~6 Examples of Typeface~

 This is decorative. It is appropriate because it helps show the company's product in a much cooler way than just a simple serif font.

 MacBook Pro is in Sans serif. It is appropriate because it's clean and simple just like the MacBook itself.

NYC is a slab san serif. It is mildly appropriate. Not really sure what kind of a message it is supposed to show

This is Grunge of distressed style. It is appropriate because it describes the person's mood










 "Miss Dior" is script and it is appropriate because it makes it seem more exotic
The book and its letters are all in oldstyle and is appropriate because it is an old book, "aesop".

~Fighting Spirit~

If I had to be a font, I would choose to be the font, Fighting Spirit. It's a really bold font with a lot of edges. It is just a really empowering font and I really like that feeling I get from seeing it. 

~Senior Officers~

Questions:

• What is the club about?
• What are the goals?
• What activities do you do?
• What is the purpose
• Who is in it?
• What is the best part? 

As the name of the "club" suggests, it consists of seniors that have been chosen from the entire grade to make senior year the way they want it to be. Quoting Spiderman, "With great power comes great responsibility", the senior officers are in charge of leading senior games, planning prom, and other activities such as the senior trip. It is their responsibility to not only make our senior year fun, but also an organized one. The purpose of this club is to not only make senior year our year, but also teach those  in it leadership, organization, and public speaking skills. In order to do that, the senior officers are grouped up and put in charge of organizing, announcing, and putting into action different events such as the ones from above. 

~Good Logos~

This logo is designed by Hi-Rez Studios for their game, Smite. I really like this logo not because it's for my favorite game but also because of how simple but powerful it is to me. Hi-Rez Studios uses a lightning bolt as an icon of power. The game that this logo is supposed to represent, is one filled with gods, one of them being Zeus. So not only does this logo represent power but also incorporates a part of the game in it.

A logo that I'm not too familiar with but I like is this one, Samurai by Steve Rodic. It is a very clean design with very few colors, consisting of only hues of black and white. It's a logo for Samurai and to show this, Steve has literally put a samurai in all its glory with its' wakizashi in a black background. It has no curves, only edges, making it a clean, cut design. 

~Portrait Transformation Project~

Before

After

Well, my concept actually is a before and after one. I used the clone tool to make a clone of the original Cristina next to her. Then I made the overall figure of Cristina brighter and removed "flaws" such as her dimples and neck (lines?). Then I added the bow and the whiskers to transform her into her favorite cartoon character, Hello Kitty. 

~Symbol GIF~

Concept: Global Warming

While using Photoshop, what was the most frustrating aspect of the program and/or project? 

The most frustrating aspect of this project was determining the sequence in which each slide appears. Although I knew that all these slides would be included, it was really hard for me to choose whether the fire should appear first or the face. After talking to several peers, I determined that the fire would come first but I was still unsure because I felt like I should've made the Earth smiling first then change it to a frown as the fire appeared. It was also really hard to not be lazy and just make one less slide and make the transition abrupt. 

After completing the project, which tools do ou feel most confident using?

I feel most confident using the paint brush tool because throughout much of my process I had to use this tool to color the majority and paint over mistakes. I've become really familiar with switching colors and adding it to my swatches and I just feel like I'm in control of it.

Which Tool do you wish you were better at using? Explain why.

I really wish I was better at using the color mixer tool because it was pretty hard for me to understand and see what was going on. The changes just seemed to minute for me to notice and I wanted to make it more obvious. But I guess that's how it's supposed to look. I just want to be better and mixing the colors in order to create a color that I want. 

What would you like to create next with Photoshop?

To be very honest, I would actually really like to make another GIF but have more time so I could not be lazy and be able to develop it further.
