Text Tool -Self Portrait of Me

This project is called "Text Tool-Self Portrait of Me". I created this for my Digital Design Class at school. My goal was to create a Self Portrait of myself, only being able to use the Text Tool on Photoshop. Even though my self portrait doesn't look exactly like me, I wanted to make sure I especially included my more dominant physical features, such as my big smile. While I was working on my project, my deadline was a problem. Since I am a perfectionist, it is hard to speed up my creative processes and let the little things go. When I was working on my hair, I couldn't seem to get it right. From lack of experience with Photoshop, I came to find out that instead of having to find the copy of a letter in my side toolbar before working with it, I could simply right click on an object and then work with it. This simple difference would have saved me hours of work time. I feel like in the end I was successful in recreating my face.

My Parody Sign

For this project, my goal was to create a parody sign out of an Oversize Load sign for my Digital Design Class at school. To start my project, I contemplated different sign designs that I've seen in the past, and tried to decide which sign could potentially be changed to become a funny parody. I finally came up with using an Oversize Load sign to warn people of an upcoming woman with a rather large backside. Cruel, yet undeniably funny. I started my dream sign on Photoshop. I had some trouble though, trying to make my proportions relevant and trying to make the person's backside even. Since this was my first project on Photoshop, I planned on having a few problems with my unfamiliarity of the software. In the future I will be able to make my projects cleaner and more exact, since I have some experience under my belt. I am very happy with the way my design turned out. When I look at it, it makes me stop and think, "Wow!". This was my planned reaction. I hope you enjoy my sign! :)
