This final project we got together to do another radio show. It has been great working with Rex (Patrick) and Mack (Sharla).  We wanted something funny for the final. So we did a silly radio show.

My character’s ideal pet. Think of the deal people that your character would like. Combine several animals together to make it an unusual type of animal. Put it in it’s natural habitat.

The first daily create idea is to put yourself into a noir screen shot. Post. The second is hidden treasures behind a wall. Post.

This daily create idea is to find the hidden treasure behind a wall. This is just taking two pictures and using the erase tool in photoshop to erase part of top picture to show pieces of the bottom layer coming through. I layered the brick wall on top  of the waterfall.

This assignment goes along with the characters. Make the ideal work space for your character. Fill it with different things that the character would like. This is a library/office for me. It is filled with books as well as calming murals for the walls.

For a daily create idea, I thought about “Noir in the shot”. Take a screen shot of a noir film and put yourself in it.
