Silhouette Design of Me

For this project I dressed up in a nice outfit. Then, I took 3 pictures. I put the pictures onto photoshop and I used the quick mask mode to cut out my pictures and put them into this document. I chose the 3 triadic colors of orange pink and brown for my background, because they would go with my dress well. The background is a gradient. I also have a gradient inside two of my pictures. This adds a cool clean look that I like a lot. By having two of my pictures filled in it also helps bring my focus on the main picture of myself. I downloaded air brushes from the internet and I used different colors to create a nice look for my picture. Since I am smiling and wearing pretty colors, I used fun energetic colors for my airbrush affects. I had a problem picking the colors for my gradients and I had some help from my teacher with how to pick appropriate colors to use. I am very happy with the outcome because I think my overall picture comes together and the colors are all appropriate.

Famous For 15 Minutes - Andy Warhol

 For this project I wanted to look good, since Andy Warhol was all about being famous for 15 minutes. I wanted to look famous. He was the father of Pop Art and pop art was about changing the color scheme of a picture and messing with different colors. In my top left box I have a purple for my monocromatic color. In the next box to the right of that is puple and yellow, complementary colors. The next box is green, yellow, and purple, these are split complementary colors. To the right of that is my picture using orange, purple, and green, representing triadic colors. I used purple for all the boxes in order to tie the whole thing together. I think all of my colors go nice together. I am happy with the project because I tried my best for the colors not to color and make my face so dark that I couldnt see my face. I edited my picture quite a bit in order to make my face recognizable and make it so my colors distributed.
