Toys For Tots



  1. For this project we were asked to create a poster for Toys For Tots. We had to include a Christmas theme, toys and a marine out fit. We also had to include a description of who, what and when the Toys For Tots were due.
  2. My favorite part of this project was getting all the toys together and finding different things to include in the picture. I like my elves idea and I like how everything was laid out!
  3. I would have done a couple of things different in this project, mostly I would have put the elves more hidden under neath the presents. Another thing I would have changed is my writing, I could have made my words stick out more.
  4. I learned how to make a poster out of a different variety of different images. I have learned how magazines put two different people together when they were not really together. Its kind of cool, if you ask me.


Cartoon



  1. For this project we were asked to create a cartoon from Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Our cartoon could be anything as long as we used the correct way to make a shape. In Photoshop we were asked to put color to the cartoon and create highlights and shading to make it look 3D.

  2. My favorite part of this project was when it was done. I had a hard time with this project and I could not make up my mind about what I wanted to do. I also had a hard time making shapes, but I finally got the hang of it and pulled something together.

  3. I would have done a lot of things different, I would have put a lot more detail and a better idea for the cartoon. I would have not been so angry at this project, but I got to the point I just wanted to be done with it.

  4. I learned how to create shapes in Illustrator and how to make a cartoon in 3D. Also I learned how to do shadings and highlights.

My photo


  1. In this project we were asked to take our picture and add a background as if we were in the picture. We had to add filters and play around with the things we have learned, also include a shading to make it look 3D.
  2. My favorite part of this project was that fact it was something I was interested in. It was not something I was forced to create. I enjoyed the fact that I was putting my face on someone else body. I loved the way it turned out!
  3. If I would have done something different I would have picked a easier picture to work with. Even though it was a fun project, it was also very difficult. All in all I would have not changed anything.
  4. I learned a lot with this project, I learned how take my self out of a picture and apply it to another picture. I learned how to apply lightening filters, play around with different effects, layers and colors.

Collage 1980s



  1. For this project we were asked to create a collage of a certain year. We had to include everything from hair styles to popular TV shows. We were asked to blend pictures together, use filters, layer mask and the gradient tool to make the collage look real and exciting.
  2. My favorite part of this project was exploring all the different types of things that went on in the 1980s. It was fun looking at the hair styles and what was popular back in the day. I really enjoyed putting the pictures together in the collage.
  3. I don't know what I would have done differently in this project, I did not have many trouble finding pictures or putting them together. I thought I did really good on this project!
  4. I really enjoyed this project and I learned a lot. I learned how to blend pictures together and use different tools. I learned what was popular and the different types of styles that was in the 1980s that I didn't know before!

Story



  1. In this project we were asked to create a story that could be about anything we wanted. But the story had to have five slides long. We had to create a border around the picture to give it a 3D effect.
  2. My favorite part of this project was that I got to create my own story and I could use my own pictures. I really enjoyed the way it turned out!
  3. One thing I would have changed is how pixelly my pictures turned out. I did not know at the time how to turn down the resoution. But other than that I would have not changed anything!
  4. I learned how to put my own pictures in a 3D slide and so now I can do it on my own. I also learned how to use differnt effects to create the slide!

Business Cards


1.We were told to create eight different business cards, that had the same text and we had to use different colors!

2.My favorite part of the business cards was the independence to be creative and explore. I really liked how the different tools we got to use and was very fascinated how good they turned out!

3. I would have done a couple of things different in my business cards. I would have not made them as colorful and i would not have them so clustered.

4. I learned that in making a business card, they cant be really colorful and the text has to be bright and easy to see. I learned the less busy the business card the better!
