This project was done for the cd cover. I redid a Korn cover and utilized the rabbit and the child that were in the previous work of art but added my own twist. This was done in Photoshop with a combination of painting and digital manipulation that is seen in the walls and parental advisory poster. The heads in the jars were copied and pasted but put at different angles so they were a little different.
This was the project done for the text project. The text I made was my initials RML and were done in a greek style typeface to reflect the greek undertones in the painting. This project was done in Photoshop and was sketched out then layers of painted in areas built up. I also used a Wacom tablet to create this.
The ships, castle, moons, side of the foresty hill, waves, and crests were all digitally added in. Before the hillside was digitally redone there were houses in the side of it and roads. I copied sections and place them over with erasing parts out to help it fit in and look natural. I painted in atmospheric conditions and used the filter gaussian blur to make them appear more realistic. The typeface used here is Captain Kidd's.
The children were added in with shadows in underneath to give them weight in this world where they are chasing flying whales. The field is added in as well as the right mountain to better balance the composition. I painted in highlights on the field and mountains. The typeface is Castgate.
The three moons were added in and a low opacity erase was used to help set them into the picture. I also used the Burn and Dodge tool to lowlight and highlight certain areas. The spaceship and reflections were put in as well at a 40 percent opacity and altered. The typeface used is Trogladyte Bold.
This was done in Photoshop in the style of matte painting. The city is composed of at least four different images of cities. I painted in atmospheric conditions and edited the color settings a lot to have everything unify together. I used the transform tool to put the image onto the book cover. The typeface used is Requiem.
For my Final I chose to make t-shirt designs. My theme is shapes. I would sketch designs that were made up of shapes and that I would be able to create on the computer. I wanted to lean away from using Photoshop so the three of these shirts are done in Illustrator only. I chose these designs because they are some of the types and colors that I would buy and wear.
I decided to do skimboards for my final project. I skimboard myself and I thought it would be fun to create boards marketed toward women. Everything was done in illustrator from scratch using mostly the pen tool and playing around with color. Each board has a design on the side that curves in to lead your eye around the board. I choose to use skulls with fun and friendly scenes to juxtapose the two feelings. Skimboarding represents this juxtaposition in a way because it is a lot of fun, but can be very dangerous :) I feel like I've come a long way since the beginning of this quarter and I feel a lot more comfortable using illustrator.
For this project, I chose to design skate shoes featuring Marvel Comics characters. The three characters I chose were Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Incredible Hulk. I wanted to create Marvel themed shoes that would actually be able to wear without being made fun of. 
Ok, so here is my final project which consist of 3 surfboards each one designed in Illustrator using the pen, line, and swirl tool for the most part. Then, I took them into Photoshop and added the background of the beach from one of my vacations. Well, I hope you like it! Have a great next term!!!

We decided to base our main image around a chinese symbol. To create the symbol we used pictures of people doing karate and used the threshold tool in photoshop to create them white. We then added them to illustrator, changed their sizes and then used the brush tool around the figures. We then added the name of the school around the image. We put all the information and logo at the bottom. We were going for clean and a creative look.
I just wanted to create a bright, eye-catching, really bold poster for this. I decided not to use the logo as-is and took the dragon and integrated it into the background, as well as using some grunge vector textures I've had in a folder unused for a while.. I was kinda going for an underground kinda feel.. hopefully it works. I'm happy with it, at least..
To create the sunglasses I used the pen tool almost completely to trace my original picture. Then I used the fill tool to color my sunglasses and the gradient tool to make the lens look shaded. Lastly I added my initials to the side of the sunglasses as a logo.
