this is the end.

this is the end. my beautiful friend, the end. No more photoshop...could be worse, I loved it. Making my website was rather interesting, I believe I was simply supposed to learn how to do that. I wish that computers all didn't have to have different screen sizes so my collage of my kitty that I made would work out simple and easy but of course, no. However, I am verryy happy with the final picture I chose to represent my cute wittle baby kitty. I wub him. Creativity-9, would of been 10 had I been able to use the collage. I'm glad with how it turned out though. This class went wonderful for me, and I will miss it a LOT. Overall rating 15.
goodbye photoshop.

POPPY MONROE!


Marilyn Monroe is beautiful. I know that during her era of fame, Pop Art was also huge, and she has been made into Pop Art a million and three times but I thought I would try it for myself. So on that note creativity a 4, it's not that original at all. There was absolutely nothing unexpected really other than her eyebrow not showing up but it was a pretty easy fix, as were all other little problems I faced. It did not take longer than I thought, I am proud of myself for being able to get through all my projects and meet my personal deadlines. This class went wonderful, I've learned SO much and one day if I have photoshop I will know how to do some coollll sttuufff. From 1 to 10, I give this project and CLASS a 10!!!!!! I will miss this class, but I've got to make moves and get my s*i# donee!!! Btw, I'm much happier with my rendition of the pop art, than the tutorial.
Sincerly,
Miss Norriss.

The Best Assortment of Food there EVER was.


Ah, yummy; well actually I don't know if I would eat these if I saw them at some food party. They are a little scary, but it's what's on the inside that counts right? During this unit, I feel that concept is what I was supposed to learn. No matter what shape you turn the food into it's still the same on the inside- and I definitely learned how to turn them into anything to still make the inside matter! It actually took not a lot of time at all, a lot faster than I expected but that's a good thing! If I were to do it again I would try to make other shapes, even thought the wittle squares are SO cute, I would try to make trapezoids or something cooler. I would rate creativity 8, it was pretty indifferent, I mean it's not everyday you see a normal bowl filled with not so normal fruit! But I think it would of been even more creative with different shapes. I think this class is going very well and I apologize for having to take such a long break I could have probably been done by now, but now I devote all of my attention to it and should be done in a week or so :), well I don't know how happy I am about leaving the class but it will be okay :)

AHH NATALIE PORTMAN + ALECCC + CIGARETTES! ULTIMATE DISATER!






As you might have been able to tell this project was hell. It was pretty amusing and very funny, but rather hard, well SMOKE is hard. But I enjoyed swapping faces and will do this a lot more often if I have the time! I would say this is a pretty creative project, let's be real here, how often do you see Alec with Natalie Portman, I surely never have. I give it an 8.5 in that aspect. I did not expect that making smoke look realistic was so hard!! Smoke, itself flows and follows no direct path other than the winds, so how do you capture that?, a lot of trial and error. I learned from this project that Alec was meant to be a boy, and Portman should always stay a girl. However, they do look mighty funny together. On the curriculum side of this project, I've learned how to adjust facial tones, swap faces, create smoke, yah da yah da. It took not to much longer than I expected because when I sat down and really worked at it it went rather fast and easy, well not easy but easy concepts, just you have to do them over and over again to get it exactly correct. Yet again I am proud that I completed another project and it turned out very nicely. :)

Tattoossss



I'm pretty sure through this awfully challenging assignment I was meant to learn how to apply tattoos onto human beings making them look believable and flattering. When doing this again, I would add a million more tattoos, filling every inch of the body, still making it convincing, and even more awesome. I rate myself an 8 on creativity, the tattoos are pretty original, and tattoos that I believe my friend would indeed invest in. To make this project better I would require the students to have to put more than one tattoo on the body!! How easy is it to just put one tattoo on the body and move on?!! Yet again, I am proud of myself for completing the project, and learning so much more about the wonderful PHOTOSHOP devices.

Kitty saltating out of jeopardous fire!




O this kitty. As amazing it she turned out it was tedious and annoying! I would rate this project a 9.9 because it was absolutely awesome and it feels good to actually know how to do it but it was hell the whole way through! YES, of course it turned out like I wanted it too, I worked to hard for it not to be my vision, except for the reflection requirement, I would take that out if I could. I'm proud that it's my first project yet and I got two credits in doing so, and it turned out awesome! I'm proud of my wittle kitty for making it out of the fire in time!! Everything that didn't work like it was supposed to do was unexpected! Forgetting to hold down this button, or selecting that layer, this program really keeps you in check with every little detail that must be done, and it's awful when it doesn't work! Overall, I like this class. It's going really well and it's a real confidence booster when I can do it all right! ha, but as frustrating as it may be, it's good frustration when everything works out nicely. :)
