Bateman,+Alison

Hi, my name is Alison and I just started at Metahcton this year as a sophmore. I moved from Montreal, Canada. I like playing soccer and basketball and watching hockey. Montreal, Canadians! I love ice cream and photoshop.

**Four Boxes **

I found that putting the smaller boxes on top of the bigger boxes was very successful. I like how the soft light made it look. Also, I find the gradient on both size boxes adds to the soft light.



**Two Point City **

I tried to make my city symetric. I wish I would have been more creative with my theme but overall I liked how it turned out. if I were to redo it I would try and add more pictures from the internet.

** Newimal **

I breeded a flamingo and a giraffe. It is called a gamingo. The giraffe is my favorite animal and I like the color of the flamingo and the long neck worked well with the long neck of the giraffe. I used the magnetic lasso tool because I find it is the easiest selection tool to use. I like the way it turned out and I like this project and I would like to make another newimal.

Clones

I really enjoyed this project! I love the final product! I used the magnetic lasso because I find that is the best tool for selecting. If I had clones of myself I would have them do my homework so I could have more time to hang out with my friends and play soccer.

**Surrealism** For this project I made a room in space. The picture I took of the big window and its shadows was my inspiration. I really like how the door and window looking at the sky turned out and how I was able to distort them to make them look like they were on the walls. I think that the moon I added also turned out really well.

Brushes I really liked this project and trying out all different kinds of brushes. For this particular one I used circle brushes which are the background as well as splatters. The the smaller blue koleidascope brushes are the contrast principle. Emphasis was the other principle of design I used and I emphasized the large black kaleidoscope.







Photo Touch-Up I learned how to change the colors of specific parts of a picture, which i have always wanted to know how to do. I also learned how to clean up people's skin with the healing brush tool and gaussian blur.



Pop Art I choose Sophia Bush because she is in one of my favorite shows, one tree hill and one of my favorite movies, The Hitcher. It was really hard to find a good quote from her but I liked this one because it was short and simple. I really like the way my project turned out the the way pop art looks over all.



Room Makeover I made a bedroom because I was able to add more bright colors with the bedding and carpet. I took the big windows out because I don't think of bedrooms having a wall of windows. I choose to use all different values of purple because the bed I choose already had that color scheme.
