  The reason I chose these schemes was back in high school I was the advertisement committee for events. I made cards like these often and why not put my favorite sport. Baseball has always been a passion to me and no wonder I stamp it in everything everywhere I go! 

This is my portfolio of all my work that I have accumulated throughout the whole semester. In the beginning I struggled with how to work the computer script but slowly worked hard to make good content. this class took hours to complete each assignment which in the long run which i am happy with that. it made me into a hard working student using a whole new system that i was unfamiliar with. now that i have picked these skills in this field i hope to keep exercising them and increasing to one day mastery. this will be a class i will tell my kids about one day for how much it changed my viewpoint on technology.

      For this project, I wanted to show how intricate my thoughts are while simultaneously appearing normal to the outside world. To do this, I took inspiration from the movie the Matrix, and wanted to incorporate the green lines of code into myself. In order to do this, I first cut out the background of myself, and then I overlayed half of myself with green lines, and then using the polygonal lasso, I selected half of myself, and once this was done I inverted the selection, and used the black brush tool, and placed this layer on top of myself to get rid of the lines on the background. After this, I used two layers of this, one with the hue blend mode and another with the linear dodge blend mode. The hue mode made was used to make half of my body black and white, while the linear dodge was used to increase the brightness and saturation of the lines on half of my body. After this, to link the image to the matrix more, I added the lines of code to my body, and used the difference blendi

       With this tag brush project, I started with the tag brush file that was uploaded by Professor Roundtree. After I downloaded this file, I incorporated the logo that I had previously created, and created separate layers for each of these files. Once I added both together on Photoshop, I blended the edges of my original logo with the tag brush file. I chose to do this because of activities that I was a part of when I was younger. At my school growing up, my class was able to create designs and have them put on cups and mugs. I took inspiration from that and wanted to make a design similar, and this tag brush default shared the same characteristics. Once I combined all of these aspects, this was my final result.
