Stapleton,+Haleigh

My name is Haleigh. I'm a junior and I am a cheerleader. ☺

 I enjoyed being able to play around with all the photoshop tools in this project. I think my project was more successful because I added the rotated boxes and I added a little bit more to the background. I really enjoyed using the overlay tool and found that very useful.

 I absolutely love the Phillies. I found that using a Phillies theme was super easy for my because ideas came easily. I think adding the floating boxes in made the city look much better. I also really like the way all the photos look and I was able to add in some of my own photos as well.

They are amphibious, but prefer to stay on land. The population of the squiranha is quickly rising and will be triple the size next spring.



I actually found this project pretty easy. I'm not the biggest fan of the pictures but I think I put it

together pretty well and it works. The quote that I used it one of my absolute favorites because I feel

as though it fits me well. If I had clones I would find so many things to do with them. I would most

definately send one to work for me. I would also use them to put different outfits on to see what I

would look like before I leave to go out.



I used my life as my inspiration for my surreal project. The picture all have their own meaning and story

behind them and why I choose to put them in my project. Every picture except for the Kool-aid picture

were ones that I took. The piciture that I flipped at the top is a picture from when I was in Italy this

summer. I purposely flipped it to represent that I was on the other side of the world while my family kept

their normal life going on here. I actually really enjoyed this project because I was able to make it a goofy

picture and I feel like it represents me well.

The main principal of design that I used was asymmetrical balance. I tried to make sure the amount

of negative space balanced out the amount of positive space. I really enjoyed working on this

assignment. As soon as I found these brushes I knew that I wanted to use them somehow. The idea and

color scheme came pretty easy and I am very happy with the way it turned out.

Before and After



This project taught me a lot. I didn't know anything about photoshop before this course, and I'm happy

that I go to learn how to retouch. Retouching is what I think of when I think of photoshop.I also never

realized how easy it is to retouch pictures and how quick it can actually be.



I chose Leonardo Dicaprio because he is amazing. I also figured he would have a lot of quotes from

movies that I could use. My one friend is obsessed with him so I kind had her in mind when I was working

on this. I chose things that I figured she would choose. The quote is saying that you should take life as it

comes and not try to expect much. I really like this quote for some reason. I liked how this project was

simple yet it looks really cool when its done.



My room would be used as more of a living room or sun room. It took me awhile to come up with a theme

and I played around with it for a little, but once I chose a beach theme it was really easy. I liked this

project because I was able to be more creative and everyone's is going to be distinguisable. I think

everything in my project goes well together and I think it's a cute idea to bring the beach inside.

I found this picture of my team from last year and the idea came right to me. The picture is from Cheers for Charity and that's not really how the pyramid was suppose to go but it makes a really cool picture. The words along the top are the words that were put on our shirts that we got for having an undefeated season. The words along the bottom are a part of our cheer from last year. This team was like a family to me last year and nothing will ever be able to replace it.

When I started this project I didnt think I would really like it because I hate self portraits but I actually really like the way this turned out. The text that I used I tried to put some meaning behind them. I used quotes i like and quotes from the trip I went on this summer. I also used the names of my friends and family, my team and the people on my trip. I really did try to make this a little more personal than the other projects, and I really really like how it turned out. I think black and white it one of my favorite mediums.
