Spark Project 1

1) I chose this picture to because I like space.
2) Here are the design choices I made: I put my name in the middle so its more prominent and I used colors that went well together because they are all shades of blue.
3) Something I did well on this project is expressing my interests because it is very clear that I like space.
4) Something I would change if I did this project again would be making the text translucent because I think it would look good and contrast a white text background.

1) I chose this picture because I like space.
2) Here are the design choices I made: I made the text translucent and I used a white text background for contrast because the background is mostly black.
3) Something I did well on this project is using leading lines because I used the galaxy to lead to my name.
4) Things I changed from my first image are I made the text translucent with a white background and I moved the text. I made these changes because I think it looks better.

Feelings Poster

I chose this position because I am rubbing my eye which is body language for Im tired.

I chose this font and text because I feel like the font portrays my message along with the text. The color also gives a dreary feeling.

I changed the blend mode to luminosity. this makes the image feel negative. this is my final version because i think it portrays the feelings that I am expressing.

For this photo I changed the blend mode to overlay. this makes the text easier to read. This gives a lighter mood.

I changed the gradient to orange and brown. this makes the image feel warmer.

I changed the blend mode to color burn. this intensifies the image. This gives a darker mood.

I changed the blend mode to multiply. this makes me slightly transparent and the text visible. This gives a darker mood.

I changed the color channel to grey and white. this makes the image feel dream-like

The text.

Laser cut project idea

a mini desk 'sword in the stone' sculpture. I think laser cut wood is the best material.

I have it cut. now i just need to color it.

I have the sword colored.

this is the final product. for the rock. I mixed black and silver paint markers. the top layer of the top did not fit but it still worked out.

Photoshoot

For this product I made a sword in the stone desk sculpture. to make it I sketched it then made a cardboard prototype so i could work in adobe illustrator. once i cut it out i colored it with markers. I liked how it came out but next time i will be more precise with my measurements.
