Water Princess

   So the basic idea of this project was to make a girl underwater but then i decided to add some more elements, like the castle, grass, and walkway. This is probably one of my favorite projects just because it turned out so well. 

   With all of the pictures there was a lot of blue coloring, even in the original pictures. This made it easier to blend them all together. 

   I added some small elements that you may not have seen, like the bubbles around the girl's mouth and the coloring on the path. Along with the sand and sea grass. 

   I think the hardest element on this project was the castle, I had to go in and remove it from its original background, and with all its peaks and curls it was fairly difficult. The girl on the other hand was simplistic enough. easy guidelines and the white dress was perfect for hiding mistakes. 

   I think I am going to do more projects just like this, it was nice to give myself something a bit more challenging to do. 

10 things I love

   Here is my finished design for the "10 things I love" poster. I wanted to mainly focus on adding color and having a very creative design that is eye-catching. The items I chose are very diverse and special to me. I chose the text based on the style I wanted to achieve. I went with the fonts "sketch book" to give it a very playful look and then followed it up with "American Typewriter " to give it the structured counter part. I liked how the two fonts were opposite yet worked so well together. The subheading was not much different from the "american typewriter" all i changed was the size and italicized it. 

   One thing I noticed about all of the products I listed for my top 10, is that they all have a very simplistic deign that makes them look almost sheik. Bright colors on the drinks are eye-catching and just look delicious. The electronics, converse, and PS label all have very dark colors and not much contrast. This gives them a modern look with a hint of elegance. 

   The main thing I learned from this project is that colors and type can really effect the mood your product can have. I find it really interesting that simple things added together can create such fantastic visuals.
