Craft: This image wasmade using Adobe Illus-trator. I used different color lldepending on which color wasselected with the eyedroppertool. To trace the shapes, wehad to follow 4 steps. Firstwe had to select the layerwe wanted to be in. Then wegrabbed the pen tool and startmaking the shape and makeit transparent. We then chosethe color we wanted with theeye dropper and lled it in. Fi-nally we locked it and made itinvisible. Lastly I used variousIllustrator Effects to distort theoriginal image. More speci-cally I used scribble for this

image.

Concept: The assignmentfor this week was to ei-ther choose a picture or takeone ourselves. Whatever

The Beast

Derrick Rosepicture we chose we had totrace. I decided to choose apicture off of Google Imagesbecause I wanted to trace apicture of Derrick Rose and Iwouldnt be able to take onemyself. We then had to takethe image we created andmake different variations ofthat image. The image that Ichose to trace is a very recog-nizable basketball superstarso for my variations I decidedto make it as unrecognizableas possible while still resem-bling the original image.

Composition: This image isa trace of Derrick Rose,the Chicago Bulls point guard,standing in front of a concretewall. I distorted the image us-ing an Adobe Illustrator effect.

Craft:To complete my variations I usedmany different tools and techniques.

I first played around with the outlineof the shapes by selecting everythingin the image and adjusting the out-lines color, thickness, and style. NextI played with the colors in the image

by adjusting the palette the colorguide function in the windows dropbox. You can see how adjusting thecolor palette can completely alter the

image and its message.

Concept:My concept evolved through experi-

Purple Snail

ment. I basically just fooled around withtons of different ways to alter my originalillustration. When I had several to com-pare I noticed two that really resonatedwith me, the very subtle black on black

image and the wavy background image.These two variations made me think aboutlife and my personal life si tuations.

Composition:I had as much freedom in my compo-sitions as I pleased. My compositionchanged for each variation, sometimes itchanged drastically other times maybe

one aspect of the variation was changed,but each is still different form the origi-nal illustration. This made it very easy tofocus on how the composition could en-hance my concept and control the viewers

eye.

Craft: I used the original picture and

put a black box a black radial gradient

on it and toned the transparency down

to 86%

Concept: This is what I titled tunnel

vision. I made it because I wanted to

focus on on the subject rather than the

background but I wanted the back-

ground to show through just a tad

CharlieComposition: I am focusing my view-

ers eyes on the subject. The subject

being Charlie. I want the viewers to

rst look at his face and then the shirt,

they can then let their eyes roam and

focus on the semi viable background

CraftThough this may appear to be a very complex illus-tration, it didnt take much to make this variation.I selected all of the elements of the table and oorand I changed the paint stroke type of the two. Ithen selected the dog elements and changed thebrushstrokes to pt .5 and I gave it a different paintbrush stroke type than the table and oor.

ConceptI wanted to make the dog stand out in this picturewhile still making every element of the pictureinteresting. Even though the oor and table areblurry, they still have a nice affect that eventuallycaptures the observers eyes. I also wanted to give

RestingDog

the dog a more illustrated appearance.

CompositionThe rst thing I see when I look at this picture is thdog. The next thing I see is the oor because the comakes it stand out. i see the tabl last because the licolors between it and the dog makes it blend in a b

Craft: This was a photo that was taken a few

weeks ago. I took it into to adobe Illustrator

and traced it piece for piece from ceiling

to floor to barre to her foot to working

up to the top of her hand. I used the eye

dropper to pull in t he skin/shoe/wall/etc.

color for each area that was different from

the others. The change in this was lines

were brought in and changed the color of

the stroke to a patter and the thickness of

the line was increased. Concept: This was

chosen because of the stroke pattern. It

continued the patter throughout the whole

piece although each line was not connect-

Over GrOwn PassiOn

ed to one another. It crops the picture in

its own way. It only shows part of her face

and really controls what the viewer sees.

