Holidays :)

I was thinking of Christmas time when I started his assignment, but being Jewish I decided to combine the two. The blue/grey background was a pattern I created, as well as the "table" that the menorah is on. As far as my brushes, I created the christmas lights brush with a Hannukah theme, I created the menorah brush, the lights brush, and the dreidel brush. The only thing original from photoshop was the "snow" which came from a dust brush that Photoshop already had.

FEVER Magazine

I have done countless magazine covers, but this project in particular was a challenge because I have to use pictures of myself. I was intrigued by the word fever so I decided to use it as my title, and because a lot of magazine have their title at the top I decided to put it vertically to make it different. In the moment I was feeling stressed so I made my magazine about stress and how to destress. The pictures look cohesive even though I changed the filter on the pictures to give them the same texture. 

Stairs!

I chose to place myself in this beautiful scenery because I fell in love with the landscape of the stairs along the water. I was struggling with this on my computer because I didn't have a mouse but it seemed to work perfectly know which is a relief. It worked perfectly that both pictures have a staircase.

Dumbo Plays Soccer

Elephants are one of the most majestic creatures that roam the earth. In a way you could say that they are one of my favorite animals, but as soon as I saw the original picture, I knew it was what I wanted to do. I tried doing the background from the original instead of the sky but I like that I made it my own. In addition, I like how the color of the ball compliments the color of the elephant. I am actually very proud of this piece.

Exquisite Corpse!

This exquisite corpse was inspired by the sketches we made in class. I tried to stay true to what a robot would look like through the colors but creating the gradients proved difficult because I could figure out how to center them. I am especially proud of the head because I was the one that sketched the head in class so I tried to stay true to my vision.
