Photoshop 2 Class Final Portfolio Overview - Compositing

These are compositing image I created for class

This was a multiplicity project. It is several pictures merged into one, to look like there are several of the same thing in the same picture.
This was another multiplicity picture with my pugs in the backyard.

These next three were part of a "campaign" I created for a this project. It is a play on Mother Earth talking to us through the things she gives us.


This was a logo I created as a play on the peacock "eyes".

Layout Class Overview

This class was a lot of fun and I was able to try out new things.
This one was our final. We were to pick any artist, find an article/interview with them and make a new four page spread layout with that article. I love this artist and if you don't know about her....look her up. She will make you re-think design.


This was a newsletter design we did earlier in the quarter. I was trying to be practical and used Jennifer's building as my client. This was challenging and fun. It has two sides and folds in half horizontally and then vertically.


OMG...This is another great artist. This was another 4 page spread layout that we were to do on an artist. She does some really cool stuff and you should check her out ASAP.


Overview of Projects from Graphic Symbolism Class

This project was our final. We had to make up a company that was opposite of our beliefs. I had a hard time thinking of something, and went with a gas company based on the cost of gasoline. We had to create a symbol that was based on typography, one that was symbolic and one that was descriptive. There was a whole back story and paper, but that is the boring part.

We had to create a logo for ourselves based on another paper we wrote. I always have a hard time designing for myself, but I really like how this turned out.


This is another version of my personal logo. This was the original but I changed it up and made it monotone, which I like much more.



This was one of our first projects, We were given words and we had to create a symbol that was basic and could cross cultural lines and language barriers. The family one is my favorite.

New Personal Projects

I made the smaller purse for my niece's 9th birthday and loved it, so I made the larger one for me!

I made this little pillow for my friend's newborn son. His name is on the other side and I did the classic "Beatles" walk b/c that is what she was doing the room in.

Form & Space

This was a 3D class trying to help us think outside the box.

This was a Serial Plane project. We were to take a shape and then break it down into planes. Here is my inspiration: a classic glass decanter.
This is the computer mock up of the estimated size curve size.
Final Project...with removable top
This was a simple take home project. Take paper strips and create something. The first one I did in class looked horrible. This is the new one I did after sitting down in my studio and just knocking it out. The base is a thick mat board (11x17).
Spatial Cell project. I did not get a picture of the final but here is the computer mock up. This was also the second attempt...the first one is so bad it makes me cry and laugh when I think about it.
This was a group project where we had to do a full size cardboard cut out. This was the base. I did not get a picture of the final, but it has a black bar over the "censored" area and a tie that was hand painted by a classmate to say "it's my birthday".
The last project in this class was package design. I do not have pictures of the final products and point of purchase display but I will as soon as it goes up for display. My product was girl fishing equipment...called hook, line and sinker. Here is the logo.
