It's a secret...

One of my friends signed me up into a secret group on Facebook. It's so exciting! It's an art group and we talk about art. Most of the people there I don't know and some have DeviantArt pages. I have a page there too, but don't do much on it. I mostly use it to look at other art. 

Here are a few projects I did in my beginning Photoshop class this quarter but never did post them. I don't know why, ok?

This first picture was done on a Wacom tablet,

Wacom tablet

 which I wasn't very good at using because I lack hand-eye coordination mostly because I don't play video games, I think. But by the end of class I was getting the hang of it. I drew this garden lady.

And this picture is using some sort of perspective framing deal on Photoshop that I have now forgotten how to use. It's ok, I still have my notes so I'm sure I can figure it out again, if needed.

For my final project in Typography Expression and Experimental class, I designed a font and a poster for it. We got our critique today and my poster design wasn't so good. The font was fine, but the poster sucked. So after class I played around with a few ideas that were thrown out there and designed this and turned it in:

the font poster had to have: the name of the font, the designer (me!),
the alphabet, a pangram, and a paragraph in 12 point font or smaller.

Then my classmate was telling me how much he liked my font and how many ideas he had to play around with it. I gave him my font file to download onto his computer and within a few minutes he had made a face with my letters then he designed this poster for funsies: 

He originally had the little lady - who he designed using my letters - in the middle of the page, but he moved a bunch of stuff around and kept playing with it. I thought it was cool and took it as a huge compliment that another student would do this with something I designed!

Now I just have two more class this week for finals then a week off! yay me!

oh, also, I was mentioned in someone else's blog in case you wanna take a look:
