4 Part Project

I was feeling a cosmic theme for this one, so I merged that background with a gradient to get it to look more like a galaxy. The object that was manipulated is a 3D render created with a C4D program (I didn't make it) and coupled with different filters, as well as shadow and glow.

Visual Puns

The project was to create 4 visual puns that give a literal view of some words.

Silhouette

For the cheetah theme I found a pattern and applied it to the grass brush. I felt the African sunset was appropriate and it fits well.

As for my portrait, I added the mars planet looking thing and used the liquify tool to create the illusion of movement. The brush tool was used on a very light opacity and then blurred to get the blue green effect around Earth. Finally, the Earth's hue was altered slightly and sharpened.

Crazy Combos

This project specified an animal or object to be combined with another animal and to show these figures as a whole. I used shadows to create more depth and a sense that everything belonged in that environment, as well as adding some darkness for better blending

15 Green Things Project

The assignment was to create one composite picture using 15 elements. I approached it by using 2 pictures for the main background and then integrating the other pictures into the environment in an abstract fashion. I put it together based off of whatever came to my mind first.

This work deals with using different layers. I tried to go for the most abstract design that has the ability to catch an eye because of its colors, my inspiration being a poster advertisement. I also used shadow and glow on some objects for a more defined look.
