Silhouette Design project

Hello again :) This time in Digital Design, we were supposed to take the pictures taken (and used for the Famous for 15 min. project) and make a picture with one main original picture in front, and the other two pictures in silhouette form in back. This project took forever to finish. It took me nearly two class periods just to cut out the pictures from their original backgrounds. Then, another class period was used to create the background. The final part, putting the pictures onto the background and completing the picture took a small amount of time.
I made this project on Photoshop. I loved making this project, and I loved the end result even more. I would change nothing about how it turned out. :) (except for maybe taking completely different pictures. I loved my design, but hated my pictures)
Until next time. Paige ;)

Famous for 15 Minutes project



Hello again :) For this project, we were supposed to create a picture similar to the style of Andy Warhol. We were supposed to take a picture of ourselves, put four copies of the picture onto the same page, and color them in certain ways. I used Photoshop to make the final product.
In the end, I reaaaaally didn't like this picture. The original pictures used for this project were taken in class, and I think I took horrible pictures, therefore my final project didn't turn out that great. Besides that, I liked the color schemes I picked. :) If i had more time, I would've re-taken the picture and started over.
Until next time, Paige ;)

Bottlecap Heart Project


For this project in my Digital Design class, we had to design some kind of heart to put into a bottlecap. I decided to make this design, a kind of plain-ish but decorative style of heart.I used Photoshop to make the heart, along with all of the colors and the background. This project was pretty easy and only took me about one and a half class periods.
 I love how my heart turned out, but I would have spent a bit more time on making the colors agree if I had more time. 
Until next time, Paige ;)

Self Portriat project


Here's the next project that we did in my Digital Design class: a self portrait. The special thing about these self portraits is that they are made only out of text. Every single marking that I made on the picture is some form of text seen on the keyboard, which is wayyy harder than it sounds.
 I made this project with Photoshop, but i only used the text feature. I had fun doing this project, but it was kind of time consuming. In the end, I think it was worth the effort though. I love the way my final project turned out, although I would've preferred to spend a bit more time on some finishing touches, such as fine tuning the hair a bit.. but oh well.
Until next time: Paige ;)

Sign Parody project

This is one of my first projects that I completed for my Digital Design class. We were supposed to make a parody of a known sign: for mine, I used a hiking sign, and I turned it into the sign seen here. I'm not really sure what the whole meaning behind it is.... I just wanted to make something funny. I mean, what's funnier than a couple of old people ambling along carrying some guns? =P
 To make my gorgeous sign, I used Photoshop to copy down the real sign of the hikers, then I added and took away a few things to make the final product.
One of my big problems with this project was trying to make it look like how I pictured it. I really wanted to add quite a few more details to the people, such as a hat or something to make them look more like old people, but I ran out of time, but in the end I think it turned out alright, although I still think it needs a bit more work.
Until next time: Paige ;)
