Spark Project 1

About this photo, I chose the background because it's of one
​of the oldest forms of music, a cassette, and the font because
​I thought it looked cool, creative and fun!

Spark Project 2

So I chose this quote because Stevie wonder is a famous musician so it makes you think of music and songs. I chose the filter because it looked nice in terms of blending in with the text.

ISSUE-BASED POSTER!

in this poster I see
1. "not one more"
2. a faint "X" and
3. fists protesting
​I picked this poster because I like the color and overall design of it.
what stands out to me is the little "not one more"s in the background 
​and I also got the idea to make it subtle as well

in this poster I see
1. a bunch of "never again"s,
2. a white never again, and
​3. the white never again stands out.
​I picked this poster because I thought it delivered a subtle message
what stands out to me is how the white never again really... stands out
​I have an idea to make my poster subtle like this.

in this poster I see
1. people voting
2. one is black and the other is white
​3. thee cards say never again and power to the people
I chose this because I thought it was meaningful and represented change
what stands out to me in the poster is how there is a white person and a black person voting together.
one idea is I could base my poster off a voting poll.

update:
Today I was working on my poster. I am about 10% done with the design. it should be done (loosely) on Monday.

this is my poster. another one may come soon.

blue screen of cyberbullying. I chose to make the format for the poster a blue screen of death, the screen that comes up on windows computers when they crash, because I thought it fit the whole "cyber" feel. the computer on the poster is the "cyberbullying" one. the text above represents how far we've gotten into stopping cyberbullying. the support code COULD_NOT_PREVENT basically implies that we have no prevented bullying yet. the frown is on all blue screens of death, but I think it has a double meaning on the cyberbullying one, as a way to taunt the victim.

Rene Magritte "Every Day"
​I see a pretty typical mountain scene, but with a face without a head.
​I'm not really sure what this is trying to convey. I'm guessing it has something to do with existentialism.

I see a Savannah-type landscape with a huge circle reflecting it.
​I'm also not really sure what it's conveying either, maybe something to do with nature?

I see trees with jugs and cups, the jug seems to have tea in it.
​I'm guessing this is about the making of tea from leaves, considering that leaves grow on trees, and that this painting *kinda* features trees. 

My surrealist image. I call it "the greatest love song", because of the melting cd, the cd flying like a ufo, the liquid-y music notes, and the pink woman and blue man holding hands. this image is about how music brings us together and gives us memories, mostly wedding songs or songs that give us nostalgia. I used the liquify tool to melt the cd and the music notes, and to make the man and woman hold hands. For the man, woman and music notes, they are stock shapes from photoshop. the background is (I think) a picture of a geyser in Yellowstone national park. The CD image is a stock image from wikipedia.

Update: May 14, 2019 

I'm gonna laser cut this soon. By the way, the show will exist, I'm just kinda busy doing other stuff, and I'm playing Super Mario 64 as well.

Laser cut coming very soon...

Update: May 21, 2019

I have finished my laser cut and saw my art in an art show (the other student's works were in there as well), so happy! And I've *finally* started work on my show!
