Bullying Project

For this picture I layered a photo of a girl on her phone onto  plain background, I then used the gradient tool to fade the bottom into back. I then Layered the silhouette of a falling man on top and erased the background. I got a picture of bright orange smoke and then changed it from "normal" to "negative" which got rid of the white background and turned the flame blue. I did this three times and layered them on top of each other to swirl from the phone to the falling person. I found a bright orange heart and changed it to negative in order to delete the back ground and make the heart a nice shinny teal to match the swirl. I after this I added the bottom slogan and faded it out while adding on the blue glow around it. I used the eye dropper to pick up the color from the swirl and used it as the font color for the main statement. After that I added a very close and fuzzy black outline. With these elements combined I have contrast with the bright blue on top of black and white, It has alignment because of the words being stacked upon each other, repetion because of the consistant use of blue, and proximity because of the way everything is placed around each other. The message of this poster is that even though you dont see the person directly, the words you are sending out through your phone or computer can seriously hurt someone. It says "send" them down because you are sending messages out over social media or texting.

four elements of design

Proximity: The apple cores are in a good proximity of each other and they are in a pair to you can see a persons face between them

Contrast: The glowing white is a strong sontrast against the white background.

Alignment: The apple cores are in line together and then the words bellow are aligned right in the middle of the apple cores and are directly on top of them.

Repetition: There is repetition because there are two apple cores that are completely the same.

Copy write

1. I already knew that copy right kept people from steeling other peoples images, ideas or businesses
2. It surprised me how it is so strict and the process you have to go through to use a copy writed image 
3. I think the law is only partly fair. I agree that it is good to keep people from steeling other peoples ideas however I think its really illogical that people on youtube cant like cover a song, or post a lyrical video of a song without getting in trouble. I believe that if the person clearly states that this is not their own work then the law shouldn't apply. I think often times copy write laws prevent art from being shared among people and that is a shame 

TEXT

I placed some font onto the picture and made the size 350. I then made it bold and black. When I highlighted the words, it made them white again made made the back ground opposite colors. I thought this was really cool so i screen shotted it and kept it like that

Naming and Renaming layers

I renamed each layer to have a fitting name and then i moved and shaped them to fit together

Crops 1, 2, and 3

screen shot of photoshop work space

For this work space I moved certain panels over so that they would be easier to get to. I also added in just a normal blank sheet to work with, over top of this I drew my initials with the pencil tool in red, making each piece a different layer. With the layer panels I turned the opacity of the C down.
