Project #5: GRADIENT MESH

The premise of this project was to recreate a fruit or vegetable of our choice on Adobe Illustrator, recreating the colors and texture in a way that makes it as realistic as possible. I chose to recreate a mango, creating gradients from pinks to yellows to deep reads to greens. The spots of white light from the light were the hardest parts to recreate, blurring them out in a way that make it look natural. The stem was created the same way, with less blur effect, utilizing the pen and eyedropper tools. The texture of tiny dots overtop of the fruit we created made it look as realistic as possible, the final step in creating our fruits.

Project #12: AUDIO

Building off of the previous project, we added audio to our stop motion animations with Garage Band.

The different loops I used pair well together, and with the water and glow from the sunset in the animation itself. I started with the ukulele base, followed by percussion to add depth and keep the listeners attention.

Project #7: AUTOSCOPY

This was a fun experimental project in which we got to edit photographs in whatever way our hearts desired in order to get used to and learn about the PhotoShop editing tools. We did simple edits such as adjusting the color hues, saturation, and brightness. We also played with the filter gallery. Some photos ended up looking more like illustrations, but each and every one was unique, using different settings and adjustments in PhotoShop.

Project #9: ART PROJECT

This project introduced us to even more PhotoShop tools as we utilized the pen tool, image adjustment features, and the eraser tool. We used these tools to trace a picture of our own face, inserting it onto a famous photograph or painting, and blending it to make it look as seamless as possible.  My image shows my face on a Frida Kahlo portrait. I tried my best to distort the face into the same angle as the portraits, and adjusting the coloring to make it much more yellow-toned than the original picture.
