

make the illustration look more clean and realistic. I

also worked more with the paint brush tool to make

the hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes seem more real as

well.

Concept:The concept of this image is still the same

as the previous ones. It is simply to make the viewer

think about what it would be like for them to get

their eye caught in a can opener.

Composition:The composition of this piece wasthought out prior to the original picture having

been taken. I wanted to place the wedge of the can

opener directly in front of the eye so that the viewer

would be forced to look through it to see the eye.

I also made it close up so that it would seem more

intimate and intimidating.
