For our final assignment, we also used Photoshop. The assignment was to create a landscape using only human body parts whether they were from the inside or the outside of the body. They just couldn't be diagrams or drawings. After cropping and cutting the image, we were then to use different filters, and color adjustments to get the body part the color of whatever we were trying to create.

When this was assigned, I wasn't really sure where I was gonna go with this. I didn't get anything done with the first class because I kept changing my mind. I looked at past examples and finally settled on that I would create my own landscape and not look at a reference. This allowed me to be more creative and layout the composition however I wanted to.

One of the more challenging aspects of this project was coming up with what body parts would be a good fit for the object I was trying to create. With feedback from my professor I was finally able to settle with this image.

The next Photoshop assignment we had we to take a black and white photo from the images we were given and turn it into a colored photo via Photoshop. I used different layering options to get different affects of the colors as that were transparent over the original photo. With adding a little extra shading at the very end with the paintbrush, I think I created a realistic looking color version. My final product is not the original photo I chose. It wasn't until the end of the last day we had in class to work that I decided to change my photo. I had all Thanksgiving break to work on it, so I knew I would be able to get this one done easily. For the colors I chose, I mostly just went off what I thought they might be. I did do some googling to see what colors Amish people wore and that influenced my clothing colors. Originally I had googled a skin tone color code but it was looking a bit more orange that I'd like so I played around with different tones, and finally came to

Our fifth assignment, and probably the one I enjoyed the most, was to create a self portrait in Illustrator. To do this, I took a picture of myself with my digital camera. I ended up choosing to do a selective color photo so that only the blue shirt in my picture was colored and all else was black and white. Our goal was to use different paint brushes so we could create interesting and somewhat realistic looking portraits. I mostly did this with how I created my hair and the background. To get the illusion of depth in my hair, I used different values of gray and different brushes. I did a translucent dark grey area over where all my hair would be and then began drawing each individual strand of hair until I was satisfied with my results.

Assignment 2 was to create a landscape using Dreamweaver. We had to include gradients, a living thing, a house, a sun, a cloud, and a flower. We had learned how to code quadratic and bezier curves and make shapes other than triangles and rectangles.