Composition: The first thing the viewer

sees is the pattern and it takes their eye all

around the picture. The second thing the

viewer sees is the yellow the looks as if it is

creeping up her face which crops it nicely

to reveal only part of the expression on the

face. The third is the hidden barre behind

her that has the most chunk of the pattern

in the whole piece.

Concept

From the title I wanted

to reference the famous

line from the film Cas-

ablanca, but I wanted

to not say it verbatim

because I think that

line is really creepy

in its full context

Heres to looking at

you kid. For some

reason the line justcame to me, when I

was trying to think of

variations. I wanted

to convey the feeling

of the film, which had

a classical Hollywood

romance style. Meaning

soft focus, warm col-

ors (if colored), and

shadow play.

Composition

The shake is still

front and center, as in

the original, except I

cut out the hideously

The Shake

distracting green table

and swopped it out for

a smooth salmon/bur-

gundy gradient. This

makes the eye focus

on the shake or its

shadow, which is on

the left side because

the right side of the

shake is lighter, thus

creating an illusion

of light source. Themain attraction is the

whip cream on the top

(no longer looks like

clean whip cream, but

the brain still pro-

cesses it as whip cream

because of added con-

text of the cherry and

two spoons) because it

is the warmest area of

the image. The mixing

color values, blood red

cherry, and two spoons

(two people) creates a

sort of abstract no-

tion of sex.

Craft- As usual for this project I used

Adobe Illustrator, but this time I used

the mouse instead of the Wacom Bam-

boo tablet and stylus. To accomplish

this drawing I used the pen tool and

created lots of shapes to create what

you are seeing.

Concept- The concept for this drawing

is to take the pen tool and make a pho-

to of my wife and little cousin look as

real as possible. Below this image their

are variations of the drawing I have not

come up with a series that I will do for

My Wife, My Lifethe variations but I choose these because

they seem interesting to me.

Composition- This image is of my wife

and my little cousin who was our flower

girl. When a View sees this image the

hope is that they can understand what is

going on in the image. What I see may

be different because I was there. This

was taken in front of my mother-in-laws

house on our wedding day.

MySaint,MySavioCRAFT: Adobe Illustrator was the main program Iused to do these different variations of my originalcreation. I used the stroke to add emphasis andcolor to the shapes i made originally using the pentool in Ai. Using other tools like the gradient tool,

I was able to make a halo on the image (bottomright) to give her an almost holy aura. I used therectangle shape tool to hide the background andthe other two fgures while adding transparency sothey wouldnt be blacked out entirely.CONCEPT & COMPOSITION: : Wanting to showhow my aunt is one of the most important peoplein my life and who is often there for me when I feelIm in a slump. In ways she is my saint, my saviorwho helps me through the darkness by her radiat-ing light. Thus is why the background is darkened

but not fully to give the effect she is glowing andlighting up the place. Every single one of these

variations has a different concept to them and it isemphasized by the way they are arranged by color,shapes, gradients and strokes. Depending who orwhat is my priority or want to emphasize, I adjustevery factor possible. Adjusting the transparencyhelps so much as well when you dont one some-thing either hidden fully by a shape or if you justwant something to pop without blinding the viewer.

All SmilesCraft: Creating this illustration was through theprogram of Adobe Illustrator. This is a variationpiece from an original illustration created throughthe use of the pen tool and paint tool in AdobeIllustrator. In creating this particular variationof the original the paint used more than the pentool, since I was not going to alter this piece in thefuture, I decided to only use the paint tool, and itconsiderably made it easier and less time consum-

ing to create the overall shapes of the backgroundin comparison to the original illustration withcreating the images with full shapes and a connectthe dots and use of layers. The Use of layers inthe original did make it easier to make variationsbecause I could take away and add backgroundwithout altering or covering up any of the mainfigures.

Family FirstCRAF: I made this picture using the Illustrator pro-gram. o create this picture, I tracedthe original pic-

ture to give it that cartoon eect. I used the pen tool todraw the dierent shapes in the picture. i then used theeye dropper tool to take the color o that specic spot.Tis is one out o ten variations I have made. I used the

Scribble Eect to give it the actual look as i I scribbledon the whole picture.

