Alphabet

The original alphabet assignment was to create our own set of the 26 letters of the alphabet as creatively as possible. I decided to complete this project using pictures from home. As i was sitting in my room thinking of what to do, I looked over to my desk and saw the cool piece of marbled paper on top of it and several blue mechanical pencils. The paper provides a great background for the letters, and completes the blank space where the last two squares are. I used spacing and line to create clean letters centered in their box that together formed a cohesive image. I am happy with my results, but next time I would be more careful in lighting the workspace, because my mistakes led to the black shadows in some of the earlier images. It is important to remember to make your pictures as clean as possible to save work in Photoshop.

Batesville Day T-Shirt

This assignment was to make a design for a Batesville Day T-Shirt, and it was supposed to incorporate themes of Batesville Day and elements of Batesville Culture. I tried to find something that was very particular to Batesville Day to build my design around; upon looking on the Batesville Day website, I discovered the "ugly truck contest." I chose to create a design from a picture of an old truck, so I found a painting of this old red truck and (meticulously) edited out the background. I was inspired by the stereotypical old red farm truck, and I felt that this clean and simple image would best represent Batesville Day. I decided to add the "B8S-VIL" on the license plate as an extra touch. I didn't really use many elements, except for perspective to angle the lettering on the license plate to make it appear genuine. This was an easy and fun project, and I enjoyed being able to use creativity to find a good image for this T-Shirt. I am happy with the results, and next time I might put more time into added some of my own designs to the picture.
