 These are my sketches for my business cards. I used a mixture of fonts and included different art and drawings in my sketches. This is my favorite business card. I created a simple front that includes only a background and my logo. For the back, I lowered the saturation on the background so the words would stand out more. I also made the font for my information different and more bold so it would stand out. Since this business card is lavender I wanted to include a lavender clip art to separate my first and last name. On the back side, I thought it made the most sense to use the black and white logo so that it looks more minimalist. I also made the information on the card a bold text with a white outline so it would stand out. This is my final business card. I really like this business card because I think the background color looks really good with my logo. It is also very simple but clean.

My postcard used photos from the solar eclipse in Fort Worth, Texas. I am not from there, however, the solar eclipse was far more beautiful in Texas rather than in Minnesota. I used a mix of fonts to create and colors to create a postcard I believe could be found at a store.   

For my GIF I used only 2 pictures from Google and everything else I created using Photoshop. This GIF tells the story of a flower that dies and later blossoms into a magical flower. A cute bunny runs by to see the magical flower and then the bunny hops away. This is meant to be a lighthearted GIF that just makes you happy.  

  This video taught me the important tools to set up an animation and how to create a basic animation. I learned that it's important to put each body part on a different layer because if you don't you will not be able to move your character. You can paint and draw your character similarly to what we did on illustrate. Adding each detail to your drawing on different layers can get messy, so I learned it makes it easier to group your layers. This allows you to easily know which piece of the drawing you are moving. This video was a quick introduction to frame-by-frame animation. You can easily duplicate layers by dragging your layer to the plus sign. By clicking each copy of the layer you can draw something on each layer so when it plays your drawing moves. In this video, she took a different approach to doing her GIF. She imported her image from Illustrate instead of creating it on Photoshop itself. You start by adding a timeline and then you can begin hiding and unhiding parts o...

 Original photo: Original photo: Photoshopped photo: This assignment was to photoshop myself into my favorite show or movie. I chose to photoshop myself into a photo of the cast of gossip girl. This assignment showed me how to change the lighting, highlights and shadows, contrast, and how to believably edit myself into a photo. 

1). I think this image would be hard to photoshop myself into because his arms had to be in that exact position to make it look realistic. Also the lighting in the photo would have been hard to recreate. 2). This image gave me inspiration for my "somewhere" project because he dressed like he would actually be in the photo. He also added shadows to make it look more realistic. 3). This photoshopped image made me laugh because instead of making the guys shorts longer he made all of the guys wear shorts.  I would maybe want to recreate this image because I think its a cool trick how food companies use optical illusions to make it appear as the food is hot but its really a steamer.
