Album Cover
Freshman humanities classes were instructed to make a book cover for the short stories they wrote in class. Me, being a sophomore, I got to choose between making a poster, a book cover, or an album cover. Adele is one of my all time favorite artists and so I chose to remake Adele's cover for her album "21".
What makes for an engaging book cover?
Upon entering a book or music store one would most likely be more drawn to open a book or a CD with an engaging cover. The covers that stand out to a customer are the ones that will most likely be more frequently sold. The customer should be able to guess the mood for what type of writing or music is within and given the cover, they should be able to know the quality level of the content inside.

To what extent does a work of art depend on the viewers point of view?
The viewers point of view and taste in art has everything to do with the success of the artist. If the cover is appealing to the customer then the album/book/piece of art will be a big seller.

Teacher Animal Poster Project
This is the first project in which we actually got to put all of the skills we have learned so far to use. It was really fun to mix and match and turn our teachers into different creatures.
How to: Changing Eye Color
We spent a few days in class watching photoshop tutorial videos. For each video we watched we were supposed to mimic the product to better understand the different purposes of each tool in photoshop. It was really easy because we had the instructions acted out right in front of us but to get our final product to be exactly like the ones in the videos was a bit challenging.
For this project we went out into nature and were asked to take photos of everything that made up the letters of our names. Finding the letters and the angles needed to make them look good was the hardest part. Using our basic photoshop skills, we shaped and resized our pictures to fit them together and make them look unified. This was our introduction into this class and into photoshop and it was a very enjoyable project which gave us the skills we needed to move on to our next project.
