Spontanious Audio
This was my first illustration on the computer. I took some elements from it and put on a glowing filter. I liked how it looked like a light show or a party. The songs I picked out are more upbeat and generally songs that make me happy.

PhotoShop Tutorial
I used this tutorial--> http://www.adobetutorialz.com/articles/30970758/1/how-to-use-texture-effects-to-create-beautiful-compositions-photoshop-cs5
And I used the same picture for the dancer.. Because I couldn't find another good dancer picture.
I think it turned out really cool!
And the tutorial was fun :3

City
Photomontage
I wanted to make something kinda far out so once i found the background layer i just added random things as they popped in my head then i decided the last image should be of the L.A. skyline over the mountains to make this place a sort of secluded odd location. My inspiration just came with each image I thought up. It was pretty fun
God Makes Man
I was inspired to make this piece by browsing through some of the pictures available for this project. I found the hands drawn out in this image and knew I wanted them holding something, so I decided to make an image of people being created. The montage took longer than I had hoped, but it turned out well
gear head
Richner Montage
I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do when I first started my montage. I added all of the brighter type images first and felt that the montage needed more. So I then layered the unicorn over them to create more of a whimsical feeling and added fireworks as well, but they're really pale so they are really just giving the pic more depth. I didn't have too much trouble creating it.

Assignment for September 23, 2011
Today you will be working in Photoshop. Your first goal is to finish your Photomontage and any other missing assignments in my class. Once this is completed I would like you to complete a tutorial from one of the websites below. The goal of today is to explore Photoshop by trying out filters, effects and other cool techniques. This will help you with your next assignment of creating a better CD package design or Illustration. Even if you don’t completely finish a tutorial I want to see what you created by posting it to the blog. To do this you will go to File > Save for Web and Devices > Choose Jpeg > Save > Desktop and title the work > Post to the blog.
Please help each other out and I will be back on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Photomontage
Climbing Moss photo montage Erin
I don't know what it's necessarily about. I guess it's about, "Dang nature, you scary" . The people are very small in the image while the animals and trees are significantly larger. But people are still going out and doing it. I don't really know. Whatever. There's a unicorn in the background.

Pike's Montage
Photomontage!
I am doing another project involving surrealism. I wanted to incorporate things that can be in a desert, but not in the middle of it randomly all at once. I had to redo a lot of things because I wasn't happy with some images I wanted in there or the shadows were not correct. All in all it was a fun practice.

Logo
I made the "Terror Squad" logo for the starting defensive lineman on the football team. We are one of the best in the state and we call ourselves Terror Squad. This all started in wrestling, because all but one of us are upper-weight wrestlers.
Photo Shop
This is my photo shop art, I did this because I thought that it would be unquek if people from earth discovered another planet with life, and civilizations on it. So I showed that hear.
Montage
I made this montage like this because, I just wanted to make it kind of look like what it would if it was real. I also tried to make it random when I was adding the pictures. It was an interesting project. I liked being able to put what I wanted on it. This project was fun. I will use this again in the future.

When I did this... I guess I was kinda feeling lost in the world or something. So it has some meaning to it. The girl trying to find her both and it's blocked by the mystery being. So ya. There's your story to it. :)
And during this whole thing I had no troubles! It was actually really easy YAY!

I chose to do laxatives because in my design, I had the idea of smooth move. Elmore came up and said smooth? Like laxatives? So I ended up doing a logo for "Smooth Move Laxatives". I chose to do a cup and something "smooth" coming out. Hence, the goopy "Smooth Move" coming out of the cup. I chose green because it's the color of slime and I chose the cup to be red-purple color because it's the opposite of green.
