Beatles T shirt Design

Front

Back

Why did I choose this design?
I choose this design because I like the Beatles and I wanted to try to make a design for it. I also found this really cool picture that I thought would look cool on the shirt.

What did I do good?
I think that I choose the right color for the shirt and I choose the right quote to put on the back which is from one of my favorite songs "let it be".I think my shirt wasn't too crowded.

What could I have done better?
I think that I could have added more things to the shirt, however I did not want there to be too much things on the shirt because then it would look to messy. I wanted the shirt to be simple yet nice.

To Make You Feel My LOVE



Why did you create that design?
I created this design because I wanted to use one of my favorite songs as the title. I tried to use color splash to make the heart more apparent in the front cover. I chose this design because I wanted to use the different affects in photoshop such as desaturation and color splash.

What did you do good? 
I think that I did the color splash in the front of the book well. I also think my summary really related to the theme and the title of the book. i chose good pictures for the book because it related to the title and theme. I think I used the tools in photoshop well. I also think my quote that I inserted at the back of the book was good and related to my title.

What could you have done better?
I think I could have added a border to the book. I also think I could have added quotes from various newspapers and book reviews.

Movie poster


For my movie poster I choose STEP UP because it is a really good movie and when I watched I really enjoyed it. I was able to crop out the character on the top right corner of the poster and insert of picture of myself jumping.
I think that my picture looks pretty cool and real. I was able to smooth the poster out so that there weren't that many unnecessary flaws showing. Joel was able to show me how to adjust the contrast and how to insert a lighting effect onto the poster. I also changed the wording and inserted a quote at the top of the poster that says "dance isn't a form, it's a way of life".
I think that I could have changed the title of the movie but it would have been to difficult to do that on photoshop.

Self-Portrait



For my self-portrait added images that I think describes me. The background of my self-portrait is the beach because I love going there with my friends. I added a picture of yogurtland because I love to eat it. I put the Bodyarts symbol because I love to dance and have been doing so for 7 years. I put a picture of myself with my sister and my best friends because they are a huge part of my life and they are the ones that get me through my day. Lastly, I put the quote "Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but rising up everytime we fail".
I think I incorporated good pictures that describe myself into my project. I was able to take the picture of myself, the bodyarts symbol, pointe shoes, yogurtland, and the beach and merge them all together.
I think I could have made my project more seamless. I could have merged the pictures together so that they seem as iff they are just one whole image.
