2010-05-30T18:30:00.000-07:00

For my Final I had to make a Magazine Cover for a fake magazine. I found a picture from my last trip to Oceano Dunes, with my friends, and used that as the background. I then, created a title, which is "High-Flying Adventures on Oceano Dunes." After that, I found a barcode online and I also made an address label. The last thing I did was add the published date.The layout option I used was the Poster Cover, and my theme was ATVS and Adventures.

This project was the most fun out of all the the projects I did. I made a collage for a number one song in Italy. The artist is Pasquale Esposito an Italian Tenor, and a family friend. The song is"Thats What The World Says." I used some pictures I found online, and the others are my personal pictures. Each picture represents a line of the song. I only did a few verses of the song. I resized each picture, as well as adding speech bubbles, and I also made some pictures have transparent backgrounds. Even though this was the project that was the most fun, it was also the one that required the most work.

For This assignment, I shot a colored photo of a house we stayed in while on vacation in Hawaii. Then, I took another colored picture of a florescent green gecko by the house in Hawaii. I then combined both pictures, and change the color mode in the two combined pictures to Grayscale. After that, I changed its color mode from Grayscale to RGB. Then, I colorized it by using a Gradient map with the Vivid Contrast gradient. Finally, I adjusted the Hue and Saturation to give me the final product.
