Emotion-Relaxed


       The emotion I chose for this canvas is "Relaxed". I chose Relaxed because at night we go to sleep, the stars are out, the clouds are up. It makes you relaxed and ready for bed. First I made the background black. then added a lot of white circles and created clouds with them. After that I added little stars everywhere and made them dark blue and purple.

Emotion-Frustrated


         This emotion is "Frustrated". I chose the colors orange and yellow because they are really annoying colors. Putting them in lines and zig-zagging them around makes you frustrated because you don't know what to feel. First I added an Orange background. I selected the Line tool and chose the yarn option and put them everywhere. Also put orange dots in random places.

Emotion-Down


         The emotion of this canvas is "Down". I chose the color blue for this emotion because people refer to being down as being "blue". The first thing I did was I made the background an aqua color. Then  I added dots on the top to make it seem like its raining, people seem to be the most down when its raining and gloomy outside. I also did a light blue fading into dark blue in the bottom corners with the Line Tool. Then I added "Fur dots" in between the bottom corners.

Professional Nameplate



         This is my Professional nameplate. I first added a circular shape to my canvas, then fit it to my canvas. Afterwards I added a feather texture to the edges. I used a gradient background called Linear, and added dark pink fading into light pink. I added my name with the text tool.

Sharp Nameplate


    This is my Sharp Nameplate. First I used a circular rectangle,then made the background all black. I chose the gradient pattern Waves and chose a greenish blue and purple. I moved the handles around until I got the perfect image in the back. Then I added my name and made it white, with an underline. I find this nameplate very Sharp.

Then I got a donut shape, and for the background is a gradient pattern, Satin. The colors I chose were a light blue, and a purple. On the donut shape I used a swirl texture.

Texture Plate


          This is my texture plate, I decided to go with a blue and green color scheme. I chose the GIF because it was most like my original. I was going for a colorful oily effect, this makes you want to reach out and feel each and every color you see on this canvas. I used a dark green fading into a light green to light blue then to darker blue, then the bottom right is fading back into a lighter blue. I used a paintbrush to make all the lines, the paint texture I used was a textured bristle.when I was done making the perfect lines, I added some dots to make it pop.

            This is nameplate #2, I created this in the program FireWorks. First I made the canvas 500 by 300 pixels, then I made a circular rectangle and then did a ctrl+alt+F so the shape fit the canvas. To make the background I added the folds effect, then added several different colors. After adding some colors I moved the middle bar different directions to make the colors how they are. For my name I clicked on the Font, wrote my name and then Bolded it, underlined it, Italicized it. Put a glow, raised emboss, and a Gaussian blur.

After that I clicked font and wrote my name, clicked the Bold,Underline keys. I clicked the glow, drop shadow, Gaussian Blur, to create the effects on my name.   I created a background, added different colors then moved the middle centering bar a bunch of different ways until I found this background shape.
