Spark Project 1

1) I chose this picture to because it was a blank screen and I could put whatever text I wanted on it.
2) Here are the design choices I made, I had to put my name at the top because the action was mainly on the bottom and there was a bunch of empty space.
3) Something I did well on this project is spacing because if I didn't space the Sale text properly it'd look like it said sale sale, but i wanted it to say SaSaLeLe
4) Something I would change if I did this project again would be adding more memeable pictures because that just says that I like memes more clearly.

1) I chose this picture because i had found it and thought it was really funny, and I called it man picture because if you search up man picture and click animated and scroll down a bit you'll find it.
2) Here are the design choices I made, I decided that the background would be orange because it contrasts blue, the main color of the image on the sides.
3) Something I did well on this project is the placement of the text because if you look anywhere there is something memeable.
4) Things I changed from my first image are adding man picture I made these changes because man picture is a very funny image to me for reason I can't explain.

Feelings Portait

I found this image because I spammed the gif on discord and searched up the gif but could only find this image, I decided that it was a good fit for this project since I was struggling to find a good meme.

I once spelled epic wrong while making the background so I decided to keep it because i though it was funny so i kept it. I decided that the background was kind of plain so I added a gradient to it.

I put the image on top of the text and then I changed the opacity to 80% so that the text could show through.

I distorted the text in a different way because I liked the way the text was larger in one area and smaller in another.

I realized you couldn't see the gradient well, so i changed the opacity to around 50% so it's more noticeable but you cant make out the real colors.

I distorted the text again because it made the text look like it was underwater, for more of that effect I made the text larger.

I used the fisheye effect on the text because its an effect commonly used to make an image more memeable.

I am still thinking about what I will put on the box, but I have a few ideas, as listed above.

I have started tracing on of the images , its a bit challenging because of the circles but I'll still try.

I continued to trace and understood how to do circles

I'm almost done tracing the image

I finished tracing the image

January 30th

This week I've been using photoshop, and I've been tracing an image, it was hard at points because the photo doesn't have many details because it's a low resolution image. I'm planning on having this image being put on the top of a box, or maybe on all 6 sides, I haven't really decided yet. My next step would be to have the image being laser cut on a box.

I glued most of the edges together, but left the top one without so you could open it.

February 4th

I am currently playing games to get inspiration for a game I'd like to make

I have created a simple maze that functions properly, well most of the time, you can still move where ever you want so I need to add walls

I have completed the project but there is one error, when there are walls close together you can go right though them. I cannot do anything about this because I've tried to fix it but when I do that you can't even play the game.
