When this project was assigned I immediately thought of creating a piece which represented where I am from and the type of life I live. A beach scene was the first idea that came to mind, and I thought what better way to depict my life than being on the beach, with some drinks and a football.

For this project I used many various tools in photoshop such as the eraser tool, lasso tool, burn tool and type tool. The hardest part of this piece was removing the objects from their background. Usually I would use the magic eraser tool, but not one image had a completely white background, which made this tool . However, I managed to push through it and was able to create an image which I believe depicts my lifestyle.

Brush assignment

For this photoshop assignment i decided to create a casual dining room setting. I started by laying down the background, which comprised of a wooden floor followed by a grainy white background to represent a painted wall. The table came next, follower by a shadow to give the image some real life effects. I then created a pick-nick themed pattern and laid it over the table to represent the dining room table, table cloth.

The wooden shelves to the rare of the image were my brush presets which I made from an image off the internet. I then added some miscellaneous  items to give the dining room image a more home like effect.

NIKE Soccer

Adobe Illustrator has been a very interesting and enjoyable way to create images which have meaning to us. For this assignment I decided to create very popular soccer boot as my main piece. I have been playing soccer, for fun from a very young age and have also competed for a club and my high school. Soccer is an outlet for me to simply relieve stress and also have some fun with my friends. I chose to create this particular boot as it has a very sleek design and modern finish to it.

Sketching out the initial image was probably the easiest part of this assignment for me. The trouble arose when it came time to use the gradient mesh tool as this image was a very intricate and detailed piece. However, I was able to pull though and produce a final product which I can proudly say is mine and share on my blog.
