New Photoshop Class

This is from my newest class. Don't laugh...I know it's very simplistic but it's just the first one. I have never really used photoshop before and I realized that it is crazy difficult. These are my black and white shapes. Some are symbolic, while others are more obvious.

Homemade CD

Hello all! I am visiting a friend soon and we are exchanging cds. The inspiration for making the entire case from scratch came from my lack of case yet abundance of bristol board. I designed the album art all by hand, wrote all the names of the songs on the inside by hand, and created the cd sleeves too. You can see how I created enough space to allow myself to attach a sleeve. It took a lot of thinking but I finally got the design down pat. The full demesions are 5.5 inchx 5.75 inch (when closed) and colored with pen and prismacolor. It's entitled "The Album" to be boringly humorous.

Doing Paint

This is the first piece ive done since school let out. i needed to paint or create it was crazy how much i missed it. but the canvas i used was an old one that i had painted about 7 years ago. I used basic acrylic paint and i loaded it up on the canvas and propped it up overnight so it would drip and do its own thing. then the next day i had filled in places where i wanted more color like the blue parts and white parts. then i cut squares (3 of them) and painted them in the same style as the background. i load a circular sponge up with paint and dabbed it in the wet paint of the canvas and on the dry parts. i painted on posterboard the same way as the canvas then cut it into strips and pasted it on the board. the LIQUITEX the whole thing to give it a finished shiny look.
