Line Art Shoe IllustrationC r e a t e a S h o e i n I l l u s t r a t o r

(8 x 5 inches) I needed to take a picture of a shoe off the internet and I needed to outline and color it. The assign-ment was to see how we used tools within Illustrator to create the details and color. Mainly used the pen tool for this assignment.

Fall LeavesT r a c i n g t h e O u t l i n e o f L e a v e s i n I l l u s t r a t o r

(7 x 10 inches.) The purpose of this assignmetn was to become familiar with the pen tool in Illustrator. With the pen tool, one would have to trace the outline of the leaves and then fill them in with various fall colors. Only some, not all of the leaves had to be traced.

Ipod IllustrationC r e a t i n g / O u t l i n i n g a I p o d i n I l l u s t r a t o r

(6.5 x 8 inches) The assignment was to further develop the use of the Pen tool lin Illustrator as well as some other tools like the Ellipse tool. I was to take a picture of an ipod and trace it with the Pen tool. I also had to use the Type tool and to put color in it.

(7.2 x 7.2 inches) The point of the assingment was to show our skill with Photoshop. The assignment taken place after many Photoshop tutorials, so we were to show off that we knew how to use Photoshop correctly. We had to gather items that represent or describe us. Examples could be thing you like or interested in. We were to place them into the same picture, but make it look realistic, like a picture. So we had to add shadows and reflections. We also had to use Free Transform and Distort to make the perspective of some of the items right.

Photo ManipulationT a k e a p h o t o a n d m a n i p u l a t e i t

(5.4 x 5.8 inches) The point of this assignment was once again to show the development of skill in Photoshop. I had to take a picture and manipulate or distort it in some way, but also make it look “real”. I had taken a picture of a frog and by using the Smudge and Blur tool, I was able to make the frog look like it was melting. I had also used a little Bevel to make the reflection of the liquid more life like. However, it would’ve been easier had I found the Liquify tool earlier.ne es dolorrores essit

Photoshop TutorialF i n d a P h o t o s h o p t u t o r i a l a n d c o m p l e t e i t

(4.5 x 7 inches)The objective of this assignment was to get us into Photoshop. Teach us how to use it. I was to go online and find a Photoshop tutorial to follow. I chose how to make a sphere. I chose it because I thought I could use it later in a different project. While the sphere itself didn’t have any use later in my proj-ects, the Gradient tool did appear in other assignments, so the practice in this one helped me a bit.

Magazine AdvertisementM a k e a m a g a z i n e A d v e r t i s e m e n t w i t h P h o t o s h o p a n d I n d e s i g n .

(6 x 8 inches) The point of this assignment was to allow us to be creative and come up with eye-catching designs that could help us later if we go into the design-ing business. I chose the product Bryce 3D to use as my magazine ad. I used a picture of a complicated and abstract art that was created by Bryce 3D as the main selling point and or picture, because anybody interested in it would want to see its 3D capibilites. I added a lot of white space so the eye can rest and added a small column of words to present the product. I also added the actual product on the other side with few plants, representing its ability to create landscaping art.

Admission TicketC r e a t e a n a d m i s s i o n t i c k e t f o r a n e v e n t o f y o u r c h o i c e .

(4 x 6 inches) Like the Magazine Advertisement assign-ment, the point is to be creative and practice Indesign. We had to pick an event and make a ticket for said event with a design that would catch people’s eyes, had all the necessary information that a normal ticket would have and put it all in a way that would look appealing to someone who glanced at it. I had to use color schemes and patterns to help boost its credibility. S

FoldingT a k i n g a p i c t u r e a n d f o l d i n g i t

(7 x 5 inches) The point of this assignment was to learn how to use Photoshop better. This one is just practice I did on my own. Following a tutorial, I took a picture of some field and used many color effects (Screen, Soft Light, Saturation) to make it look like I was peeling back an old picture and revealing a new one.

K. Davis GD2 13

Power Button DesignC r e a t e s o m e t h i n g i n P h o t o s h o h p .

(5.6 x 5. 6 inches) This was another thing I had done on my own. I found a tutorial on how to create a power button in photoshop. I used many tools including the El-lipse tool and various Gradients. This was just to further improve my abilities in Photoshop help me later on.

For this project we were asked to find a picture of a shoe off the internet and transform the picutre and make the shoe using lines and colors and text. We practically made the shoe again from a picutre off the internet. I really enjoyed this project. It was one of my favorite for the year.

Ipod IllustrationD E S C R I P T I O N

For this project we took a picture of an Ipod and made another one using the pen tool, the rounded rectangle tool, and the ellipse tool. This was the second project that we did in class so it was kind of difficult but it was an easy thing to learn. The purpose of this assignment was to teach us how to use the tools, or to help everyone get used to using the computers again.

Fall Leaves IllustrationD E S C R I P T I O N

This was the first project that we did this year. There was a picture with leaves on it and we were asked to pick out a few leaves and use the pen tool to trace the outlines of the leaves and then fill them with color. This project was used to just get everyone used to using the pen tool incase they forgot.

