AG Photography Portfolio_webiste

 

 

 

 

I think this website is effective, because it is attractive.  The colors and shapes POP.  I used contrasting colors and utilized my logo for branding. I think it gives some depth with the shadows and layers.  It keeps it interesting.  I used several masks, shadows, gradients, some of the new brushes, opacity, cloning, and strokes. I tried to keep the format simply and easy to follow as well as keep it bright and cheery.  I think it really captures the essence of my work and who I am as an artist.  I really look forward to your input as I am planing on using this as my live portfolio / website and would love your feedback.  Thank you it has been great working with all of you in this class.

Portfolio

This project was alot of fun, because I am using it to actually develop my portfolio for real.  So I would really love any input. I think it is effective because I think it will show who I am and give the person some insight to who I am and what style of photography and editing I am capable of. 

I am very interested in any feedback you can give me.  Thank You!

Recycling E-Card Final

Front Cover

 

 

Inside Page

 

Back Page

 

I think this is effective because it is simple, and it reminds people that plastic can go alot farther than the dump.  Recycling can extend the life of plastic a long time, and there are alot of ways to reuse plastic.  Hope you like it. I look forward to your feedback.

 

 

Front Cover:  Photo of landfill, added a slight blur to remove some of the detail of the garbage.  Then I added some black and white layer to the background with a grain.  I felt this helped obscure the photo a bit, still giving you a sense of a landfill, without all of the details.  I added some to the photo on the right so I had more of an image on the right.  I needed more photo.   Masked out the background of the bottles, and added some contrast and lighting to bring attention to them.  I also played with the gamma correction on the bottles a bit.  I added a mask over the big bottle to obscure the brand and drew a face on it, crying.  The text I added a slight drop shadow.

The Inside page:  Started with a basic green background. I added a yellow circle with a faded glow to draw attention to the bottles.  I masked out the background of the bottles and boosted the vibrance a little.  I added the thought bubbles with a small stroke.  Found photos of each some plastic recycled end product to give the consumer ideas of what recycled bottles can become instead of sitting in a landfill.  Each photos has an inside bevel, to give it the appearance of looking in.

The Back page:  I played around with text size and also added a stroke to the text.  I added the recycling chart as a guide to encourage people to recycle.  Then I added a recycling symbol, with a 50 % opacity, to obscure it a bit.

Hope you like it!

recycling E Card

 

Below are some concepts for the E card.  I have decided to go with recycling.  We are big into recycling at my house, and it is something everyone can do, and we can make a difference!  We just need to promote more how it helps and what it creates.
