Dalek Paint Brush Test

This was a test for the custom paint brush. I chose a Dalek and made him into different colors and played with the settings a bit. Now, I think it looks pretty good. I like how much control you have with the custom brush the you make, it allows you to do...many things.

Art History Mash-up Artwork

This is the artwork I plan to use for my art history mash-up. Project will be posted later when completed.

Typography Portrait

I am extremely happy with this. I think it has much detail in it, and it looks jsut like the original. I learned how to create a typograph portrait with this piece, and I don't have a single problem with it. It's one of my best pieces to date. the most difficult part was getting the words in the place that I wanted them to be in.

Box Label (Back)

I thought the back label worked fine as well. Same basic design as the front, but the back has the short list so it does not look as nice as the front, but it still looks good and gets the point across.

Box Label (Front)

I think this looks pretty good. It humorfull, and gets the point across. I think the monster on the right side looks pretty good. I oringinally was going to use a picture of the earth being destroyed, but decided that would be too graphic and decided to use the death star blowing up. (Sci-Fi stuff, yeah) I have no real problem with this.

Magazine Cover

So for, this was the best part of the magazine project. I liked designing it, and while its not quite as attention grabbing as some of the others i've seen. I think it gets the point across (the lasers were a nice touch though ;) ) I like the cover, and I like how it looks official. As with the magazine artical, I did have several more ideas to put onto the cover, but they didn't work. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the result.

Magazine Article

I thought this was a clever idead, spread the text so that it's shaped like a football. This was simple, easy, and effective to do. I like how the texts curves, yet its still legible, and the football in the center adds a point to help focus the text. What I didn't like about this is that I had several more ideas that I tried to implement into this project, but I couldn't get them to work. From this piece, I learned how to work with text in Photoshop.
