Propaganda Poster



    This is my propaganda poster, "TAKE IN THE GOOD." This project was special to me because that's my life motto and I think about it whether it's the best or worst day. I thought it went really good with my portrait because you can see my confident attitude through my facial expression. I believe to live by this motto it's really important to have a confident and spunky attitude. 
    My favorite part of the poster is the colors I used. As I've mentioned in multiple of my projects, blue and green are my favorite colors. Not only that but they pop well together in which is important in a propaganda poster. I had fun making this and having the ability to advertise my life motto through art. It really shows that a lot can come from a simple selfie and motto. 
    The first thing I did when starting this project was placed my portrait on the canvas. I then used the pen tool to trace over the different body parts while using different layers. It was very important to lock layers so I could then add on top of them. I changed the color of my black top to the same blue shade that I used for the text bubble to tie the poster together. 
    When finishing up the project I took in all the advice my classmates gave me to critique my poster to perfection. Overall, I enjoyed working on my poster but it wasn't my favorite one I've crafted in this class.

    Kevalyn, you did a great job! I really like the message that went along with this piece of work. I like the boxy, squared edge style you went with. The only thing I feel this piece is missing is the shadows along your face and arms.

Business Cards

    These are the three business cards that I worked on for this assignment. This was very tricky for me and did not come easy. I spent hours watching tutorial videos and playing around with trial and error. When I finally got the hang of it, I began using layers. A few that I found myself using more were header, subheader, logo, and background. I really liked how I got to tune my inner creativity and use colors that speak to me. I also played around with different gradients and shades. The last thing that I found that makes my business cards stand out is the symbols I used in front of all of my information on the back.

Autoscopy

     Above is my autoscopy project that I worked on over Thanksgiving break. This is by far my favorite end result that I've completed this semester. I really enjoyed getting to take aspects from outer space and correlating them with a picture I took on Halloween in my fembot costume. To gain inspiration I surfed a lot of different websites like Google Images, Pinterest, and a variety of websites that were specifically recommended for this assignment.      I picked four images that I wanted to use; a spacecraft, cluster of aliens, galaxy background, and shooting stars. Going in I knew that I wanted the whole picture to have the same overall theme and ended up choosing space galaxy. The first thing I did when I started editing the original image was the switch from normal to exclusion to give the galaxy vibe.  With each image, I made sure they each had their own layer so I could continue switching from normal to whatever option meshed the best. Once all my images were locked in, I a

Somewhere

       When I found out that we were going to be working in Photoshop I was very excited for this specific reason. I follow people on social media that are famous for editing themselves into famous celebrities' photos and I wanted to know the ins and outs of doing just that. Growing up my favorite movie series was Mean Girls, I would pretend to play the roles of the characters in my everyday life. This project was the closest opportunity for me to be a part of the movie series.      I began with adding the original cover photo from Mean Girls 2 into Photoshop, then started using multiple different layers. Some of the layers I used helped me fix the saturation, hues, and opacities to make myself appear like I was there during the actual photoshoot. As you can tell in my photoshoot picture (last image), the bottom half of my legs is cut off. For this project, I knew I wanted my knees down in the picture because that's how the three characters in the back appear. To do so, I found
