Surreal Practice Tutorials


for the dessert, at first, we make a duplicate photo of the dessert ground, and then i use the soft eraser to erase the edges of the duplicate ones to make it look like it's a one ground photo. and then we transform it in distort to make it look more real than just a wall layer that look like the ground. and then, we add the light and the shadow and erase the leg to make it look blend in with the ground. finally, we color the the sky and add a gradient layer to make it look real and last, we added clouds and random sky background to add the surreal feeling to the photo

ART SHOW "my creativity"

this is one of my project that i put in the most effort out of all the projects i did in this class. What i did in this one is that i am trying to make a picture i took of the library and i am trying to turn it into an oil painting. this project was about graduation and i took the picture of the library because in my opinion, in order to be success in school and be able to graduate, one got to go the the library at least more than 100 times in their highschool year.

Graduation

the strength of my design is probably my oil painting that i made out of the original photo. i spent a lot of time on it and it did came out great. at first, i thought turning a picture into a an oil paint was easy, but then i again it is really hard to make it look exactly like the original oil painting. after i looked at all the ones that my classmates did, it make me want to fix mine a little bit on the text font and the background. the most important of graphic design is the information that the project deliver. the key to graphic design is that to play around with the fonts and the size of the texts and make sure the audiences gets the message that you are trying to get across. graphic design play a BIG part in today world today, because almost everything today need an ad, or a poster.

si se puede / academic excellence



the most difficult part of this was to come up with the idea of how yours' going to look like. i think the si se puede one was my strong one because on the academic excellence one, i have a hard time coming up with the picture that will relate to the subject and deliver the right message. if i can change this, i would of change the background on the academic one and i would make a nice background for it.
