I have been very interested in the design field myself seeing many great drawings and logos being edited in Photoshop made me want to try it out for myself. The Software was easy to get the hang of the excess of tools and colors allow me to make what I think very colorful art and other creations. The software is fun and useful for what I enjoy doing!
We were asked to make a poster for our favorite music band once again I don't know of many music artists that do live performances. so I decided to do Rhett and Link, from the YouTube show Good Mythical Morning! I was very satisfied with the final product of this assignment. the poster I think enraptures the weirdness of the songs and shows an 80's like feel to make both Rhett and Link feel at home with it. The poster also shows off the times and place for the concert.
In this project we recreated a real movie poster. we were not allowed to bring over any existing components from the original poster.
In this project we took a small Tile or symbol that we digitized and multiplied it across a canvas. the design when blown up to have its own new and complex look to it. This project was very much fun to see the really cool professional grade designs come to life as each one went on. the subtitles under each photo shows what the original symbol was.

In this project we added a persons photo from real life and edited it to look like it was graffiti on a brick wall. It took me a second to figure out how to make the brick overlay on the faces. but when my friend Mason told me how to do it I was making them faster than Legos in a logo factory.
In this project we used many different shapes to generate characters that looked like they were from the adult show "South Park." this project was very time consuming but i did enjoy the outcome. the above image is me and the one to the left is Ninja.
Taking something Away Project
In this project we were supposed to take a reasonably sized object out of the photo and fill the space that is left behind when the object is taken out. this was a neat project and it wasn't to difficult with the help of the healing tool. look thorough the slideshow on the left to see the images.
This project consisted of two original CD album covers that we had to make by adding ourselves into the scene. My taste in music does not allow me to see very many album covers so the one on the left was an improvised one i found off the internet while the right was a Imagine Dragons sort of vibe.
Nobody
Wanderer
in this project we created some of our own animals by taking parts out of other photos to create our own unique animal I wanted the animals i made to still look realistic so all the parts I used still had a similar look to them that made it blend well with the creature.
In this project we took a unique text and filled it with another image in order to be eye catching and festive to match the occasion.
I had the privilege of being able to work along side Twitch streamer "Countpigula" to create an esports logo for his amazing channel! Check him out at https://www.twitch.tv/countpigula
During Halloween we were given a chance to create famous celebrities into zombies. we did this by adding cuts bruises and cracked skin to each person. The following images in the carousel show the before and after images of the following actors. Robert Downer Jr. Ryan Reynolds, Willem Dafoe, and Chris Pratt. this was a fun project and we had a lot of things we could do with it. it was also cool to see the rest of our classmates work as well!
In this project we took a famous quote and gave it a new never before used font and background to set the mood and feel of the quote.

This was my very first project in Photoshop! It consisted of us having to add 5 more objects into an existing photo. it felt fun to move over photos from one background into another and making sure that they fit into each scenario. it felt like designing a model for a house or some kind of cinematic concept art.
