I feel like this is a different kind of Christmas card. If I were to change it I would've added maybe a picture, a family picture because it looks sort of bland. I still really liked how it turned out though. I got this background picture from morgue files.com and and scanned the snowflake from what I made out of paper. I then changed the opacity to a lighter fill and used the effect color burn to give it that wintery look. I then got  a cursive font and copied the colors from the snowflake. I really like how this turned out! And I really liked this graphic design part of e-comm! I loved editing photos in photoshop and illustrator and look forward to doing it more!!

Web design

 This is my website in the process of finishing it. Overall,  web design is not my thing but I enjoyed doing the process and learn how people make websites and use graphics and pictures and codes to change and add things into it.

This is the final product of the website. It's got a show of different colors and a contrast of black and light blue. I added a picture of the school to give the viewer a visual of what my school looks like.








I also used my schedule to see my daily life at school and all the classes the offer and to show how the day is in Kansas. Dreamweaver was a sort of old system but I learned to work with it and make it better and I got to learn the opportunity to make a website and do the process  of it.

My personal logo

In my logo I wanted a simple yet fun and creative logo that would make people remember it. For example, everyone knows the logo for McDonald's is the golden M. Just like that I want people to remember me by. With this logo it shows that I love all things girly with the color pink. In my sketches, I showed that I still want my name but a symbol in it that represents me and what I like to do.

Photoshop Projects 1-4

       In this specific project, I used the magic eraser a lot. Firstly, I started with a picture of the school and had to erase the polls and cover up the car with grass to make it disappear. Then we got the raven off of the wall and we had to crop the head only onto the picture. Lastly, there were pictures from the school and I just cropped them smaller and changed the opacity to a low amount and have a blurred look.
      In this project, I got used to the opacity tool and putting a text mask over the picture. I cropped the original picture smaller and then got the compass and took the white parts out of it and change the opacity to make it lighter. Then I added some text to it and had a light opacity to it to get this awesome picture!
     This was my most favorite project to do. It was so fun and enjoyable and I love using the clone tool. I used a tool to change the color and how much of the section I wanted. Lastly, I used the clone tool to have a flying affect by pressing option and click at the same time and then putting that spot in a different place and doing that over and over until you have this awesome butterfly!
In this last project I changed things up a bit. Instead of having the black line horizontal I changed it to vertical. That's what it's like in graphic design. You don't go exactly off of what the directions say but make it your own and become more creative. That's what graphic design is nowadays!!
