Talent Unlimited Magazine Cover


Class- Adv. Graphic Design
For this assignment, I had to make a magazine cover for Talent Unlimited. We were asked to use our mandala and alter it to make a cover. I did this by using Photoshop and adjusting the size and color of each mandala.

Mandala


Class- Adv. Graphic Design
The assignment for this project was to create a mandala. The mandala was created using magazine pieces and glue. There were only a few requirements to follow while doing this assignment. For example, it was mandatory to have at least the first three rings filled in and also, the pieces on the outside of the rings had to appear to be "dissolving".

Texture


Class- Adv. Photography
The picture of the flower was chosen for the texture assignment because the water beads on the flower give it texture and the solid black back round brings all the textures together. This photo was taken with a Nikon D3000 digital camera with a 18-55 mm lens. It was downloaded and put into Photoshop. In Photoshop, the picture was slightly cropped and the levels and colors were adjusted to make the flower appear more purple. 

Pattern


Class- Adv. Photography
This picture was chosen for the pattern assignment because of the patterns on the leaves and branches.  I think that the two different patterns bring the picture together. This photo was taken with a Nikon D3000 digital camera with an 18-55 mm lens.  The picture was put into Photoshop where it was cropped and the levels were adjusted.

Shadow


Class- Adv. Photography
This project's assignment was shadow. In Photo 1, we had this assignment to do using film but now in Photo 2, we used a digital camera. This picture is a good example of shadow because there is a big contrast between the shadow and the stairs so the shadow pops. A digital camera was used to take this picture, then it was put into Photoshop. In Photoshop, I cropped the picture, adjusted the levels, and made many layers.

Self Portrait




Class- Adv. Photography
The assignment for this project was a conceptual self portrait. I chose the cat to represent myself because the eyes looked fierce and that what I wanted the picture to be about. The picture was taken on a Nikon D3000 digital camera and put into Photoshop where it was cropped and the levels were adjusted. 

Plant Series




Class: Adv. Photography
The assignment for this project was to produce a series. The topic of the series was up to the photographer, so I chose plants. I chose plans because the series was being taken during the fall when the leaves were at their peak time. A digital camera was used to take these pictures then they were cropped and altered in Photoshop.

Echoes Series




Class- Adv. Photography
The assignment for this project was "Echoes". The interpretation of the word was up to the photographer, so I choose scenes of the lake. I felt like this represented echoes literally because noises echo off the lake. These pictures were taken with a Nikon D3000 digital camera and then altered and cropped in Photoshop.

Alphabet


Class- Adv. Graphics
This project was done quickly in class. We were timed to write the alphabet on the paper in any way we wanted and using any colors we wanted. Then we were told to write words describing how we felt when we work up that morning. I'm always late getting up in the morning so I felt emphasizing the word "late" would be appropriate. This drawing was then scanned into the computer and the levels were altered in Photoshop.
