Andy Warhol Style

For this assignment, I choose to use the most recent photo of myself taken off of Facebook. When we first started this assignment I was very confused and didn't know how to do anything! After fiddling around with the tools I found the threshold adjustment and finally got a start on my assignment. Cutting the background out was easier then I thought it was, ever since Mrs. Reidel taught the class about the 'Magnetic Lasso Tool' deleting things have become easy. I used to use the magic wand and take forever to remove a background !After picking out my colours, I realized that you can only hold two colours at once. I solved this problem by opening a word document and saving the code and opacity of the colour. At the end of it all, I am very satisfied in the outcome! :)

Karina's Advent Poster

Keeping Christ in Christmas

For our assignment, also known as our 'Advent Poster' I decided to create a mixed theme. One of the themes used for my poster is the beach in the winter time. I choose the beach because when you look out at a beach, you can't see the other side. It makes you wonder what’s out there, or what’s out there for me? It also shows that Christmas is coming soon, and that is the time of advent. There is a girl standing looking out at the beach in summer clothes. I choose to add her in the photo because it makes the picture have more meaning. It seems as if she's been wondering ever since summer, instead of winter. It has more meaning because she is looking out into the beach and there is also a picture I have added in of a cross. It is meant to portray that the girl is looking out into the beach and thinking and wondering about Christ out lord. I choose Luke 2:10-11 ''Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord,'' because since you can't see the girls facial expression it could look like she's afraid, hopeful and waiting for

Christ the Lord.
