Talented Unlimited


For the Talented Unlimited Cover I used the mandala that I already scanned into photoshop, cropped out the background, and copied and pasted it all over. Then I just scaled them to make the different sizes. For the text box I used the same font they had one every cover and I made a border and a fading background for extra pop.

Bicentennial Logo



Warren County's 200 years of existence. For this piece, Pete and I used both Adobe Indesign and Adobe Photoshop. We used a photograph that I took of the lake for the background of the circle. We choose a circle because it represents continuation and the circle of life.  Once we had the circle we repeated the theme of continuation by putting the text inside the circle going around it. We deleted the texted and just had an outline of it so the viewer could see the lake as the text. We choose black because it made the logo pop.

"Out of this World"

This piece started from photographs that I had taken of my school, a friend, and a local theme park/lake. I used adobe photoshop to collage them all together and create a dangerous mood with a textured background.

Business Card & Letter Head



In Adv. Graphics we got asked by the Superintendent to proposenew business card/letterhead ideas. For mine, I used adobe indesign.

Landscape


For my landscape photograph I worked with it a lot in photoshop: I burned the clouds to give them pop, I changed the color balance to make it more blue and purple, I changed the levels to add a richer black, and finally I dodged the snow in the mountains to make it stand out more. 

Confinement


To be confined: or to enclose within bounds; limits or restrictions. For my confinement photograph I fist started in a graveyard taking pictures of all the different fences around the graves. Thinking it was a restricted area for only maybe that particular family or even more insight – thinking those dead bodies can’t leave. Then I came across a mausoleum with this small door that had a bolt lock on it. So I was thinking about this video we watched in English where a guy was interviewing Canadians and on how they never lock their doors because they see it as locking themselves in, not locking evil out, and it made me realize that doors with locks to rooms and houses and even mausoleums are a way of confinement. After I took this shot I opened it in photoshop and changed the levels, the color balance, vibrance, and burned the edges.
