Shuttle

Just some side work. Took a regular picture of the shuttle launch and made it extravagant.

Hands

Instead of more collage-based look, I decide to add in a bit more unity by making the hands revolve around the center. Used different colors for diversity, with all hands reaching for the same desire. Equality.

250 Years of Charlottesville

I incorporated various memorable locales in Charlottesville. From left to right; Venable Elementary, Downtown Mall, UVA Rotunda, Pavilion, Monticello. I made the pictures fit more seamlessly by using a rough eraser on the sides. I figured that the blue ridge mountains were the perfect background since they literally are the backdrop of Charlottesville and all the pictures are set at the base, further relating to the literal location. I made a contrast of the lightly colored "250" with the bold "historic Charlottesville" text. Finally, I made a slight black gradient at the bottom to cover up any sharp edges.

Book Cover Assignment

For this piece I first created a custom shape and used the direct selection tool to get the shape exactly how I wanted it. Ultimately I scoured some websites for the high quality images and inserted them accordingly, having to cut images to make them fit. Finished up with an outer glow on the edges of the shape and curved title letters.

Lorax

I created this one entirely in Adobe Illustrator. Everything is hand made except for the lorax himself who I just ended up using the live trace tool on and essentially converted into an ink format.

Cake Sprinkles

Took the original image of magnified sprinkles and added some filters, glow enhancements, and filled the gaps with a unique brush. Just a random edit.

Other Edit

This is an edit I did with a friend. The original had an awesome looking background of different plants and I thought the comic/digital look would be fitting.
