Book Cover Project - Summer 2024
My second favorite course; This class emphasized mastering tools like Adobe Photoshop enablaing us to focus on creating high-quality visual assets. I learned advanced image manipulation techniques, including color correction, compositing, and digital designing for both web and print. Practical projects, such as designing UI elements and creating graphics for multimedia projects, strengthened my ability to create polished, professional visuals. For this specific project, we were asked to select a photo(s) and turn it into a painting. This was by far one of my favorite projects to work on. Utilizing Adobe Photoshop, it was required that we use at least two of these tools in our design: grading, pen, layer masks, or filters. Later, we were asked to turn our finished product into an animated GIF.

Movie Poster Project - Summer 2024
Much like the "Book Cover" task. This time, however, we had to design a movie poster for a made-up movie of our choosing. There were many of the same restrictions and guidelines. This project, however, called for even more perseverance because layer mask application and usage were essential. Id go as far as to say; crucial.
I decided to use "Wolverine" from the X-men as my focal point and center piece because the theme was movie posters and I took the course in the summer. It was ideal because Deadpool & Wolverine was the biggest summer blockbuster this past July.

Motion Blur Project - Summer 2024
This project required us to add a Photoshop blur effect along a path to an image you select in order to create the illusion of movement. Motion blur is a visual effect that simulates the appearance of movement in a scene or image, making objects appear to be moving faster or adding realism to animations and video sequences.
Creative Use of Motion Blur usually involves designing animations or still images that creatively employ motion blur to convey speed, dynamism, or action. In real-world applications, motion blur is applied throughout projects for advertising, storytelling, or user experience design to make visuals more engaging and realistic. With all this in mind, I felt showing the intensity of an athlete dribbling down the court would fit perfectly for the task.

The task at hand was to create a wedding program for an upcoming wedding ceremony from scratch (no templates of any form were allowed)! It needed to be 1-page, double-sided, single-fold.
