Day 6: Literal Interpretations: "Country Crock Butterfly"

I thought this would be a fun project to do because there were seriously ENDLESS possibilities that I could have done! At first, I was going to do a "starfish" but in the end, decided on doing a "butterfly" and I think this turned out way better than the "starfish" idea! I love how this turned out. It's funny, bright, and colorful! some of my favorite things! :) And let's face it, everybody knows "Country Crock" is the best kind of butter out there! :)

Day 5: Interactive Self Portrait with a Cartoon: Tangled Interaction

I am not quite sure where I thought of this. But I love this movie and Pascal or the little chameleon is super cute so it inspired me to do something involving "Tangled". :)

Day 4: Inanimate Object Brought to Life: Starbucks Coffee

This is my animated Starbucks Coffee. It's nothing super special, however I am absolutely addicted to Starbucks and it would be just THAT much cooler if it could talk to me. :)

Day 2: Comical Movie Poster Parody: "Scared"

This movie poster is a parody to the popular children's movie "Brave". I changed the title to "Scared" and found a frightened picture of the movie character. This project didn't take very long and I feel I could have done better but I have ten more days to make some really awesome projects so fingers crossed they turn out! :)

Day 1: Brand Identity Swap: "Limited Edition Late Night Snack Ben & Jerry's Shampoo"

I'm not going to write much for this post besides that what inspired me to choose these two brands to swap was my love for good smelling things and ice cream. LOL! I LOVE Ben & Jerry's Late Night Snack ice cream and I can't help but to think Herbal Essence Shampoo smells amazing! :) They also have pretty containers! :) Overall, I am happy with my finished product!

Fantasy World

      If I could live any place in the world it would look something like this. Although it may not be super creative like Megan's "Sparkle Word" and Abi's "50s Themed World", if I had to form the most perfect place to live in my head it would look like this. I LOVE the country. Wide open spaces, lots of pretty colors, and rolling hills. Therefore, I chose a background layer in this project that had all those three qualities. Next, I added a lot of huge, luxurious houses to the picture because in my perfect world, there are no small homes, only top-notch homes! Finally, I added a few barns and farm animals. This is because I have a soft spot in my heart for animals and the farm lifestyle.
     All together, I am not exactly sure how much I like this project. I think I could have done better but I still don't know how to work some features in Photoshop. I like it though for the simple fact that it represents the kind of things I like and who I am. Next time, I would try and figure out how to make the layers on my backdrop not as vibrant in color to make them blend in a little more. If I knew how to do that, I would have liked the ending product much more of this project.

Photoshop Animal Creation: The "Cowmadillo"

For this project, we were told to pick an animal and choose other qualities from different animals to photoshop onto the original image. I feel this project was successful, however, I wish I would have chosen an easier animal to work with rather than an armadillo. This was probably the most difficult part of this project because no many things match the image I chose, for example, prior to using the steer's head on the armadillo's body, I tried a chimpanzee's head. It didn't blend very well and looked very strange and unproportional. After deciding to go with the steer's head, I felt the armadillo was too bland still and needed a little something else, therefore, I added the scorpion tail. This is another problem I ran into because I was struggling to find other elements to add to my picture due to the awkward animal and position of the animal I chose. Next time, if I was to do a project like this, I would choose a more common, larger animal and find unique animals to incorporate in my original animal. Overall though, I like the results from this project and think I invited a very unique creature!
