Surreal Practice Tutorials



We did so many different kinds of things becuase they were a little easy although the steps were long. We tried to blend everything together so that I can seem as if it was real. We put down a drop shadow and we just changed the color of the eye and the desert and we tried to make it seem real like blend two different colors together. We put clouds together and blended some stars and made them a little lighter to make it seem as if that is how the sky was. This will help me out on my surreal artwork because we have pretty crazy things in our dreams and the things are the same as like the desert and just something random in them.

Art Show "Stand Strong"


My artwork is about me and the struggles that some people that I know are going through. How they should keep themselves from falling down and to help you to stand strong and not fall. That is what will make us strong all of the struggles that we go though on in life. Our struggles make us stronger so that we become a better person on in life. It tells me that I should look at all of my struggles and know that they are the things that made me the type of person who I am right now. I picked this picture because everyone goes through all kinds of struggles although they make it seem as it’s the end of the world although we must keep our heads held high. I like this picture because it makes you think about the struggles that you have had and the way that you handled them.It makes you a stronger person and to let you know that you can handle anything that comes in your path.

Graduation Program


The strength for my design I think would probably be the way that I made it simple and it's not so crazy like other peoples it is. You can tell that it is a graduation program becuase it has a graduation hat and a diploma. You can also tell that it is from Cesar Chavez High School becuase of the pegasus in the back of the program. I could have put a picture to not make it look so plan and ugly like that and so that it is a little more interesting. It was a lot harder than what I thought because its hard to find something that the person would like and especially not being able to really know what they would like to see. The most important parts would be the pictures and the letters because they are supposed to catch your attention the most. Graphic design plays a huge role in society because they use it for mostly anything even for colleges, movies, television shows, soup operas, television ad and for selling all kinds of things.

Si Se Puede and Academic Letters




The strength in my design for my Academic Letters was the angle that I took the picture from and the way that I gave other people the prspective of how the students look at the school and the way that the words are put together in a different style. I could have been more creative with the picture in my Si Se Puede program because its simple and its a little crazy. I struggled the most with the pictures for both of the programs and how to put them together in order for them to look nice although creative and amazing. I think I did better on Academic Letters because its a lot nice and you can tell that I took a longer time on that then on the Si Se Puede program.
