Self Portrait / Propaganda Poster Project

 Poster: 

I wanted my poster to be about women's rights in society. Women are often silenced and made to feel like their voices and opinions matter less, and I wanted to make my project say something about that. I think it's important for everyone to be able to speak their minds, and society should stop making minorities out to feel like less than they are. 


Inspiration: 

I liked the color scheme of this poster because I thought they worked well together despite there only being a few different colors. I tried to copy these colors as best as I could, and I think they turned out well. 

Selfie: 

This was my original selfie. I made this face because I wanted it to look like I was afraid once I drew in the hand covering my mouth. 

Self Portrait: 
This is what my self portrait looked like before I changed the colors and added the hand for my poster. I think the gradients looked really good, especially since I had never used it before.

Somewhere Project

I wanted to put myself into a superhero show, because I love this genre and think it's fun to imagine myself with superpowers. I put myself into a scene from The Defenders, because there was a gap in this elevator scene that I thought I would fit nicely into. This was one of my favorite projects to work on, because I got to put myself into a different world and I think it turned out really well. The hardest part for me was blending the edges of my picture into the background image, because the tools weren't working exactly how I wanted them to. Overall, I had a good time working on the Somewhere project and would definitely try something like this again.

The Internet!

      The internet is potentially the most useful piece of technology available today. However, it was not always around for people to be able to learn the answer to any question in a heartbeat. On the first day of 1983, the internet as we know it today was created by Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn. It was originally designed as a secret way of communication between scientists during the Cold War, and as time went on, engineers realized how great of a tool it could be if available to everyone in the public. The internet now is used for quick and easy research, communication across the world, and entertainment.       The World Wide Web is the collection of all webpages accessible by the public. Known more commonly as the Web, it was created in 1989 by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee. It was originally used as a system for managing and organizing documents. Over time, people realized it could be used for much more, as there are now websites for things such as public forums, media entertainme

Portfolio

For my final portfolio, I wanted to do something nature related. I've tried incorporating nature into almost all of my projects, and I wanted this one to do the same. I chose a sky theme, because I could add flying birds, which are my favorite animals. I put the projects in timeline order from this year, because I think going in order shows my progress the best. My first project wasn't the best, but once I got to the end, you can see how much I improved. I had a fun time doing the portfolio because I got to really see all my work together, and think about how much I've done in only one semester.
