Color Theory Self Portrait.

8/30/13 - Well, I really need to do a little work on my cropping skills, and choose easier to crop photos, because Jin Gitaxias, the creepy dude on the bottom of my page was really tough to do. I like the blue. It only fades into black because when it was plain blue it made Jin look really weird in terms of lighting. The blue represents my constant seeking of knowledge, my intelect, and therefore my weird nerdiness... The symbols that look like the Greek letter "Phi" are the symbol of the Phyrexians, the bad guys Magic: the Gathering, some cards of which are also to the top of the page. The running shoe represents my love of running, as I am a member of cross country. The blue represents my constant seeking of knowledge, my intelect, and therefore my weird nerdiness...

Animals, Initials, Masking, & Textures

8/28/13 - Alright! Assignment 1 complete! I really don't know how I came up with what I did. It really didn't take anything other than me playing around, dragging the letters into weird combinations. I just kept the "K" as it was and dragged the "M" around and messed with it until I turned it approximately 90 degrees sideways, and matched up its two "legs" with the two "legs" of the "K." I had to use a few tools. I used the brush tool to create sparkle affects, and bubbles from the fish. I also moved things around with the default mouse tool. I can't wait to be able to make things like forum avatars and banners with Photoshop!
