Congressional Art Mockup

A mock-up is a prototype or design of the layout. The sketch illustrates a salute to the american flag even when things are bad. A pencil and notebook paper was used to create this sketch. I placed the paper on the scanner and started the canoscan software. The personal feedback I received was that my sketch was very creative. You would see the colors in the final project.

Photoshop Tutorial

This tutorial taught me how to do a text over an image. I chose this tutorial because I wanted to create a design with the Constitution over the american flag. I used Photoshop and learned new skills using overlays. I will probably modify the tutorial and add this flag a background of war or with the background of a government building. I liked how this tutorial said which parts were optional and that different colors can add a better effect. I couldn't really find anything difficult because the tutorial was easy. I would probably choose this and add something else to it and make it unique to myself.

Photoshop Tutorial

This tutorial was intended to teach me how to blend pictures and text on a brick wall. I choose this tutorial because I wanted a graffiti style artwork for my congressional art piece. I used Photoshop and I learned how to use filters and how to place images in text. I modified the tutorial for a patriotic theme. I like how it used filters because it taught me how to use filters in Photoshop. It was difficult finding out which filter was best to use. I would chose something different because it's not exactly what I wanted.
