Stick Figure Movie

In my stick figure animation, I made a layer for each moving object. I then created a stick figure with a background that appeared to move with the stick figure. I used the tweens to make the smooth movement. The zooming in effect was caused by enlarging all of the onscreen objects. I also used the text tool to create an on screen message.

Animated GIF- Stick Figure

This is my animated GIF. I made the stick figure by using the line and ellipse tool. The cape is a bitmap. The clouds are groups of ellipses grouped together, and the sun is also an ellipse. The building and bricks are rectangles. Each frame, the clouds moved over 30 pixels to the left and the stick figure moved up or down 30 pixels.

Historical Society Membership Cards

To start out I made 2 rectangles, with a line between them. I reused the logos from my business cards. I then copied in the text and changed it's size and type. Lastly, I extended the signature space and labelled the front and back.

Historical Society Business Cards

To start out I copied in the logo and resized it. For the grey one I used the magic wand and the paint bucket tool to color the logo grey. I then copied in the text and changed the font size to 10 and changed the font on each one.

Bioware Business Card

For the cardstock, I would reccommend one with a light grey/off-white hue, although most greys will get the job done. For the  text, I would reccommend using a single color of ink. This ink should be a dark blue, but if none is available, use a blue with a tint of grey.

Face- "Gordan Shepard"

This is my man, Gordon Shepard.

I made the hair by first making an ellipse around the top of his head. I then edited it's shape with the freeform tool. I gave it a brown fill with a sand pattern of 15%.The eyebrows were made with the pencil tool. The ears were ellipses that I reshaped and then I put a series of line on top. The nose is a polygon lasso bitmap with a gradient effect. The lips were an edited ellipse with a curved line on top. The head is a reshaped ellipse.

Logo Redesign

On the left were 4 logos made by Bioware that I used for inspiration for my redesign. The background was a grey rectangle. The words I traced using the magic wand tool on the other logos. The  "a division of EA" was made using a text box with an AR DARLING font waith a size of 65

Eagle Pointillism

This is my eagle pointillism. I started out with a color picture of an eagle and converted it to greyscale. I then selected greyscale colors and used them with a paint brush ranging in tip sizes from 1-10. I then selected the background with the polygon lasso tool and deleted the background.

Swan Business Cards

This is my basic swan card. I first started out making a 300x200 canvas and gave it a green hue. Then, I 

typed the information into a text box in Franklin Gothic Demi text size 30 and 10. Lastly, I imported  the swan and gave it a fill of red with an outer bevel.

 This is my mid-level swan card. The canvas had the same size with a red hue. The text was the same font with a size of 20. The swan had a fill of black with a fiber pattern of 50%.

 This is my professional swan card. The canvas was the same size with a brown hue. The text was Basker Old Face font with a white hue and a size of 20. The swan has a black fill.

Colorwheel Pointilism

In all of these colorwheels, I selected the color from the existing colorwheels and drew with it. To make these I used the paint brush tool and selected the tip size based on the number in the corner. The yellow section was the top layer, with the layers going down until the light green, which was the last layer.

Film Strip

To begin I did a google search to find this picture. Next, I created 4 rectangles approximatly 1/4 the size of the full picture. Then, I divided the original picture into that same size with the marquee tool. I then copied and pasted inside the corresponding rectangle. After that I rotated most of the rectangles with the scale tool and fit them together to look like the original image. Lastly, I gave each rectangle a stroke with a pattern.

Butterfly Image



This is my butterfly image. The "frame" was made by making 2 rectangles and applying a bevel. My signature was  made using the text box tool and changing the font. I also gave it silver stroke. Next, I drew the mountains with the polygon lasso tool. The stem of the flower is a green line 3 leaves that are scaled copies of an original. The petals were with the polygon lasso tool and copied and rotated. The head is a brown filled ellipse with a grid pattern. The sun is an ellipse with a linear gradient effect. There is a larger ellipse be hind it with a ellipse gradient effect. The butterflies wings were made with the polygon lasso tool and have a slight gradient effect. On top of that there is black lines and white ellipses. The body is an ellipse edited with the freeform and reshape area tool. It also has white ellipses and brown lines. Lastly, the attenae are black lines I changed with the freeform tool.





Emotions

                                                                        Anxiety
     The canvas is yellow, while all of the lines are simply different colors of the pencil tool.
     This represents anxiety because the lines are a jumbled mess all over the place, like one's thoughts while anxious.

                                                                         Apathy
        I made this by making a black ellipse and centering it to the canvas. Then I made a blue rectangle and gave it a swish pattern of 50%. Around the ellipse I made a doughnut shape with the same pattern with a slightly darker blue.
        This represents apathy because the object in the center appears oblivious to what is happening around it.

                                                                         Sadness
       First I created a blue rectangle around my canvas. I then applied a folds gradient effect and moved it down into the bottom right corner.
       This symbolizes sadness because of the blue color and how it is going downward, like how when people are sad they are sometimes called "blue" or "down".

                                                                         Hope
      For this one I simply created a rectangle and applied a linear effect to it. I then added the 7 colors of the rainbow and spaced them out evenly.
      This represents hope because no matter how bad the rain is, there will always be an ending, signalled by a rainbow.

                                                                         Surprise
       On this image I created a blue rectangle around my canvas. I made another rectangle on the layer above that and gave it a Line-Vert 1 of 50%. Lastly I skewed the bottom towards the center.
 This represents surprise because the lighter section starts out small and quickly opens up, like a person's alertness when they get surprised.

Eye

This is my eye. The eyebrows were made using the pencil tool. The skin behind the eye was made using the ellipse tool and applying a gradient effect. The eyelashes are all rotated copies made with the line tool and edited with the free-form tool. The vitreous body (white area) was a white filled ellipse I reshaped with the marquee, free-form, and reshape area tools. The Iris (colored area) was a ellipse with a brown fill and a Line-Vert pattern of 15%. The pupil is a black ellipse with 2 white ellipses for a shine effect.

Spot Color

Landscape

This was the orignal image. When all but the planet and the road was converted to greyscale, the picture becomes...

The planet was all selected  with the magic wand tool with a tolerence of 30. The road was selected with the oval and rectangle marquee tools. I then selected the inverse and converted it to greyscale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunflower

This is my original sunflower field. I converted all but the largest sunflower to sepia tone to create...

I created this by selecting the head and the petals with the magic wand tool with a tolerance of 30. I then used the polygon lasso tool to select the stem and leaves. I then selected the inverse and converted the rest to sepia tone.

Rain/Tree

 This was created by selecting most of the tree with the polygon lasso tool. I then deselcted (by holding ALT) most of the background from the selection area and converted it to sepia tone.

Text Paths

To start out I made my canvas black and used the text tool to write out my name. I then converted the text to paths and ungrouped them. Then, for each letter I selected 8 different letters and copied one picture into each letter. Lastly, I trimmed the canvas around my text.

Custom Font

To start out I made a text box and typed in my name. Then I converted that text to paths, and then ungrouped them. Then with the subselect tool I grabbed the vertices and changed them to create my own custom font. Then, with the paint bucket tool, I gave each letter it's own seperate color. I then changed the canvas color and trimmed the canvas to fit around my text.
