Picasso Painting in PS


I believe that this was one of the most frustrating projects that I have ever done for this class, which is concerning because I just started my Photoshop journey. I am able to do my project at home on my personal computer and my work in class. However, when I try to save my work either on the cloud or as a regular PSD file at home or in class, I can't find it. I have even tried saving it on Google Drive in the folder that I shared with you. I search everywhere I think the file may be at, and it's never there. This is just extremely infuriating because this is an easy thing to do. I don't know if when I upload something it is just glitching.

There were some positive aspects to this project despite all these things that happened in the process of doing my work. After some time, I kind of found painting this therapeutic; I really enjoyed the yellow parts of the project because of how little of the color there was compared to the rest of the other colors. Additionally, it required a lot more precision compared to the other colors. It would be in the middle of other colors, such as white or black, in the middle-bottom of the painting. The process of making this was very long and complicated. I had to alter the sensitivity of my mouse on both my MacBook Air and on the computer at school. I did this because prior to changing my sensitivity, it was extremely difficult to have control over the brushes that I was using to make this project. 

After some careful research, Picasso's "Jacqueline with Flowers" begins when Picasso met Jacqueline Roque in 1953 at the pottery when she was 27 years old and he was 72. He showed his love for her by drawing a dove on her house in chalk and bringing her a rose a day until she agreed to date him six months later. In 1955, when Picasso's first wife, Olga Koklova, died, he was free to marry. They married in Vallauris on 2 March 1961. Jacqueline with Flowers, 1954, celebrates Picasso's new lover, Jacqueline Roque, in his painting.  This story behind this painting is interesting since he was loving another woman while being a married man, which just adds more drama into the creation of this painting. This all demonstrates the type of human and artist Pablo Picasso was when he was alive and creating art.

Self-portrait in Color Blogger

Image
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 i...

Self-Portrait Grayscale Blogger

Image
  This is my self portrait in grayscale. This project was one of the most frustrating projects in the entirety of my time being in Graphic Design. I lost my file twice because it somehow didn't save, then, when I had it, I lost most of my work. I believe that I could have done better work than what I did. I almost mixed up all of my layers as well. What also made me take so much longer than it should have was the fact that I was too zoomed in while doing this project. I wanted precision at the start. However, by the end, precision was the least of my concerns, my objective was to finish it because it's been too long. Despite all of this, I enjoyed doing this project and would consider doing this again when I am more experienced with adobe illustrator and photoshop.

Expressive Words

Image
The expressive words project was one of the easier projects in my opinion. I really enjoyed manipulating the words in my project until I was content.  For the first part of my project, the first word that I chose for this project is the word donut. I decided to turn the letter o and turn it into a donut by putting another o inside the o.  For the second part of my project, I decided to choose the word animal. The first two letters and the last letter of the animal stayed the same, so I can change the rest of the letters while still being able to understand what the word is. Then the letter I got turned upside down into the ! sign. The  m was actually ^ grouped together with another ^ in order for it to look like an m. For the final a in the word animal, I decided to just use the @ symbol.   For the third part of my project, I decided to choose the word stretch. For this word, obviously, I stretched out the letters as far as I possibly could.  For the fourth part...
