In order to craft an artwork promoting reading, I started with a chosen quote. I integrated it around a stock image of an open book using the path tool. Sensing a need for enhancement, I included the word "READ!" in the font impact to urge viewers towards reading. Transforming the background into a night sky, I employed dark blue shades and added stars and dots. Random stars were given a glow effect using the ellipse tool, completing the celestial ambiance.

To promote Central City Zoo, I utilized provided stock images of silhouettes. Inspired by the Ferris wheel, I imagined animals finding joy in chasing objects, thus focusing on it as the centerpiece. Adding the cityscape to the canvas, I depicted a jumping tiger, creating a dynamic scene of pursuit. To highlight the tiger, I introduced a vibrant orange hue, extending it to the text which was curved using the ellipse tool for added visual appeal.

For this project, I crafted a fictitious exhibition poster featuring the acclaimed artist Yayoi Kusama, whose works I greatly admire. Drawing inspiration from Kusama's iconic polka dots, I centered the design around black dots against a vibrant yellow backdrop. This deliberate choice aimed to encapsulate the essence of Kusama's distinctive style, creating a visually compelling representation of her artistic legacy.

Employing shapes and gradients, I created a robot from scratch. To bring it to life, I emphasized a fiery aesthetic by using red and orange hues. Spirals were also incorporated into the background to evoke flames, enhancing the sinister vibe of the evil robot.

The primary goal of this project was to reimagine a landscape by blending multiple images together using clipping masks. Beginning with a landscape featuring autumn trees, I removed the leaves and sky. Next, I incorporated a close-up image of fall leaves on the ground, shaping spiky forms with the shape tool and applying clipping masks to create new tree crowns. Introducing an orange sky image, I utilized a clipping mask to replace the original sky. Additionally, I incorporated clouds using the ellipse tool, applying clipping masks to mimic clouds in the sky while adjusting their hues for added vibrancy. To enhance the scene, I included Halloween-themed elements such as pumpkins and purple bubbles created with the ellipse tool.

This project aimed to craft a fresh landscape image by blending various pictures using clipping masks. Beginning with a nighttime road scene, I sought to alter the sky, integrating a galaxy image through a clipping mask. I added new clouds using the ellipse tool and further embellished the scene by symbolizing the moon with the top of a dreamcatcher. Completing the composition, I scattered pink stars across the sky and included two blue flowers found online.

This project focused on mastering font manipulation. By experimenting with colors, spacing, and size adjustments I was able to effectively convey given words. Throughout this project, I explored the relationship between typography elements and refined my abilities to craft cohesive compositions. Through exploration of color palettes and spacing, I learned to establish visual hierarchy. Ultimately, this project provided valuable insights into the art of typographic design, equipping participants with essential skills for creating visually captivating works.

For this project, I merged an image of a dog and a cat sourced from a stock image website. After dividing both images into nine sections, I selectively removed alternating pieces from each. Subsequently, I slightly adjusted the placement of each piece for cohesion. Finally, I enhanced the composition by adding shadows beneath the images and applying a filter for added depth and visual interest.

The objective of this project was to combine an image of yourself with an image of an your spirit animal. Beginning with a black background, I integrated both images onto the canvas. Employing erasing techniques, I seamlessly blended the two images, creating the illusion that we were emerging from the dark backdrop.

Placing the reflected image atop the main one, I adjusted blending modes and opacity to achieve a realistic reflection appearance. Noticing a man's presence in the reflection, I horizontally flipped the image to create the illusion of interaction between the woman and the man, enhancing the narrative of the composition.

I merged two images to create a cohesive composition. I selected a large image of a cat from a stock website, specifically chosen for its compatibility with the background image. By blending the cat into the background and positioning it as if leaning against the building, I aimed to create a seamless integration between the two elements.

The goal of this project was to design a fictitious poster for a Japanese summer festival. Drawing inspiration from the significance of cherry blossoms in Japanese culture, I centered the theme around them. Utilizing an image of a woman amidst cherry blossoms as the main focal point, I incorporated colors from the image into the background and text. To reinforce the cherry blossom theme, I replaced standard bullet points with flower symbols and emphasized key information such as the date using the logo's red color. Additionally, I included images from Anderson Japanese Gardens' website and integrated a QR code, I created, linking to their site.

In order to craft an advertisement for the shoe brand TOMS, I sourced the TOMS logo and a shoe style image from Google. I obtained the background from a stock website. To harmonize with the background's green hues, I adjusted the color of the TOMS logo. Additionally, I highlighted the shoe by enclosing it within a circle filled with a complementary solid color, ensuring it stands out from the background. Given the background's varied colors, I utilized similar hues to add text boxes, enhancing the overall design.