C Wright GD2 7


For this project we were asked to go online and find a photoshop tutorial that we liked and do it. I picked this one because it looked interesting and it looked like it would challange my skills. This was a very hard project for me becuase I am new to photoshop but I think it turned out pretty good. I really liked this project because it helped me work with the distort feature, becuase you had to make the smoke follow the skull and I really enjoyed doing this project.

8 GD2 C Wright


This is a project that I found online and i did it for fun. I thought it would be cool to learn how to make cool looking smoke. Even though it was an easy tutorial to do I still think it was a good pick for me.

Transformation PracticeD E S C R I P T I O N

In this project we took the top picture and put the pic-ture on to the bilboard. To do this we used the distort tool and the scale tool. This was a simple yet useful assianment that we did.

BlendingD E S C R I P T I O N

For this project we turned the top picture into thebottom picture. Thiis was a very simple project. To make the gun look like it is firing we simple just blended the black into the background. We made the color black dissappear so all you could see is the flame. To do this we went to layer/layer style/blending options then we messed with the dialog box and moved the sla

This was a project that I found on my own. I thought it would be a fun project and I was right. This project was kind of difficult but it was also fun. I learned how to use the puppet warp tool. It is a very good tool to know how to use and I think it will come in handy in the future. I also learned how to use the gradant tool. It is one tool that I will use for a long time.

Magazine AdvertisementD E S C R I P T I O N

For this project we made an advertisement that might go inside a magazine. I picked the golf ball the ProV1 and the ProV1x. They are the best golf ball in golf right now. Our focus was to make something that will catch some ones eye as if they were flipping through a magazine. We also learned how to use a grip system for placing images into the sheet.

Admission Ticket D E S C R I P T I O N

In this project we worked on making an admission ticket for anything that we wanted. I decided to make a ticket for The Masters golf tournament. We learned how to place images into a specific space and we learned how to make everything look good. This project also helped me by showing me how different fonts do make a difference and it also showed me that the logos and the words don’t need to be big to make an impact.

Trek is the first manufacturer in Wisconsin to switch entirely to renewable electric power. We used to burn 10.5 million pounds of coal each year. Now we burn 0. We’ve undertaken smaller-scale changes, too, like convert-ing our entire Waterloo facility to low-energy-consumption lighting.

Distort Filter FloraD E S C R I P T I O N

For this assignment, I started out with a lumpy circle, then copying and pasting it infront of the last but small-er and rotated just a little bit, and I kept doing that until it was filled to the center. Then I added a gradient color of green to purple, and made multiple copies. After, I played around with the effects in distort and transform, and altered the settings to create a variety of “flowers”.

Logo DesignD E S C R I P T I O N

The purpose of this project was to create a reasonable logo that communicates well to the audience. I created a logo for a business that I think would be really cool, but probably wouldn’t ever be successful (for obvious reasons). I started out with the vector images of a set of speakers and a tea cup, and the title typed out in a mixture of fonts and sizes. Then I played around with the colors a lot and added in new vectors, and ended up with this.

Surrealism CollageD E S C R I P T I O N

For this project, I had to take a background image and add in a collage of surrealism items that each represent at least one thing- levitation, juxtaposition, scale change, dislocation, and transformation. I placed all of this images on to the plane backdrop and then transformed them with distort, scale, sheer, and rotate to make it look a little bit more realistic.

The idea that a design just can’t be thrown together, it takes thought, imagi-nation, creativity, and most importantly time. You can’t expect to have a good final project after five minutes of work. You have to try and fail, then try again. Then, just when you think you have a perfect product, stop, there is always something you can adjust to make it a little better.

Photo MontageD E S C R I P T I O N

In the Photo Montage project we used all our knowledge of photoshop to create a realistic collage of items that describe you. We used some new photoshop tricks as well. Such as using the object opacity to give the illusion of reflections in glass.

For this project, we found a picture and manipulated it to look like something else, and since I had no better ideas, I put a giraffes neck and head on top of a wiener dog.

The Magazine Advertisement was easily my favorite project of the class. The project was to design a advertisement layout, then used the layout to create a complete advertisement. I came into the graphic design room almost everyday to work on this project.

The final project in InDesign, The Admisson TIcket project took the most time. For me at least. I restarted the project 4 times, creating something completely different each time until I was satisfied with the result. In the end, after restarting 4 times, and going though countless pictures of Would Series tickets, I ended up with this.

Design Statement:

This portfolio represents major projects that I completed during Graphic Design 2 and Gresham High School. This also in-cludes several creations that I completed during me free time. The projects that I in-cluded in this that were assigned in class are representations of what I learned when using Adobe Creative Suite CS5.

(6.5 x 6 inches)This was an introduction to using the Pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. I began with an image of leaves and turned it into a template. The template was at 50% transperency. After setting up the template I traced the egdes of the leaves with the Pen tool. Once I had finished with the tracing I filled in the shapes and arranged them to overlap eachother.

iPod IllustrationD E S C R I P T I O N

(6 x 7 inches)This was an extended introduction to the Pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. The goal was to create an illustration from a real image. In this I used the pen tool to trace most of the objects from the template. Other objects in the illustration were created using the Elipse tool.

