Scluptris object C:






Ignore that on the side! D:
I was listening to songs on youtube when I took these screen shots

Graphic Design Final


This is my final, which was done in photoshop C:


Now I need to answer some questions for it :I


  • What success does this image represent?
    • That I want to write stories someday, writing graphic novels as a hobby.
    • I have a few fail stories on my deviantART gallery, and I'm hopping to actually get some more done this summer. Hopefully...
  • How well do you think you communicated this visually?
    • Maybe... not as well as I'd hoped. The issue might be the lighting, but this is kind of what my desk looks like after I do a tone of planning and such; papers everywhere, supplies out of whack, and a single stack of finished work, etc..
  • What could you have done better?
    • I think I could have done better with the lighting and such. I actually just realized that I could have used the shape tool for the effects of the blinds rather than just drawing them in with the mouse. It would have looked much cleaner...
    • I also wonder about the effect given by the text bubbles and whether it was a good idea to put those in or not. I honestly don't feel that they were needed, but I needed to fill the space in with something...
  • What was well done about your image?
    • In spite of what I said about the blinds and the lighting, I really like the way they came out, so that was a plus. I also like the desk. I couldn't find the top of a desk on the internet, so I had to make my own using the perspective transformation tool and the line tools as well.
    • Actually, My favorite part is the little ink well XD  I love the little thing lol
  • What grade would you give yourself?
    • 100%!
    • No, just kidding. I dunno, somewhere between 70-85%? I'm not that good at grading, and I'm not sure what criterion I'm supposed to be using.
    • As far as I know, I stuck to a general color scheme using analogous colors and their desaturations, and I think I made a focal point out of the book because of it's size, but then I could also argue that the text bubbles are more of a focal point because of how strong the contrast is in that area.

  • What was your favorite project for the entire class?
    • My favorite piece? I think might be this one and the self portrait we did at the beginning. I enjoy using photoshop, and I like using it's effects when painting. It's my favorite program out of the entire Adobe franchise. Plus I know how to use it as opposed to the other programs there...
    • I also like the sculptris thing, because that was rather simple to use.
  • What was your least favorite?
    • I didn't really like messing with illustrator, so it wasn't exactly my cup of tea. The frustration with trying to learn it and actually use it was a bit much. when I wanted to paint I couldn't, when I wanted to draw I didn't know how, and just... it was awfully mentally taxing for me.



And that it C:

Text art things

Not my best work I'd admit, but I got it done C:
It wasn't very easy, and took way too long... but this is my first time making any kind of text art C:
So I'm at least happy with how the strawberry came out.
This one is a Crepe... well, Supposed to be a Crepe anyway.




This one is mah strawberry C:
I like how this one came out... even if it seems a little off...
