This assignment included finding various images with correlating themes, and blending them together to create a collage. I chose to show the contrast between old hollywood and new hollywood using the IT people of today and years past. |

This assignment included creating an advertisement spoof based on a well known product or company to show the consumer some aspects of the product that may not generally be presented to the general public. I chose to spoof a cheap clothing company that uses Madonna's face and body to sell their clothes to make them appear to be more chic. |

This assignment introduced the basic use of special effects in photoshop. A picture of myself was taken holding a flashlight that gave a base for the creation of a lightsaber. I was photoshopped onto a preexisting background and a box of white was created protruding from the flashlight. I gave the white box an outer red glow and rounded off its top. A lens flare was used to create a more realistic picture. Finally I altered the contrast of my skin tone so that I fit more flowingly with the background. |

This self portrait was created from merely a picture of myself and a background. I cut up my face into sections and copied them into different layers in photoshop. Then, I produced random effects on each section and blended the pieces back together, adding extra colors. A lens flare was added after all of the layers were flattened. |

This magazine cover was the photoshop test created during two periods using only materials that belonged to myself. I used a picture of my friend, Jill Saunders, and altered it to make her look like a vampire using burning and contrast changing. A barcode was created manually, and the price, date, key articles and a title were added. All of the larger text were created using three layers of color to make a 3-D look. |

This assigment consisted of two different fields of learning: product photography and advertisement design. I brought in several action figures from the Wallace & Gromit franchise and positioned them together. The lighting on the product was adjusted to improve the image and the picture was taken. In photoshop, I adjust the contrast and coloring of the figures, and cropped the unwanted portions. Finally I designed the remainder of the ad, using layers of text and color and writing the headlines. |
