Its been real

In this project we did a tattoo and i designed it myself. It is to support my dad, I used the lasso tool to crop of what part of the tattoo that I wanted to use on my back. I also used the wrap tool to make it fit perfectly on my back and made it look better then it was before. I did use the darken tool to darken it a little bit because I thought it was to bright at first glance.

In this project I did a project called screaming eagles. I chose to name them screaming eagles because it is a joke between our baseball team and that is why I said a family tradition on top because my teammates are my family. That is why I put pictures of our team on the back. I also added a joke because we are a funny group of guys just trying to have a good time and get some wins in the process. The only thing I wish I did differently is choose a different color for the background and assemble the box better.

In this project we painted over a picture and I chose to this picture of a panda. We also used the blending tool to make the colors come together and make the picture better overall. I wish I did a better background and somehow made the grass noticeable and really showed the pandas facial features. Even though the panda looks like he's crying its really not in the original picture I just didn't show the hairs that well.

In this project I chose the wonderful picture of me and Rob Geromini. We used polaroids to emphasize the picture. I tried to copy more but I could not copy more layers which is very disappointing because I feel like I could do more. One thing I wish I did more was emphasize my knee and have it pop out with my hand too. The picture looks a lithe bit weird because the normal picture was taken with a fish eye lens. My strongest aspect of my work was making the polaroids blend together, the weakest was the I used a lot of polaroids so I wish I made them bigger so it could take up the whole picture.

In this project I chose to do the dvd of the lion king. I chose to do this because in the movie there is many scenes that can be used for the cover. I chose the scene I did for the cover because I believe it is one of the most important scenes in the whole movie. I also wrote my own back of the book because I told the truth of what happens and I want people to be interested in the movie before they even watch a minute of it. I think it really grabs the viewers attention for both sides because the back is colorful and bright but the front is also dark and shows a moon. It has you questioning what is in the movie and wanting to get people to watch it. One thing I could have done better is put more pictures on the back of the dvd. Other then that I thought I did really well using the tools that I was given.

In this project I took the picture of Johnny Gomes placing the championship trophy on the Boston Marathon finish line. This is a very known picture and it is a big part in the recent history in Boston. In the project we were introduced to the warping tool, which was making the letters in the word I put smaller or bigger depending on how it fit into the picture. You had to basically tell what was in the picture using the word, creating word art and I think my came out really well. The only think I wish I did more was use smaller words so you can see the picture together more and use the trophy more in the picture because you really can't tell that it is a picture. But overall I think I did well and would do this project again with another picture.
