Pantone Project

 Hello once again! Today my classmates and I were once again tasked with making another piece involving pantone coloring, a truly interesting process.

I didn't really find anything new about using pantones colors with the image, rather I was reminded of how beautiful and vibrant the colors are. Whether or not It's important to use Pantone colors as an artist is completely up to what the artist Is doing. If the artist is selling one color screen print clothing then yes it would be important. The use of Pantone's would add a boost in assurance of color and quality.

The most difficult part of the project was actually just separating the different pieces of the subject to highlight certain objects. It was pretty easy! I definitely feel successful, the piece is very nice to look at and the colors fit in nice. The text, in my opinion, is also really cool.

Here is the piece...

Photo Restoration

 Hello! Today my classmates and I were assigned to restore an old photo. It was a really fun process actually. I removed all the destroying folding marks on the image and repaired essentially all the missing pieces of the photo.

Honestly, I think I succeeded but I definitely agree that the job wasn't perfect. I wasn't able to save the photo from being super pixelated. I tried doing multiple things and It wouldn't really work but I tried.

The creative process I went through a roller coaster one. I used a majority of the healing tools and sometimes one would work for one area and so I had to switch multiple times through the whole pice for each separate area. Then the coloring, the picture seemed like it was from the old west and for some reason, I thought of blond hair so that's Why she now has blond hair. The clothes were a simple job, just a light color since the color on the original picture was so bright.

The color I feel was way more successful. although it is a bit rough and, once again, pixelated. 

Here was the transformation...

CD Packaging

Hello once again! Today, my fellow classmates and I were tasked with creating a CD Packaging design for a group we very much enjoy while focusing on the use of custom/preset brushes. I chose to make one for Everglow a Korean pop band whose music I really enjoy and listen to daily.

Their whole mail appeal or "concept" as a group is "girl crush" but as a bonus for every album, they add a fun/cutesy song to their albums to show their versatility. That was the main aspect that I wanted to focus on for this album cover. I used a pink background to ensure a cute/artistic vibe and used The paintbrush to further develop it.

The challenges I faced when creating the CD Design was more so on my part. Before even starting the project I had ideas that weren't in line with the assignment (The ideas didn't utilize the brush tool). So I had made another version I deemed to be a "personal ver". I am now realizing I got too caught up in using the brush tool that I could have combined the two ideas instead of making two separate ones *facepalm*. I still have some more adjustments to make to the assignment so I'll test that out as soon as possible.

Here are the results...
