Text tuts

This week we worked on text tutorials. We are supposed to make logos for our business that we made and mine is Thompson Soccer Shop. I also need some extra credit so I decided to enter in a couple of Worth1000 contests. I am not sure of the results, but I will find out soon.

This week I worked more on the weird word project. As I might have said before, I did it on my iPad. It was rather difficult figuring out how to use photoshop on the iPad, but I got the hang of it toward the end. I thought that it turned our pretty well, and I will probably make another one like that in the future.

The week we started working on a new project. We all pulled out a word from a hat and my word is hebetude. It means boring or dull. We have to make a poster out of that word and I will most likely be doing this on my ipad. I also finally finished my two pictures piece.

This week I worked on finishing my project. Unfortunately I did not finish because I did not have class time today because of a GSI meeting, but I am just about finished. I put these african kids playing soccer in a professional soccer game and I think it turned out really well. I made them look like a drawing and put them on a piece of paper, and I am holding the paper.

This week we started on a project that you have to put something in an image to completely change it. What I am doing is putting African kids playing soccer on a real soccer field. Now we are changing the color of an image to make it have a different emotion

Self Portrait

This year we are starting a project doing a self portrait of ourselves. It is supposed to reflect the literal meaning of our name. "Jack" means gracious to God. "Cordes" means cord or string maker. "Thompson" means twin. I was think about making an image where two men (probably me) are hanging from a string that wraps around one of God's fingers. I will be working on this next week.

Surreal

This week I finished my second surreal piece. I think it turned out really well and I enjoyed making it. I also Started making two things this week. One was a flower contest for worth100 and another was the drawing tutorial. I don't think the flower piece is that good, but I really only had a day and a half to make it. I am now currently working on the drawing.
