Continuation of the numbers assignment for Image Manipulation. We needed to take pictures of our initials and apply three different filters in Photoshop to create a unique look for each. I seem to have forgotten to bring the original pictures, but I will attach them to this post as soon as I can.

This is the mid-term assignment for Image Manipulation. We needed to create a sci-fi magazine cover using five provided images. Once we had the background we needed to create a clipping mask for the magazine title and then put in some text for the article headlines and descriptions. This is a reworked version of what I turned in correcting some negative space issues and value legibility problems I had. I no longer have the original to show for contrast however.

Again, Image Manipulation. We needed to create a movie poster utilizing the original type for the title and having five images integrated into the final image. This is actually an alternate version from what I turned in, adding the halo effect around the moon, widening the credits at the bottom, raising Mani (the guy with the axe,) and raising the title to fix a negative space issue I noticed. I prefer this one over the original, but I will post the original as soon as I can, so you can see the differences.
Update: The one on the left is the original I turned in. The one on the right is the revised version I did. I have to say the revised version works a lot better. The halo around the moon and repositioning of Mani balances out the image more and the credits running all along the bottom works much better.
This is for my Typography class. We were to construct a Russian Contructivism style poster with a tabloid type story. I chose Emilie Autumn because I love her and thought she would be a particularly interesting subject for an assignment like this. The floating head in the upper right corner and the head on the full body picture were taken from photos that I found of her. The cracked look that shows on the floating head was done through Photoshop as an attempt to show more of the mental instability implied from the story. On the head that shows on the body I used a filter to give it a weathered look in an attempt to bring it more in balance with the background and the drawn body. The drawn body was an image I found on DeviantArt by Candra with a FX layer put on it to give it a weathered look, again for the sake of connecting it to the background, but also to illustrate a musical nature. The green spiral was done utilizing a brush found on DA as well. I chose green for two reasons. First, green tends to imply sickness, which is part of what I was trying to tell through the showing of the "suicide attempt" and "famously bipolar" bits. Secondly it is a complimentary color for red, so I thought it would be a more interesting and pleasing choice visually.

Out of curiosity I checked to see if that web address was being used and it is. Not sure if it is actually being updated and utilized, but I guess I'll have come up with something else for a personal site.

Here's something that I threw together in my Image Manipulation class. I was supposed to make the front and back of a playing card showing a face card. I felt Wonder Woman is always deserving of respect and I like the idea of creating a deck of cards based on the DC universe, so I made it a DC deck as is seen from the back. I'm actually pretty happy with this. I really want to make the rest of the deck now...
Update: Yellow and blue is an alternate back. I like this one more actually. More Wonder Woman specific, but I think it looks better.
