Illustration
ABC Project
For this assignment the class each got two or three letters from the alphabet and had to make an ABC book. The book was to look like cut paper and you were to use colors from the color palette that the instructor chose.
I used Adobe Illustrator CS5. I needed to be able to understand how to use all the tools in the software program in order to complete the assignment correctly.
This assignment was a team project. We all had to decide on what font to use and each person presented their rough draft and the class helped critique it.
Everyone had to communicate on what kind of font to choose and what object would go with your letter.
I had to make sure that I didn’t put any of the words too close to the valley, where the pages meet. And I needed to make sure that any of the visual designs weren't too close to the valley. I also needed to make sure that the layout of the two pages were appealing to the eye.

Photo Manipulation
The assignment was to use Photoshop CS5 to extract Don from the main image and place him in an empty field. The original picture was of him and his baseball team. Don then would choose which photo he liked the best.
I used my knowledge of Adobe Photoshop CS5 and cut Don out of the team picture. I also needed to get different body parts from a few of the players in the picture. I did a lot of critical thinking because I had to find different body parts and piece them all together and try to make it look natural. After I put the body all together I found a baseball field and put Don on it. I used some of the tools in Photoshop to make Don and the background match.
Don chose my photo as the winner and enlarged and framed it for his office.
