My Silhouette


My Silhouette
Digital Design

First I got three pictures of myself and for each I painted each of me with quickmask so I could put them on one document. Then I painted tyhe background with a blue and orange color gradient that is reflected with using the Gradient Fill layer style. Next I used the gradient fill on both the "me's" that are behind the middle "me". After taht I looked online for circle paint designs and painted some in several layers of the project. I finished the project by altering the circle designs with bevel and emboss. I really liked this project and it doesn't need to be worked on. 

Dragon Heart Bottle Cap Jewelry

First I made the black circle by using the rulers for the exact circle when I made a circle with the elliptical Marquee tool. Next I found a heart online then place it in the circle and changing it's size with scale. I gave it  a blue color. Then I found a picture of a dragon online and scaled it to size, fitting it into the circle. I had to remove the extra details I got with the heart and the dragon by using the erazer tool. After that I added a blue border with the rectangular marquee tool giving it a blue color with a outer and inner shadow with bevel and emboss. Finally after all that I made the banner sign with the custom shape tool, selecting banners. I really didn't have any problems making this. I'm happy with this and I think it's finished.

My Anime Self-Portait

I made this using the paranthesis and dashes make the whole thing, though i used "o" for the nose and < for the part on the bottom. To base the picture on this position of the person, I looked for a picture of some of my favorite anime characters. I used scale, skew, and scale to make the letters the right shape and size. Most problems were their size differences, I did what I could to fix them with scale. I'm somewhat happy with the result. I think I should fix the size of the head.
