Photoshop Smoothing Face Project

On this project we had to do portraits of a student in our class. I chose to use Ericka for this photo-shoot because I had been looking forward to working with her and had not had the pleasure of working with her. This project was composed of taking a portrait picture and smoothing out the texture of her skin. It was a fairly simple project and I enjoyed doing it. My favorite part of the project was the photoshopping because I had not used it too much. I look forward to doing another project like this in the near future. 

Elements and Principles of Design

 In this assignment I covered the elements and principles of design. The first thing I did was do some research on both the elements and principles of design to see which one suited me better. I decided to do the elements of design instead because the idea of lines and texture and space caught my attention more. I used a picture of ducks that I took at balboa park to show texture because you can see the contrast of texture between the ducks and the water which I thought looked pretty obvious. I used the the picture of spray paint because it has a lot of color in the picture it shows many different types of colors al in one scattered spot which I liked a lot. For line and space I used a picture that I took at La Jolla beach. I think that this picture shows line because of the light coming through the clouds which I think gives it a sense of divinity. This picture also shows space because of the open area given off by the sky and the ocean.
