Event #1

An advertisement incorporating effects used earlier in the year to create a poster for Monarch's 2010 seniors.

iPod

A cool iPod image effect that shows a silhouette of a tennis player listening to music while playing. Could possibly used for Apple.

Fowler

Could possibly be used as an advertisement for the Killers tour, if they were to ever perform at Monarch.

Psychedelic

An iconic scene form the legendary film, "The Shining". This photo could be used in an advertising capaign for the DVD during the Christmas release, which is why I choose such contrasting colors.

Ultra Color

This literally is "ultra color", and it is of my very own car, the Pontiac Grand Prix. This image has a bright, vivid feel, and could be used by Pontiac to advertise the car, in a commercial or something. It is an eye-catcher, that is, if Pontiac were still in business.

Hard Light On Edges

A favorite scene from one of my favorite films, The Fast & The Furious. This image could've possibly been used to advertise the movie bak when it came out, like on posters. The image has an eire, cool feel to it.

Soot & Snow

The image has a light tone to it, and can't be seen very well due to the color contrast, but it does have a cool feel, and a "soot & snow" aura that makes it an interesting image to glance at.

Noir

A dark, noir image that looks great and could definitely be used to promote the Foo Fighters, seeing that the image kind of has that "rocker feel" to it. It's definitely a favorite of mine.

Expressionism

This a could certainly be used in an advertisement for Ferrari, giving kind of an dark, artistic look to the car, as opposed to the general shiny, gleamy mystique.

Super

A cool image that could definitely be used in an advertisement.

Gus

Extremely realistic looking guts, it's pretty scary.

Pumpkin

A cool effect that can transform a normal pumpkin into a scary, realistic carved pumpkin.

A cool effect that can transform a normal pumpkin into a scary, realistic carved pumpkin.

Caricature

A caricature of a famous artist, one that gives the image both a cartoonish and sketchy feel. It's odd in design, but interesting none the less.

Avant-Garde

My favorite image thus far. The creation process was simple; adding a golden tone to the car. I was made to look more like a sketch.

Chinese

The chinese animal of he year for 1991 is...a goat. Yes, this "ferocious" animal was cropped out, placed in the center of the image, and nicely decorate with paint brush effects all around.

Lichtenstein

The block and white lined art image is colored and has comic book qualities. Although, I'm not sure of what he's smoking...

Serigraph

Four images constructed individually are placed together in this image. Each is a colored stamp effect image. I was especially time consuming.

Music Poster

My favorite band in a simple image, depicted as a tour advertisement.

Statue

We have an image that looks like what it's supposed to be- a statue. The background really contrasts with the skin tone, emphasizing the central image.

Thermal Man

As if you were looking through heat sensing googles, we can see this thermal image of Clint Eastwood reiterating a timeless line.

Graffiti

Not much to ay about this one. It has that realistic tone to it, as if it were on a wall somewhere in reality. Nothing more than a two step process, but the end result is simply awesome.

Gothic Lines

Dark, gritty image that has hypnotic look to it, in my opinion. Wasn't that hard to create either just had to replicate particular effects time and time again.

Mosaic

A mosaic background topped off with some defining text. In my opinion, the image is great because of the blurred, paint-like background, and the white backdrop that really contrasts with the text. I named it Trans Am after the car, which I have a strange fondness for.

Sports

A Tennis player outlined and pasted onto the green and blue background. I like it because it looks framed, and is capturing a athlete in motion.

Broken Wall

The effect resembles a painting, and the broken wall in the back gives the image a unique touch. It reminds me of a cloudy sky.

Restaurant AD

A restaurant advertisement for Italian food lovers.

Grunge Poster

Cool glowing effect created by extracting the silhouette of an image and adding blur & brush effects to it.

Screen Blend

A screen blend of two images; one designed based, and one of a famous tennis player, Andre Agassi. I love the effect. The photo really blends together well with the background.

Fiery Text

A cool 3D effect equipped with a fiery backdrop, this "lava" image proves to be quite the eye catcher. It was simple to make, which is always a plus.

Pen Ink

I love this effect. It gives a gritty feel to the image, which is commendable, since making Clint Eastwood even grittier is no easy task.

Light Burst

Don't know what I particularly like about this one, but it has a nice effect. Created using light burst, among other things.

Punchdots

Very unique design that stands out. The punch dots cause the picture to really jump out at you.

Burst

Carries quite a "bursting" effect, doesn't it? Created using the bursting effect.

Apophysis

A beautiful image with a very unique feel to it. Technique used is known as apophysis.

Blending

A cool effect performed by blending two different images.

Oil Painting

This image, which, obviously, is supposed to represent an oil painting, looks genuine and amazing. I don't recall the process developing it to be harder than anything we've done thus far. Looking forward to doing more of these.

Sketch

My favorite image thus far; the technique that was used to create the image was easy to learn yet turns out an absolutely stunning product.

Filter Combo 2

This was a technique I enjoyed greatly. It gives the photo such a unique view. It's definitely one of my favorites.
