Layouts | My Site 1

This image here is one of the designs that I did for the Forest of Signs Project during my sophomore year.
The purpose of this project was to pick an object that stands out to me and give it some elements of what this object's main purpose is. The object that I picked was a digital camera.
The picture above is supposed to show a camera capturing light. I put the image of a camera in an orange circle and made some lines and the sentence "Capturing Light '' pointing at the orange dot in the center of the camera lens.
Then I gave the line and the sentence a new character style to make them look like they are being sucked into the camera.
This image works because the camera does look like it is sucking in light. What I have learned from this is learning about the important aspects that go along with the purpose of a camera.

This design here is a portrait that I did for the Vector Portrait Project in my Adobe Creative Cloud class during my junior year.
The purpose of this project was to create a black and white version of a portrait of our choosing.
The one that I did above was a portrait of the main character of the TV show “House.”
I had to trace this image in Illustrator using the brush tool, the pen tool, and the shape tool.
This works as a vector because the black lines that I traced worked perfectly well.
What I have learned from this project is learning about the basic aspects of a vector.

This image here is also one of the designs that I did for the Forest of Signs Project.
The image is supposed to show a camera capturing some imagery.
I made a drawing of a camera and put it into Photoshop and edited it to make it look vector-like. Then I added a rectangle, moved the corners, scaled it, and put it on the camera lens to make it look like there's a light flashing out of the camera lens. Then I added some imagery in a little circle and put it on the rectangle to make it look like the camera light is focusing on some imagery. Then I added the sentence "Capturing Imagery" and put each word on two different sides of the rectangle.
This image works because the elements make this image so sketchy and cartoonish. What I have learned from this project is the same thing for the Capturing Light image: learning about the important aspects that go along with the purpose of a camera.

The picture above is a design that I created for the Fantasy Compositing Project during my junior year.
The major purpose of the project was to create my own fantasy landscape in Photoshop.
This picture shows a castle floating on a mountain in space.
I had to edit, colorize, and smooth out these elements to make them look real and visual at the same time.
The image works well because I made it so real and visual-like.
What I have learned from this project is learning how to think visually about the subject.
