Final Project

For my final project we had to make a business card, letter head and brochure for our made up company.
My company is a preschool called "Your First ABC's"

For the 3 pieces I had to do I kept the same color scheme (green, red, blue & light yellow) so that there would be unity between the 3.
I also rearranged the logo (basically the letter cubes) so that I could place it in different places throughout the work.
I also tried maintaing the same line pattern throughout the 3 pieces of work so that there was also unity.
I also used the same font and lettering arrangement throughout the 3 pieces of work.

Lyric Project



Song: Empire State of Mind By: Alicia Keys ft. Jay-Z

Quote: New York, concrete jungle were dreams are made of

For this collage I got a NYC picture and used it as the background. I got different jungle pictures where I cropped the parts I could merge into the image. I used different cropping tools such as the magic wand and the pen tool. For the light beams I created the shape and then applied the effect screen in order to allow it to blend into the image. At the end I included a complete picture of a jungle over the whole image and lowered its opacity so that it would give it a gloomy forest-like effect.

Graphic Practice

Abstract Lips

For the photoshop practice assignment I just did a funky lip! For the upper lip I used a series of line patterns that I made. For the lower lip I just selected different areas of the lip and colored them with a different tone of red. For the background I just included a collage of different designs. The black dots are from a pattern I made. The blue wiggly lines I made them using a brush that already existed. The horizontal and vertical lines are just a series of shapes I made and merged together.