CONCEP: Tis variation I believe is one o the best. Imade this or the assignment o racing. We were chal-

lenged to create the original picture my tracing many o

the dierent shapes that made up the complete picAlso we were challenged to create dierent variati

the same photo.

COMPOSIION: I am trying to control the vieweeye by having them being able to see the oregrou

rst, which is my ace. Te second part I would likviewer to see is the middle ground, which is my soace. Te last thing they wi ll see is the backgroundously.

Pouring RainCraf- For this specic picture I usedthe pen tool and the eye dropper tocreate the image. Every little detailwas created by dierent shapes that

captured the light o the image. Tebackground I used eects such asscribble which is what appears to belike rain on the background.

Composition-Te eect o the scribblein the background brings out my sistereven much more. Her head pops out asa 3D image. Te lines on t he back-ground make the viewer look rst at

the little girls head and then the viewgoes to her lips since its put out theremore. Afer the view goes to the back-ground acknowledging the eect that

creates to the picture.

Concept- Te concept is that my sisteris at a park and a ll o a sudden is rain-ing. Te background is much covered

with the eect o scribble and it lookslike its pouring rain.

BESTCraft: The only thing that was done to this image

was in the effect menu I went to the Photoshop op-

tions and I chose to change the artwork to a sketch.

Now it looks like a drawing instead of something

created on the computer. For somebody who didnt

know about this project might think that it was

crafted in a totally different way then it really was.

Concept: The concept in this one change because

instead of it being an image of a football player in a

stadium it looks more like a football player looking

into a football stadium through stained glass. I alsoused the Photoshop effects for this piece. It was a

option for stained glass but instead of applying it

to entire piece I locked all the layers that had to do

with the football player and applied it to the back-

ground layer. So that is why only the background

has the stained glass effect.

Composition: When playing around with the effects of

my final image and other tools and techniques, I tried

to decide which ones were effect as far as craft, com-

position, and concept. This particular image I think

the composition was affected the most, because origi-

nal there was a goo balance between the foreground

and background. By that I mean the background did

not take over the picture and the foreground did not

as well. Now after recoloring the artwork I dont find

myself looking at the background much at all besides

the other guy in the image. So the focus becomes allabout the football player, especially with the really

bright yellow in the uniform.

The Future of Football

This is my favorite variation that I have done so far. I still

have some work to do on other variations putting some

color in and am working on those but so far this one is

my favorite. I did this by using the sharp eect tool, then

I used the stand glass eect tools, then i used the painted

edges eects. I really like the way that this drawing loo

i called it the future of football because it reminds me

of futuristic movies and i feel like this is how the NFL

will look in twenty years. It also make the image look

distorted but i like that about it.

G.O.A.TAter doing the 5 variations o the original image, I be-lieve this one portrays the most to me. I used severalAdobe Illustrator tools. First, I used the rectangle tooland drew a black cover over the image. Then I usedthe gradient tool, and changed it rom linear to radial.

Then I isolated it to the basketball and altered thetransparency to give the basketball a glow and the resto the image a darkness to it.

I want the viewer to frst see the glowing ball. Thereason behind the glowing ball is that my avoritemovie o all time is Space Jam. In this movie, there isa glowing ball with powers. Jordan is in this movie, so

I thought it would be a good idea to show an image ohim with a glowing ball and see i anyone can fgureout the signifcance o it. The second thing I want theviewer to see is the NBA on the basketball. Its easilyvisible due to the glowing o the basketball. The thirdthing I want the viewer to see is the dark, aded im-

age o Jordan in the background. Its a great contrastbetween the glowing and the darkness.In terms o composition, the main thing that

catches my eye is obviously the glowing basketball.The use o the radial gradient and transparency givesthe glowing ball an even more impacting eect by us-ing a dark background.
