Cumulative project

For this project we had to make an advertisement for ourselves. I chose to use a beach setting because I really like the beach, and I am not able to go this year so I wanted something to remind me of the beach. I chose what I thought were my four best/favorite projects of the year. I really liked doing all of those projects. Then I put on the beach ball border and a gradient on the sign post. This was a fun project because it allowed me to look back on some of the various projects that I had done this year.

Hotel Rwanda poster

My poster is on Nick's Blog

Text illustration

For this project we had to chose a word and use images as the letters that best exemplified the word, while also trying to tie the word in with the movie Hotel Rwanda. I chose Bravery which Paul exhibits throughout the entire movie as he houses hundreds of refugees. I also chose his wife and the military leader from the U.N. For the rest of the letters I chose the Tiananmen square event, Braveheart, a bull fighter, and some marines because I thought all of those showed bravery very well. This was a fun project because it helped me remember the movie which was really good, and then help me think about what I thought showed bravery.

Series of Six

This is my series of six. I chose to do my series about the battle between the 1% and the 99%. I think these pictures all accurately portray the battle going on. For some of these pictures I simply added a filter or a stroke. However, for some I created a gradient because I thought it made the picture look better overall. For the Percentage of Millionaires in America and Congress I actually made the entire thing in photoshop. I liked this project because it really made you think about the world and some of the major problems in it.
