Halloween Kaleidoscope

This was a Halloween kaleidoscope I made of a Haunted House. After creating the kaleidoscope, I added a custom filter to try and make it a little bit eerier.. I think it turned out really cool. I like the moon centered in the middle and the haunted house around the edges.

Kaleidoscope!

This was the kaleidoscope I created following the youtube tutorial. I like how the writing of the original picture sort of divided the kaleidoscope into 4 quadrants in the finish product. The center is interesting with the blue and purple pattern. I think this turned out really cool.

Spirit Week 4 Square #2

This was a second 4 square I did fairly quickly. This time I tried to focus more on adjusting the curves and levels than the filters. I don't think this one is as detailed as the first one but I am pleased with the finished product.

Spirit Week 4 Square

For this assignment we were told to take pictures of things from Spirit Week and turn them into a 4 square. I chose to take a picture of the junior mural of Little Mermaid. After duplicating the image 4 times, I played with the transformations, filters and curves until I got the desired image I wanted. Finally I put a line stroke down the center and across to define the 4 sections a little more. I really like the  final product with the different textures and strokes of the image.

Negative Space and Text

This is another negative space image, but for this one I used text. I thought this background with the Eiffel Tower is beautiful with the sunset. I then took the Statue of Liberty and made it negative space and placed words, that I created with wordle, that described the image inside. I like the idea of how the Statue of Liberty sort of fits in Paris but not really at the same time. I also like how the text brings all the colors of the image together. 

Negative Space, All About Me!

For this assignment we were told to take an image of ourself and turn it into negative space. I took the silhouette of myself and placed it in New York City. Then I took and image of a beach sunset and filled it in as my silhouette. Finally I placed a stroke around myself to make it stand out and more defined. New York and the beach are two of my favorite places so thats why I chose these images. I love the warm contrasting pink, purple, and yellow of the sunset to the cool colors of New York City.

Wordle

This was a fun mini assignment we got to experiment with. We were told to go to wordle.net which is a site that takes the text you submit and arranges it where the most repeated words are more prominent. This one was my favorite out of the ones I did where I used the lyrics from The Story of Us by Taylor Swift.
