    Splash the Color

    by
    For this assignment our instructions were to remove all the color from a photo and then restore the color to one object. I decided to use a photo of me in front of a vibrant yellow door because I thought the pop of color from the door would make the contrast more visible. I used photo shop to first lay down a full color image of the photo. I then went in a laid a black and white image perfectly on top of it. I was then able to cut out the door part of the black and white image […]

    Hybird Animal

    by
    For this assignment we were instructed to combine two different animals to make some sort of hybrid animal. I decided to go with a cat and a dog. I felt like each of these animals had qualities I liked so why not combine them and make the perfect pet! The name of this animal would be “Cog” (a combo of “dog” and “cat”). They would be super high energy and love being outside. They love being played with but also can cuddle up with you and sleep. They are independent when they need to be but also rely on you. […]

    Popstar Out of Place

    by
    For this assignment we had to take a picture of a pop star and put them into a location where you wouldn’t usually find them. I decided to stick with our 80s theme and use Freddy Mercury from Queen as my pop star. I then decided to put him at the bottom of the ocean. I had a lot of fun with this assignment because I felt like I had a lot of creative freedom. Plus, I got to use photoshop, which I love. I’m sure the fishes enjoyed the underwater performance! PS: This was a 3.5 star assignment..5 stars […]

    The Forest Gump Photo

    by
    I love using photoshop, and especially when it involves photoshopping myself into photos so I was excited for this assignment. When I was looking for a picuture to photoshop myslef I found two I really liked so I decided to use both. The first one was a picture of President Kennedy with his wife. I chose this one because it was an older photo and I wanted to challenge myself to be able to edit my picture to match the old photo. To achieve this I put a black and white filter on the photo and then increased the “grain” […]

    Emotional Lyrics

    by
    For this assignment, we had to choose an emotion and then choose 3 songs that fit to that emotion and explain why. I decided to choose the emotion “happy”. I decided to only choose songs that came out in the 80s to relate it to our theme. Here are the songs I chose! Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham!–I chose this song because it is my go-to dance song and dancing is one of my favorite things to do. When I was younger, my best friend and I made up a choreographed dance for this song so this […]

    Haiku About The Breakfast Club

    by
    For this assignment we had to come up with a haiku about a movie we’ve watched for this class. I chose to write one about The Breakfast Club because it’s a great representation of the 80s. Plus it’s one of my favorite movies. Five kids in trouble Detention on Saturday All friends in the end I focused on the fact that the main characters were all in Saturday detention and even though they were all very different, by the end of the day, they all became friends. I hope you enjoyed my haiku! PS: This was a 1-star assignment..2.5-stars to […]

    Letter to My Mom

    by
    Dear Mama, Thank you for the countless hours you spend doing everything from making my lunch to making sure you’re there when I need a shoulder to cry on. You have always been my number one supporter throughout everything I do in life. You love me unconditionally, even when I am being the absolute worst. There is nothing I could do to repay you for all you’ve done for me. I’m sure having a child with Type 1 diabetes was not in your plan but you sure as hell have raised me to be the best version of myself, despite […]

    My Bucket List

    by
    I remember when I was younger, my best friend, Kay, and I would constantly be coming up with bucket lists for us to complete. I actually still have a few of the ones we made tucked away somewhere at my parents house. Kay and I would spend all of our free time checking items off our list until we completed the list and had to start a new one. I chose this assignment because I thought it would be fun to reminisce on my childhood and also to come up with a new list for me to try and accomplish […]

    Create a Silly Movie Poster

    by
    For the Visual Assignment, I chose the “Make a Silly Movie Poster” assignment. The assignment details stated to take an existing poster and make it look silly. The 80s were a little silly to begin with, so I thought this assignment would be perfect. I google searched “80s movie posters” and the Lost Boys poster … Continue reading "Create a Silly Movie Poster"

    Animals Doing Funny Things

    by
    For my last assignment from the assignment bank this week I chose an AnimatedGIF assignment. I chose to make a gif of an animal doing something funny. I knew right off the bat I wanted to make a gif with a dog in it because dogs are my favorite animals. In order to create my gif, I first had to find a video I wanted to use so I looked on YouTube at a bunch of different dog videos until I found one I liked the most. Then I uploaded it to Giphy and it did the rest of the […]

    Contradiction Creation

    by
    For my next assignment bank for this week, I chose to do one from the design assignments. I chose one where I had to find an inspirational background and then put an anti-motivational quote on top of it. I chose this one because honestly, I thought it was super funny. I picked a 80s themed background (to keep with the 80s theme of the class) and then chose a quote that I laughed at the most. I hope you are un-motived after reading this post 🙂

    Concert You Want to Be At

    by
    For this assignment bank, I chose to do one of the visual assignments. The instructions for this challenge was to photoshop yourself into a concert you’ve always wanted to attend. I chose to “attend” an Elton John concert. Not only do I really enjoy his music, he also went on his “1980 World Tour” in the 80s which matches our theme for the class. Although the picture I used to photoshop myself in was not from that particular tour, I still thought it was fitting. I really enjoy using photoshop so I really enjoyed this challenge. I am definitely a […]

    This face swap is absolutely horrendous! My apologies! BEHOLD! Look at me (I am on the left), with my mom’s beautiful face! And then there’s my poor mom who gets my extremely interesting face! LOL! I honestly love this photo because it makes me wonder if I will inherit some of my mom’s facial characteristics! …
