Superimpose project

Superimpose

I haven't had time to blog after working on the superimpose project. Anyway, here's what happened:

Entry 1: I printed my buttons and made them. The TS one came out weird, so I might be able to reprint it and remake the button. I also thought of ideas for my project.

Entry 2: I started the actual editing/superimposing. First I changed the Mama Mia poster to a Speak Now tour poster. Then I put in a Throne of Fire poster, (I was inspired by the King Tut poster right next to it. :)) and changed the color of the eagle on the American eagle poster to blue- well actually, I put a blue eagle over it.

Entry 3: I noticed there were two people pointing cameras at the same spot, so I put Taylor Swift in her met Gala 2011 dress there, like she's a model for a photoshoot. (I couldn't think of anyone else who would have the right pose.) Then I put in an InuYasha poster. (I couldn't think of anything else to put, and the roads are crowded and at an odd angle so there's no room to put in a car.)

Entry 4: I changed the clock on one of the buildings to a cooler clock, replaced one o the lighted poster with a swirly-type picture, and put in a person doing a cartwheel. I should probably put that I've been using the Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast and Image>Adjutments>Hue Saturation to do this. (For blending in the changes. To tilt the posters I've been using Transformations>Skew, and on one occasion, Warp.)

Entry 5: I changed one of the posters to Don't Forget and put in a Ferris Wheel.

New Project

I'm starting the superimpose project today. (The last project we did was the button project, I don't know if we had to blog for that...Sorry. I finished that project, I hope I can print and make the actual buttons next class.) So far I've found my main/background picture- it's a picture of Times Square. I know it's what everyone else is doing, but I couldn't find anything else...

Prom sign :)

Here's my sign for junior prom.

Prom sign

Realized I haven't blogged at all for this project. We're making signs for the junior prom. It has a hawaiian/luau theme. I didn't blog the first day because I was looking for ideas, and then I worked all class after that and had no time to blog. We had four different kinds of signs we could make, and I chose to do a sign for the snack shack. The first class, I traced a hibiscus flower in Illustrator. Then next class, I added more different color flowers. Then the next class I traced a bamboo sign. After that I picked a font and made a background in photoshop, and today I finished and inserted the background and edited the font color. I'll post my sign in a separate post.

Calendar #3

Last time I actually finished my calendar. Then the pdf went screwy so I had to redo all my ais. Fun stuff. *sarcasm.* Then it worked. :) So here's a pic of my June calendar:

Calendar

Realized I never put this up:
Photographer's name: atiajulii (don't know their real name, it's on flickr)
Location: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bethwalsh/
finished the pictures, now I'm making the calendars.

Travel Poster 3/Calendar

My entry from last time didn't go through for some reason, and my work from last time didn't save for some reason, so I had to repeat it. So today I redid my January picture.
Also, I just wanted to say that I'm almost done with my travel poster, but I need to scan my sketches. i might put just the poster up on here anyway.

Calendar #1

Today we started our new project. It's a calendar. I know I still have to finish the travel poster, but I'll come at lunch. Today I found a photographer and I'll start working on it later.

Travel Poster #3

Since I don't have enough blog posts yet, I thought I'd talk about my sketches. They are all sketches for Narnia travel posters. Two of them feature Cair Paravel (the Pevensies' castle on the Eastern Sea), and the other three feature Lucy at the lamp-post. (Which, coincidentally, is on the opposite side of Narnia.) They also feature pieces of the prophecy of the return of Aslan and the 4 Pevensies as Kings and Queens of Narnia.
Also, I wanted to mention that I don't know of I'll be able to get this project done by next class because I have to make up a test at lunch. (Just in case Mr. Vagnini is reading this.) So I'll do my best to finish it by Wednesday's class. (Hopefully I'll be able to come at lunch on Tuesday.)

Travel Poster 2... Into the Wardrobe :)

I know I won't have enough blog posts... I 'll post some more over the weekend about this project. Anyway, for today I found another tutorial (thanks Zach) and completed it. All I have to do is put in the words on Illustrator and then save the final project. If I hadn't been absent I'd be done now... FOR NARNIA!!!

Travel Poster Project...

Sorry, I haven't blogged, I've been sick so I missed class. Zach is getting annoying. (He found a horse... Don't ask.) Also, I forgot because I've been sketching. I'm almost done sketching, then I'll start the actual project. (I found a tutorial already.) Got to go...

I like pancakes yummy yummy :) (aka motivational poster)

Post #17

I keep forgetting to blog about the latest project- a motivational poster. I'm done with it now, but I'll explain what I did. First I did 6 sketches: 2 about saving wolves, 1 about saving pandas, and 3 about helping the Earth in general. That was the theme I chose to do, but I couldn't use any of the pictures in my sketches because they were too small, so I found a picture of Earth that was big enough. Then I played around with filters and added a light flare on Photoshop, after which I put the picture into Illustrator and added the text. I curved the text so it looked like it was resting on the Earth. It took a long time, but I did it! :) Now I have to make the pdf.

Symbol logos

Post #16

Dates: January 4, 5, and 7 2011

We've started a new project on Adobe Reader. We're making logos again, this time replacing a letter with a symbol/picture (like the Google doodles.) On Tuesday I started a "Love" logo,replacing the "v" with a rose with a ribbon around it, and on Wednesday I made a logo "Truth" logo with the Sword of Truth as the "T". Then on Friday I finished the "Love" logo I still have to do 3 more logos by Friday. G2G,bye.
