social awareness

this is my social awareness poster.  It is really simple, but i thought that simplicity was the way to go with a poster that is trying to get people to relax.  I also tried changing the color of the umbrella, but this one seemed the most fitting with the picture.  The font also is very relaxed with not hard lines, and the period makes "relax" into more of a command, which I like.

fantasy

This is my favorite project so far, and this is the best outcome I have had in my opinion.  We were supposed to create a fantasy scene, so I decided to do zebras floating away in bubbles.  I used a waterdrop tutorial to get an idea of how to distort the zebras to make them look like they were in the bubble, and then used a "spectacular concept art" tutorial to get an idea of how to make the bubbles more luminous.

First, I had to find a picture with bubbles that would work for the project.  I had a few options... I obviously did not pick either of these.



















The final was between the final i chose, and a final with sparkles instead of more luminous bubbles.  

fot his one, I used this tutorial for the sparkles:http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/designing-tutorials/creating-a-fantastic-fantasy-night-sky-in-photoshop/
