  Artist Statement For this assignment I created my own tag brush using the logo that I created. I created this on Adobe illustrator. I started by placing my logo into illustrator and tracing around the logo to be able to implement the effects around it. I then placed effects that I downloaded from Dropbox onto the document creating new layers as needed and bringing up and down the degrees as needed. Finally I created multiple color variations of my logo and placed them all on a separate document. I am happy with the outcome of the project and was actually very impressed at how the outcome turned out after placing all of the effects. 

  Final poster  Self portrait  Image used for self portrait  inspiration image for propaganda poster  Artist Statement  For this assignment I created a propaganda poster that is centered around the idea of spreading kindness. My idea for the poster was to spread a message about the importance of being kind and spreading kindness to others in addition to being against bullying. I found my inspiration for the design of the poster through looking at hippie and self love portraits until I found one that would best depict the idea I had in my head. For the actual poster, I used the spiral design and featured my self portrait that I created using Adobe Illustrator tools such as the pen tool to mimic an image of my own. I then created the spirals and added messages of the importance of spreading kindness and added some hearts. Overall, I am happy with how the image turned out and feel positive about the message that I am spreading on this assignment. 

  Orignal Image  My Image  Final Result  For this project I wanted to place myself into my current favorite show which is this season of The Bachelor. I have been very invested in this season and it has been the source of some very happy memories between my closet friends I during our weekly watch parties. To do this project, I began by downloading a complete cast photo of this season and then I chose a photo of myself from recent that went along perfectly with the scene. I then placed both images in Adobe photoshop, used the quick selection tool to create a mask of myself. I then adjusted myself to better fit into the photo wanting to make it look as natural as possible. Lastly, I made sure to include my tag brush into different aspects of the photo.

  I think that this image would be difficult to photoshop myself into because their is a lot of components and objects in the image.  This image inspired me because it showcases a place that I have never been but would love to travel to.  This image makes me laugh because instead of adding pants to the one man he made everyone else in the image feel just as uncomfortable as the first guy.  This image is one that I would want to create because the illusion of all of the objects are magnified and I love how simplistic yet cool it is. 

          In this project I utilized Adobe Photoshop to transform an image into four different variations of color. The original image used in this photo is a photograph of myself on a vacation in Cabo Mexico showcasing me outside next to a large cactus. The purpose of this image was to showcase myself connecting to nature. For this project I began by transforming the image into black and white on Photoshop so that I had a good base for what came next. I began with by black and white image and choose three variations of color plates that I feel best fit this image using abode color generator. For the first colored version I chose a triad of colors, the second featuring a split complementary, and the last was complementary color palate. Once I had my colors I placed those in photoshop and began tracing over the various elements within the image using both the quick selection...
