I got my idea because I wore a sweatshirt that had the bird from Iowa State on it. My idea is pretty much a poster you could see around the Iowa State campus or just a cool-looking picture of something related to the school. I like watching Iowa State sports like basketball because they are doing very well right now. The Iowa State football didn't do that well this season because a lot of the players got caught gambling so they had to sit out this season but I still wanted them to win even though I knew they weren't gonna win.

 First I made a text box and changed the font I forgot what font it was but it looked a lot like the one they use.  Then I made it large and I downloaded a picture that was red and yellow and I clipped them together so that the text looked red and yellow. After that, I downloaded a bird that looks kind of like the Cyclone logo but that's the only one that wasn't copyrighted. It had a text on its sweatshirt so I cut it out and put the Iowa State logo on it.  Then I downloaded a red and yellow border and put it around the picture of the cyclone and the text. I downloaded the images from clip art and the Google non-copyrighted section.  

The artwork doesn't have any meaning other than that I like Iowa State and that people should go there to get a good education.  I want audiences to think about what schools they should go to or just think about their future in general and Iowa State might be a good place to go to.  there are symbolic images here like the Iowa state logo and the text. 

the most difficult part of this poster was removing the text on the bird because I had a lot of problems getting rid of it and tried a bunch of different stuff I found on YouTube but nothing was working until I figured out I was pushing the wrong button. Something I would change is the dark area around the bird because the color was kinda glitching with the text so it was making it a darker white I don't know why it's doing that I watched a video but it didn't tell me how to do it.  

I'm not too sure what kind of artwork this is but I'm going to say abstract because it has a bunch of different things on it. I think it's pretty unique because I did my font and also customized the bird to how I would like it look. what I love about my artwork is probably how the big text and the border look because I think they just look really good together.

I got my idea from just looking up pictures of animals and found one of a lion so i decided to do that. My idea just came from looking at the best spots to put a shape. I saw lions whenever I would go to the zoo. I also used to watch a show on Netflix about animals when I was a kid so my favorite animal was always the lion because their life would look cool on TV.

First I outlined where I was gonna put the shapes around the lion's head, then I made the picture kind of see-through so it would be easier to do when making the shapes. then I used the pen tool to design the shapes and make it so it look like a l ion. then I added color to the shapes.

What I did was first I followed what the students wanted to be on there so I added the flower and their senior quote. After that, I added things that would look good using a fancy font and the saber logo. I also made it look like the graduation hat was on top of the saber logo which is kinda cool.  I added some fancy dividers to it just to make it look more classy and important. I tried to make this look as fancy as possible because I know the students who are graduating want a classy-looking commencement paper. 

I made this logo with some clipart and the paint tool. I also used one of the fancy fonts photoshop has. I also try to do as much as they were asking but couldn't find a way to put the big word into the mountains because the area i had was too small. 

I made this design because in one of my other classes we have to design a marketing plan for a shoe, so I decide to make a visual of what the shoe would look like. I made this design on photoshop and got pictures from clipart to make the shoe. I also downloaded some brushes to make a cool splatter effect around the shoe.  

I created this by reading the tutorial on how to make it on canvas. I did change some of the ways it looks by adding my own font and  also made some of my own designs on some of the shapes i made. I used the pen tool to make a lot of the shapes but I also used the rectangle tool make most of the bottom of the shapes so that the lines are straighter because it is very hard to make it with the pen tool because the mouse is very hard to control and to get them to look straight.
