Disconnect

This week, we made a piece of work inspired by Roy Lichtenstein. He was a famous pop artist that mimicked comic books. We found a photo online and then went into photoshop to outline the photo. We then proceeded to make a pattern in photoshop that had the polkadot effects and filled in each section. We were able to create that pattern many times with different colors. I decided to create something that I feel like Lichtenstein would've created but in our current time period.

Pop Art

Pop Art Color and Texture

In class we were learning about the color wheel. We went into photoshop cc 2017 to create different color schemes and pop art using an image of a well known person in pop culture. Ive chosen Johnny Depp playing his character, Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.

The first thing that we did was choose a photo from online and put it into photoshop. We then added a black and white filter adjustment. In this filter we adjusted it to where the background and certain areas were now lighter than the actual image of our person.

We then used a gradiant filter and made different color schemes for this photo. 

Complementary Color Scheme: Red and Green

Analogous Color Scheme: Green, Yellow-Green, Yellow

Triad Color Scheme: Orange, Green, and Purple

Monocromatic Color Scheme: Blue

We then used the polarize filter on our photo to make it look like pop art.

Now we used the color balance to change the colors.

After that we used the Hue/Saturation filter. 

Phi Theta Kappa

This week we were asked to make a t-shirt design for our campus's Phi Theta Kappa honors society. Since there was little interest to create a shirt they have asked our Design 1 class to create a shirt. Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in higher education. They focus on recognizing and encouraging academic achievement of two-year college students. Their colors are gold and blue, so i definitely wanted to incorporate that in the shirt. We had to have the Phi Theta Kappa, or the greek letters, included in the design along with the chapter at our school, Rho Chi. The gold oak leaves symbolize stability and strength of character. I decided to add what the society stands for and add them to the leaves; honors, aspiration, leadership, service, success, fellowship, wisdom, achievement and character. I also incorporated the acronym for Tarrant County College in the front so people will know what school they belong to in Phi Theta Kappa.

Polygon Cougar

 This time we did the same thing but instead we created the polygonal animal in Adobe Illustrator. This we used the pen tool and it made the shapes much easier. I decided to do a different animal this time in homage to my old high school mascot.
