Edward Gorey Asssignment

-

For this assignment, I had to create my own addition to Edward Gorey's "Ghastlycrumb Tinies". I found Gorey's alphabet book of children's deaths to be funny, yet disturbing. The concept of the project was funny, but I didn't like doing it because the result had to be creepy, and I don't like that. If you look closely, you can see a book following my fall off the cliff. This is because I would have fallen off the cliff because I was reading and walked right off. To create this project, I used the cookie cutter tool in Photoshop Elements and made the tree, the birds, the person's hair, and the banner.

Zombify Yourself

For this project, I had to use Photoshop CS5 to make a picture of myself look like a zombie. I used a picture of cracked dirt to add texture to my face, and then I used rust spots to look like gaping holes. After adjusting the colors and opacity, I used a paintbrush on low opacity to make my eyes look milky and creepy. This was really fun to do, and easy, too!

Repetition Used in a Creative Way

In this project, I had to find and image and use repetition to create a pleasing design. I started out with a simple image of a sunflower and its stem, and then I separately repeated the stem and the flower to make the sunflower into a cool, multi-layered flower with stems coming out of it from all sides. To finish it off, I repeated the sunflower around the sides to frame the center flower. This project was entertaining because it was really easy but allowed a lot of room for creativity.

Cartoon Scene

For the Cartoon Scene assignment, I had to color and shade a cartoon scene. I found the kitchen in the background as well as the person in the "Romance" folder for some reason, and then I found line art of lightbulbs and a vase of flowers from online to add to the kitchen. I painted the sunset scene outside the window and then added it in behind the kitchen layer.