(9 x 7 inches)This was another extension to using the Pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. I used an image as a template then began tracing various ares on the shoe. The most dif-ficult part of this project was overlapping the laces on the shoes to make the illustration realistic.

W. GIBSON GD2 7

Business Logo IllustrationD E S C R I P T I O N

(7.5 x 2 inches)This was a simple logo that I desidned in Adobe Illustra-tor. I used the Pen tool to create the shape. Next I made a stroke that was used to contrast with the business name. Finally I typed the business name and arranged it over the shape.

Space Eye Photo ManipulationD E S C R I P T I O N

(9 x 7 inches)Here is an example of something I made during my free time. This is an image I made using an online tutorial for the free photo manipulation program Gimp. I strarted with an image of an eye. The clouds are a layer mask on the eye. Next I made the blue lines coming from the eye with the Pen tool. Finally I copied the area around the eyeball and pasted it over the original with layer options set at Luminosity.

W. GIBSON GD2 9

Beach Split-toningD E S C R I P T I O N

(6.5 x 4.5 inches)Here is another example of something I made during my free time. This was tutorial for the progrram Gimp. The goal was to take a regular image with various colors and reduce it to a two toned image. I began by creating a set of black and white duplicates of the image. One image was overlayed with a blueish color and merged with the black and white. I did the same with the other image except I used a beige color to overlay with. Finally I changed the opacity of the beige layer to 75%.

Lighting and SceneryD E S C R I P T I O N

(10 x 6 inches)This is another tutorial I completed with Gimp during my free time. I began by using the pen tool to select the original overcast above the castle and deleted it. Next I added the brighter and bolder sky with sun burssting through the clouds. After adding the new background I overlayed a gradient white spot on the closest part of the castle. Finally I overlayed a copy of the castle and made a layer mask to darken areas around the image to create a focal point in the center.

W. GIBSON GD2 11

Business Logo GraphicD E S C R I P T I O N

(10 x 4.25 inches)This is a graphic that I made during my free time so that I would later be able to add it to my admission ticket project that I was creating in class. I began by creating the illustration to the left with the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. I brought the design into Adobe Photoshop and added the picture of the crowd behind it. This was a crowd at an event Insomniac produced. Next I typed the name and added a stroke layer style and reduced the layer fill to 0%. I copied the logo and the name, then pasted them underneath themselves upside down. Finally I added a black gradient to fade out the copies.

12 GD2 W. GIBSON

Eye Photo ManipulationD E S C R I P T I O N

(10.5 x 8 inches)This is something I made during my free time. I started with an image of an eye. I also got a picture of a pygmy marmoset and used the magic wand tool to select the background and delete it. Next I copied the iris and pu-pil then overlayed it to make it bolder. After this I added the monkey into the pupil and changed the layer to luminosity. Finally I overlayed and blue layer to change the color of the entire image.

W. GIBSON GD2 13

Composing a SceneD E S C R I P T I O N

(7 x 6 inches)This project was an in-class tutorial to teach us how to create a scene from various images. I began by cutting out a portion of the fence that needed to be in front of the farmer using the polygon lasso tool, then pasted it on top of him to show that he was behind the fence. This brought his tool behind the fence so I did the same thing and pasted on top of the fence. Finally I copied the layer, added a gaussian blur, then created a layer mask to fade th background out.

14 GD2 W. GIBSON

Layer Masking with AnimalsD E S C R I P T I O N

(14 x 10 inches)This was one of my favorite projects in class. The goal was to create one animal out of two different animals using layer masks. I began with the image of a lion. Next I added an image of a Pomeranian dog and created a layer mask to only show the face. After this I used the free tronsfrom tool to match it up to the lions face. Finally I added a duplicate of the lion to the top of the dog and made another layer mask to blend them better.

W. GIBSON GD2 15

Layer Masking with AnimalsD E S C R I P T I O N

(12 x 8 inches)This is the projet that I enjoted most during Grephic Design 2 this semester. This was another photomanipulation using layer masks. I began with the image of the black and white hand. Next I placed a picture of a killer whale on top of the hand and created a layer mask. I desaturated the image of the whale to match with the original black and white hand photo. Finally I added a duplicate of the hand, made a layer mask from it, and blanded the images.

(6 x 4 inches)This was our final project using the Adobe program InDesign. Our goal was to create an amission ticket that would appeal to the group of people that listen to the artist/attened the event. In this project I used Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for my images and the artist title. Everything on this was made by my except for the Bouble Tee Concerts logo and the Red Cube Productions banner.olorrores essit

(7.25 x 9.75 inches)This project was our introduction to Adobe InDesign. In this we needed to create a magazine ad using different marketing tools including this like certain words, grid layouts, and white space. This is the final version of 5 different templates that I made for this magazine de-sign. I chose this one because in my opinion it captures the readers attention to the main image of the vehicle.
