First Assignment for Media Arts 2! 15 Picture Collage



I usually don't like making collages, but this collage was fun to make and looks nice because I made it square instead of an awkward rectangle. I also made a copy of the collage and then used the blending mode "soft light" to create more contrast so the images pop more than usual.

Last Assignment!



This assignment was a lot of fun, free reign on an 8.5 by 11 sheet of paper!! I used the band The Swell Season for my inspiration. The flowers are done using a modified version of the Pop Art effect from Assignment 8 and a modified version of the photo cubism effect using the "Overlay" effect.

CD Booklet and Sticker




I made my own CD Booklet and sticker for Andrew Bird's CD Noble Beast. I loved using the peacock pictures in this and edited the one on the inside of the booklet to look similar to the one on the cover. Before this assignment Illustrator was confusing and frustrating, but now I think its actually a lot of fun!

Photo Cubism Project





I used pictures of the Cherry on a Spoon in the Walker Arts Center's Sculpture Garden for this project. I used photos from mostly the same angle give or take a few degrees and two photos of the cherry from an angle by the spoon's stem. I also liked using pictures from different seasons and on different days.
