The Boondocks

I chose the characters from the cartoon show "The Boondocks" because I love that show, and I've been meaning to do an assignment using images from that show. Now I finally got to, and I really like the way it turned out.

Final

This is assignment 11, where I used 3 different technichues from previous assignments combined into 1 assignment. I used the Roy Lichtenstein's comic book look with the Ben-day dots, I used the metal technique for my word, and the cut paper montage.

Wonder Woman

This is the original picture from assignment 10. I chose wonder woman because sense this is a comic book theme, I should pick a comic book character, and I knew I wanted a female comic book character, so I chose wonder woman, also because the picture was simple to do, and it had simple colors. Overall, I think it was my best work.

Roy Lichtenstein

This is assignment 10, influenced by Roy Lichtenstein's use of Ben-day dots in his paintings for comic books. By using edit-stroke, I outlined my image 5 pixels wide in black, then used the pen tool to draw other details of the image, and then the brush tool to color in the image. To make the dots, I selected a grey swatch, went to filters-pixelate-color half-tone and changed the angles to 45, changed blending mode to multiply, and then create clipping masks. After that, I colored the background, drew other things with the pen tool, and then typed a word with the type tool to give it that comic book look.

Gymnast

I chose a picture of a gymnast for assignment 8 because I wanted an image that was simple, had color, and would look clear once I've done all the techniques.

Georges Seurat

This is the second part of assignment 8 from week 7. This assignment is influenced by Georges Seurat's paintings. By simply going to filter-pixelate-pointillize, filter-blur-gaussian, choosing a low radius, filter-artistic-sponge, choosing blending mode-hard light, and then image-adjust-curves, I was able to make my image look similar to the artist's paintings. This was the easiest assignment.

Glass Filter

This is assignment 8, where I used the type tool, then the gaussian blur, changed the words radius, clicked filter-distort-glass, loaded texture, and then modified the smoothness and distortion. I typed "wow" to place it in the second assignment of week 7, but it didn't work. This was the hardest assignment, but I still got the word to look like glass.
