Self-portrait in Color Blogger


This is the self portrait in color. I decided to make a piranha plant from Super Mario. The image below this was my inspiration for my work:
I didn't want to just copy it completely. So, I decided to put my actual portrait instead of the piranha at the top and bottom right where the pipes are. I decided that as a final touch I would also put a question block from Super Mario. I thought it was a nice touch since there was a bunch of space above the three pipes with my portrait. 

After the review, I made some changes to the self-portrait and now it looks like this: 
I decided to make the background sky blue because to me it fits with the overall theme of the portrait in color. I added two bricks on the side of the question block because in the Super Mario games you can find two bricks and a question block in the middle in that order. I added coins because they can be found in that order as well. Finally, I added a star on the top of the middle pipe because the star is the best in the games. Despite the issues that I had making the self-portrait in grayscale, I still enjoyed doing it and would do it again. I did not struggle as much for the self-portrait in color. So, I also enjoyed doing it and would also do the self-portrait in color again.

    Very Nice John I like how creative you were but one tip I would say is to maybe think of a better color for design well I'm not sure which but I think it would look better. Very nice either way liked the design,keep it up.

    what i think you sure improve or can do better is that you can make the background better because theres bricks on the picture but on johns background there isn't bricks so if he have added the brick the background were be better, i still like the background because its very creative to do something in a a video game, i would of never though of this.

    Omg I love this so much, I love the background it is really creative and I love the colors you chose. However I think you could have added a little more detail to the background like you could have added the bricks you can see in the original picture. But it looks fine without it but it would have been more amazing.

    I like the way you turned your portrait into a piranha plant as that is very creative. I also liked the colors used as it is able to highlight yourself and make you stand out.

Robot Final

 This is my Robot Final Blogger.  Here is the image of my robot draft: Most of the process of creating this robot wasn't too difficult. I just had to find images online and put them together to make a cool robot. The most difficult part in the creation of this robot was definitely the display on the screen. I had to look for an image of a display on a flat screen tv,  replace the person with my robot, shrink it and make it fit on screen on the old tv. Despite this, it was fun to do this part of the robot project.  This is the image of my robot final:  This part of the project was definitely more difficult compared to creating the draft. I originally wanted to put this root in an underwater cave, but I realized that a laboratory is also a perfectly good setting for my robot. The most difficult part of the project by far was creating a shadow for the robot. The method you showed was in class to create a shadow works, but it is tedious way to do it.  Instead, ...
