                               ILLUSTRATOR: FAUVIST PAINTING WITH RECTANGLES
I used the artwork of Christopher Noel. For this project we had to take rectangles and recreate a piece of fauvist artwork. I chose this artwork because there is a lot of color and not much shading, which can make it easier. This was a very stressful project but I was able to get it done in about 5 days, maybe less. When I finished it, I was so relieved but now it looks good and I am very proud of it.  
                                          ILLUSTRATOR: 5 LOGOS WITH INITIALS
This project was one of my favorites. We had to use our initials to create logos. We had to use different fonts and techniques to make each logo just a little bit different. I love the second logo the best and my least favorite one is the first one. This was a wonderful project and I learned a lot about illustrator by just watching two videos. So fun! 
                                 PHOTOSHOP: ANDY WARHOL SELF PORTRAITS 
For this project, we had to find a portrait of someone or use a portrait of ourselves. I used St. Vincents portrait. We had to practice using Hues and Saturation and also practice using pop art colors, like bright colors. We had to also notice after we were done how different shades of colors can fit together.
                                PHOTOSHOP: WORLD IN A WINE GLASS
This is my wine glass. For this project we had to take a wine glass with wine in it and put things in the glass to make it look like things were actually living in there. Like a world in a wine glass! I used fish, a boat, a plane, an anchor, a rope connected to the boat for more detail, and a scuba diver. I also added a blue sky with clouds to the background. Just a typical day out at sea! This project lasted about 4 days. This is also one of the fun projects. 
                                        PHOTOSHOP: FAIRY TALE
I chose the three little pigs because when I was younger I would love to read the book to my dad and we would be the characters in the book and I would always be the wolf. I miss doing that. I used a brick building and cropped it so it wasn't so big, I used a wolf, three little pigs and a field, I also added in a sun. Overall this was a pretty quick project. 
                                 PHOTOSHOP: CUBISM SELF PORTRAIT
This project was fun. I had to take a picture of myself or find a self portrait of something and use squares to make a picture of me using the picture of myself as a reference. This wasn't too hard. This took me the a week to do. 

                                                 PHOTOSHOP: SURREALISM
This project was really fun. I was thinking about what I should do and I finally decided to do a dog swimming. I added in some fish and some kids on the dog. I was trying to think of things that you would not usually see to make it look more unique. This was one of my favorite projects.  
                                           PHOTOSHOP: POP ART SELF PORTRAIT
I used a picture of me for this project because you were supposed to do one of yourself. I wasn't going to but then I decided to. I learned a lot in Photoshop with this project. Overall, it was very fun. 
                                         PHOTOSHOP: PROPAGANDA POSTER
This project was really fun too. I was thinking of ideas and I had originally made this poster but blue, and thats not really a mad/scary color. Covid can be scary sometimes so having a poster that tells you to put on your mask with a scary pictures of a germ can make people think twice. I used a picture of a germ and then found a mad face to put on it. I also added a speech bubble to make the germ seem scarier. 
                                                   ILLUSTRATOR: TRIFOLD
This is my Herb Lublin Newsletter. For this project we were given words and pictures and we had to arrange them in to a newsletter format that would fit on a certain sized paper. This took me almost the whole week to do. The only hard part was making sure everything could fit. 
                                               ILLUSTRATOR: NEWSLETTER
This is my newsletter. We had to take information that we researched and find some pictures to go along with it. It had to be on a topic that we were interested in. This project was pretty fun until I found too much information and I had to cut it down to a few pieces of text, but overall it wasn't too bad.  
                                      ILLUSTRATOR: HTML VINTAGE POSTER
This is my Vintage poster exercise. We had follow this exercise to be able to make other travel posters. This project was pretty fun to learn but it was a little annoying at times. 
                                                          LOGO BUMP
This is my logo animation. I used my initials "bc" for this animation. We did a logo project at the beginning of the year and I was able to use one of the ones I made. Animations were difficult to get the hang of but once I did I was able to get them done fast. 

                                                     NAME ANIMATION 
This is my name animation. I used a website which helped me find a background video. I used a cityscape. I was going to use sound in the background too, but I forgot about the sound so I didn't end up doing it. The animations were really fun to do though.
