Info-graphics

       I am very new to info-graphics. but through what i see all around they are a very key and powerful way of propaganda. and some of them look really cool and are really interesting. i enjoyed making mine even though they are okay it was still a project i thoroughly enjoyed. i started off with creating 9 sketches. and narrowed down three of them, one for each category. my main focus was the just imaged based category with all vectored images and no words.

 this is my all picture no words infographic that can easily explain how to tie a tie but yet to me it is still missing that pizazz a lot of other goo infographics have. then i hand drew another one the main focal point is in the center strip. all of the bubbles flow down the strip. the tie has the point going down. it is shaded all around to get the attention in the center and it has a simple title up top which is my only problem.

after that one i used a real image of someone with a tie on. and had each step explained word by word. this is easily my worst one that i made and i am taking the criticism i received during a critic and will change some of the stuff

it needs a lot more pizazz. so infographics are huge in the graphic design world for companies and big business. it was defiantly a fun project and i will continue to work on that field in my travels.

Painting in Photoshop

 I absolutely loved this whole assignment. we started out creating a custom paint brush which is the first thing that gives a paint effect. then we would mess with the settings of the brush to change it from dry to wet, to hard mix, or light mix. which gave the the simple paint brush look and act like a real paint brush.

Now the first painting i did ( the one above) is not the best. but it is suppose to be a light house. but the concept was fun and scince it did not turn out verry well i made a really cool sunset

this one looks a lot like its picture. and both these painting had an original image underneath it. and then i painted on top of it. but the next painting (below) is one that i made totally on my own and without an original image, granted it doesn't look the best still.

but throughout the entire process and and experience i totally loved it and it was defiantly something completely new to me.
