Quinn Exam

For my exam i was supposed to make somewhat of an ad or poster board for my work. I made a gradient background to start off and used a grid to place my pictures. I placed all my images one small grid box off the edge and with the gradient background it created its own border. My biggest challenge was making it all look centered and even. I had a great time in digital imaging this year and hope to continue my work thanks mrs b!

For these two images i took original photos of myself and cut out just the image of roughly just the top half of my body. I then added original backgrounds to completely change the mood of the photo. My biggest challenge for this was drawing the background. For some reason or another i really struggled with the draw tool here.

color wheel

For this color wheel assignment we were supposed to take 6 original photos and shape them into a color wheel. I chose to use all original photos i have taken on my phone of different landscapes/ views. I arranged them in order of color and just simply stacked one on top of the other. My biggest challenge with this assignment was getting the color filter just right on the photo without ruining the integrity of the natural image.

Met

Edwin Church "banner in sky"

I like this photo because i really like good landscape shots which this is, but then it also has an american flag in the sky. The photographer created a pastel effect with this and used lines of the night sky mixed with the dawn sky to create a flag. He is trying to be subtle by not fully putting in the flag, but you can still tell what he is driving at.

ABC

For this project i made an alphabet using a neon shoe lace to make it appear it had been sketched. I enjoyed the challenge of creating your own lettering. I struggled with making the shoe laces look sketched and not quite so sloppy. Overall i enjoyed this project and would do it again

Batesville Day

For this project we were supposed to create a cover for a T- shirt for the annual batesville day festivities. I chose to put the two main events and the live music along with catering on the cover. The biggest challenge with this was to get the font in the right color and size and evenly spacing the text. In the end i enjoyed this project.

Chairs

Artist statement

This assignment was to take an image of a chair a warp a different pattern to the chair. When approaching this assignment i focused on being sure to get the line patterns in the right direction so i didn't lose the form of the chair. I was inspired by some of the example images we were shown before we started this project. The main principle of design that i used was warping the image and making sure my drop shadow looked realistic. I am satisfied, but not thrilled with my work if i were to do it again i would choose alternate patterns for the chair that could have made it look more realistic.

Comic strip

For this comic strip i took a few photos of my soccer games off my camera to create a sequence of us needing to score and then scoring. I liked the challenge of making the images looking like a cartoon

Midterm

Inside out

For this project i took an image of Cam Newton whose nickname is superman. So i put the superman symbol in the middle of his chest as if he was stripping off his jersey to reveal his superman outfit

Ad

For this project i took an image of Robert Griffin III a player who is sponsored by adidas and put him on an adidas background. I also took text from Da font.com and put in "RG3" which is his nickname.

Napp

For this project i used a tutorial from napp. I used the same tutorial for both of these because i liked it so much. The tutorial was meant for wide pictures of landscapes so i took two images of the Appalachian trail and edited them. I enjoyed really bringing the colors to more of a highlighted form and playing with the shadows.

Kaleidoscope #2

In this Kaleidoscope which was my first one i used  a picture of a beach and copied the layers to make an interesting image. I struggled to get the layers to all merge correctly in this one, but in the second i figured it out.

Photo funia/ Photo 505

I made this image using photo funia to take an image of some friends and I at a football game and put it on a truck like a poster. I liked using this website,  because there were more things you could do with your image in terms of putting it on things

I made this image using Photo 505. I like photo 505, because it was interesting and different from the others with where you could put your image. In this case i used the UVA logo and put it over fans at a soccer game.

Kaleidoscope

In this Kaleidoscope image i took part of a picture of the sun setting over mountains and made many reflections and rotations on the same image to make this. The key to this was to make sure that all the angles were correctly measured or else the picture would look edgy.

Pic Monkey/ Pixlr

For this image i used pic monkey. It had the best variety for changing the background and inserting small animations. I like how much you could play with the color and sharpness of the image.

For this image i used Pixlr. I like how much you could do with the image in terms of borders and special effects.

Self Portrait

In this self portrait i took one image of myself and copied it into nine smaller ones and modified each image differently. Playing with the tone and color was very interesting in this project.

Marla

This picture was inspired by Marla, a young girl who could paint abstract paintings. I was trying to have a lot of color and free flowing lines in this.

Artists

Susan Barnes

I liked this piece of work by Barnes, because of how she has a very nice set of smooth water, but still  edges it out by putting in box shapes.











Roger Kizik

 Roger Kizik's work all is somewhat like this, with very wavy lines and vibrant colors. I liked this one because there is so much going on, but still when you  look at it as just one painting you can tell  what it is and appreciate it.

In this image i used 15 different green images and cropped, adjusted color, and layered them all to make one bigger image. Making the layers look natural and not choppy was the biggest challenge in this project.
