Spark Project 1

1) I chose this picture to because It shows that I like to run.
2) The design choices I made were that I placed my name at the end of the track because your eyes go there, I used these colors because they match the track, I chose this font because it's fun and easy to read, I chose this picture because I like to run.
3) Something I did well on this project is that the colors of my name was similar to the track, because my name would contrast with most of the picture.
4) Something I would change if I did this project again would be change the brightness because the picture looks a little dark.

Feelings Portrait

I changed the opacity then I went to image, adjustments and changed the color balance.

I kept the yellow outline and changed the blend mode to darken. I also changed the shadow/highlights.

Maker Project

I'm making a box with a tree carved on every side of the box with a lid that opens.

So far I traced the bottom part of the right part of the tree.

I almost finished the right side of the tree. Today I would like to finish the right part of the tree.

I finished tracing the tree, but I still need to clean the edges.

I highlighted the tree before outlining the tree.

January 21: I got my pieces cut and now I'm coloring the tree brown

I started the left part of the tree.

I put a frame around the tree.

I outlined the tree so the laser cutter knows where to cut.

January 22: I almost finished coloring the first tree.

January 23: I finished coloring 2 trees.

January 24: I started to cut out the parts that the laser cutter didn't cut through.

January 27: I finished coloring the back and front of two of the trees.

January 28: I decided to color the inside of the trees silver and I kept the outside brown.

January 29: I finished coloring my trees and I glued them together.

1. For my project I created a box with trees on the side, without a top. I colored the outside brown and the inside silver.
2. I traced it in photoshop then put it in illustrator. Next Ms. Kushner laser cut it. Then I colored the tree, halfway through I decided to color the inside part silver. Finally I glued them together.
3. I think the trees came out well some of my trees didn't get laser cut all the way. So, more got laser cut. Something I would do different is to add leaves to the tree, I think it would look better like that.
