Sparkle Project



This project that I did is known as a sparkle project. It is done with Photoshop. The idea was to take a picture of ourselves on a green screen and add cool effects to it. I did not like how my green screen picture came out, so I used one I took of a skateboarder. It took me about three days to do, but it is worth it. The reason for two pictures is because I could not decide on which glow I like better on his board. I posted both and now my "fans"(Mom and Dad) can decide. One picture took me about nine layers to do. To add the flash on the board I simply flattened the image, made duplicates, and put a different flash on each board. This was a fun project and I liked the way this turned out.

Logo Ball

This is a duck

Flowers

These are some flowers I made. I used the pucker & bloat tool, gradient maps, and various shapes. I liked the way these turned out.

Cinemagraphs

These are two cinemagraphs I have done. The top is a total of 43 frames, and the bottom one is 8. The top one I was inspired by a flip book, where you flip the pages really fast and it creates a moving image. The bottom one was done because he won an "award" for the yearbook called "Biggest Hand Talker." The picture in the yearbook is all of the arms still, but I thought it would be cool to make them all move. Essentially, his hands are moving so fast that his head doesn't move and he is saying one word. I really liked this project and will want to do more in the future.

Mouse Overload

Here is a magazine cover I did. This is the previously posted picture of Taylor Swift. I have always thought she looked like a mouse so I turned her into Mickey Mouse. The magazine has stories in it all pertaining to mice. I liked this project a lot. I also learned how to download different fonts.

Camera War

Taylor Mouse

For this project we had to take a cartoon character and put it with a celebrity. I did Taylor Swift like Mickey Mouse because I always thought she looked like a mouse. It does look a little rough, but I think it gets the point across.

iPads

My class and I went to the library to work on some apps on iPads. This one you see here is the sculpting app 123D Art. We played around with miscellaneous shapes and tools on the app. I don't know what this one is, but it looks like a ball with limbs and a face. 

Fish

This is the fish that I made. It was done with stop-frame animation. It was my first ever attempt; I liked it a lot.

Touching up and Editing

This is a retouching picture we did. Basically what we did was remove blemishes and freckles from her face. After some blurring and erasing on new layers, we flattened the image and made everything one layer. Overall, it was a basic yet important exercise

Our teacher gave us a picture that had directions around it, like the one posted on top. The directions told us what to do and how to edit it. As we completed each step, we would have to delete the directions around them. My edits are the ones on the bottom. This was a fun one.

Kool-Aid man

This is one of the best stop motion videos to ever set foot on earth. We did the Kool-Aid guy because Kool-Aid is oh so good. We tried to make him look like he's walking. I will let you be the judge of how well we did.

40 in all

For this next project we had to pick 20 inanimate objects and 20 objects. My inamimate ones are jello, fire, trees, wire, camera, paper, afro, char, pencil, CD, stereo, scissors, car, truck, building, paintbrush, book/pages, shoe(s), airplane, and fruit.
My animate ones are fish, plant, human, the head of something, dog, flower, tree, cat, animal, unicorn, someone singing, duck, a musician, a horse, a shark, cuberus, medusa bird.
We have to pick one thing from the animate object list and one from the inanamite object list and pair them up, showing irony, juxtaposition, etc.
I have picked a human and a tree. I was inspired by a mask/gloves that my favorite drummer wore. I really like how it turned out. The reason for the birds was I thought it gave a certain mood to the picture. The swing was the very last thing I put in and I was afraid that it would be too much. The birds and the swinger were not in my original idea.

Duckraffeon

This is what you get when you mix a duck, giraffe, and a chameleon. This took a while to do, as I had to make it look like one uniform animal. I had to make the chameleon tail not show any edges to where it contacts. I had to do two patches of giraffe skin on the duck. It was a fun and interesting project.

Rhino Pollock

This was a quick project, but a fun one. Mr. Sands put a Jackson Pollock picture on an elephant trunk. I chose to do a rhino just because I think rhinos are cool. I made two layers, one being the rhino and the other the painting. I just dragged the painting onto the rhino, and played around with the transform tool and the opacity and fit the picture over the closest rhino. Then I used the warped tool and moved the corners around the rhino. There were parts of the painting hanging off the rhino, so I lowered the opacity and erased the edges. This is the final product.

A Haunted House, Shaggy, and Me

The assignment for this was to take a picture of ourselves, a cartoon character, and a background, and put them into the same picture. I cut out shaggy and placed him on. I cut out myself and then dragged my head on to my hand. After making new layers and doing gaussian blur and a gradient map I made shadows. Pretty cool project.

Frog Tongue

For this, we took a frog (or animal of your choosing) and this girl with her tongue out. Without giving too much away, we cut out the frog, placed it over the tongue, and used clone stamp tool to copy the tongue color to the frog. I like how this turned out.

Angry Pancakes

This was the first art project we did in computer art. We took pancakes and seperated them, then put fish teeth inside. We cropped out the fish out, lowered the opacity so we could see where to place the mouth. After placing we raised the opacity. This is what came out of that hard work.
