Lego Logo-Redesign

I chose the Lego company, because the logo looked like it needed to be spiced up a bit. The first thing I did was found previous logo's from 1945 to today. On the top image I put the previous logos on the side and the color pallet on the bottom. I kept the same writing of "Lego" and simply added it to the Lego mans chest. On the business card I made the Logo really big and put a Gaussian Blur on it. I put the contact information on the card as well. 

Two Fruits

This is the rare fruit Papagrant. First thing I did was find a pomegranate and a papaya on the internet and then cut the seeds out of the papaya with the spot color tools. Then I cut out part of the pomegranate and put it inside  the papaya.

Logo Re-Design

I re-designed the Solar Mapping business card. I used the spot color tool to get rid of all the extra black on the planets and black hole.Then I used the text tool to make the words S-LAR MAPPING. I also used the shape tool to create stars and put them in certain places. I used the Pen Tool to make white dots all over the background to make it seem like it is in the universe.

I chose a strawberry for my pictograph. First I used the spot-color tools to get rid of all the white around the strawberry. Then I put the strawberry everywhere on the BIG strawberry to create a pictograph. I put the strawberry's a certain way on the stem so the red didn't show. Then I copied and pasted a lot of the strawberry's on the red parts of the berry.

I made the swan is black, and I put an abstract picture to mask the swan by copying the abstract picture then pasting it as a mask. I put the background as a maroon color. I put a glow, raised emboss, and an inset emboss on the swan. I copied the address information from my teachers wed page. Then added the email. After that I used the text tool to add Black Swan Graphic Design.

Typograph

  The original picture of Ulysses S. Grant

 The picture after I added words to it.

When I took the image off.

I chose the 18th president Ulysses S. Grant. He is on the $50.00 bill. I went on the internet and looked up words to describe him, battles he was in, how many children he had etc... I put the words into different layers then wrote them on the picture and put them into here places. when I was done with arranging them I changed there colors to match the photo.

I used the Lasso tool to circle the color. The marquee tool to make squares around the color. Also the magic wand tool to select certain colors. I went to the Command tab and then made it gray scale.

Cornucopia

Cannot load image.



      The first thing I did to make my cornucopia was I selected the donut shape and made a large shape, then I got the circle shape and made big circles going into smaller circles. After that i still had the circle shape selected and I made the circle orange, then I selected the pencil tool and made slanted lines on the pumpkin. Afterwards I put a bevel emboss on the big pumpkin stem and created little pumpkins. Then I made A LOT of purple and green circles and arranged them to look like grapes. For the green and red apples I made a green/red circle and got the pencil tool and made a brown line. for the pairs I had a circle then used the sub select tool to stretch it to look like a pair, then copied and pasted several more. To make the corn I made a lot of little ovals and used the pencil tool to make the corn and arrange it how I wanted. I did almost the exact thing to the carrots that I did to the pairs, but I used the pencil tool to make green stems. For my tomatoes I used a red circle and  pencil tools. For the eggplant I made a shape with the pencil tool and then colored it purple and made a green stem. For my background I made a strait line then selected the free-form tool and swooshed the line around until it made circular lines, then copied and pasted it several times. Also I used the the line tool to make orange dots in front of the black lines. For my name I selected the font tool and used Gabriola font then used the Raised Emboss, and Guassian Blur.

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.

Basic Nameplate

          I created a basic nameplate. For this nameplate I got a circle shape, I made it pink and white, then moved the handles to create stripes. 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.
