Three Layout Concepts

Update on the portfolio site I am doing for Sharon. Out of the the 6 layout ideas for the website I decided on the first layout concept. I redesigned it to make it simpler and elegant.

Inspiration on my pinterest boards 

Here is the layout I made in Photoshop

Here is what the site is looking like now that I have started coding it.

The True Secret Of Giving Advice

"Know when to tune out, if you listen to too much advice you may wind up making other peoples mistakes."
Ann Landers

I have to admit that today started out ok, I knew I had to get certain things done today, I had planned my week so that today would be free for me to dedicate myself to my joomla site. I thought it was going to be such a productive day for me. However, no sooner had I started working on it than the frustration set in, and at this point in time, almost 1am, I haven’t really achieved a lot with the site. I have however learned that sometimes it is better to figure things out on my own! After wasting 6 hours trying to make things works on this site by doing what someone else told me I finally figured out how to do it the right way. So now I have to decide if I am going to stay up all night so the site looks good tomorrow when I meet with my professor or go to bed and hope that we go to the computer lab during my first class. I am going to bed!!!!!

Digital Painting

 More info on my pinterest boards

Digital painting differs from other forms of digital art, particularly computer-generated art, in that it does not involve the computer rendering from a model. The artist uses painting techniques to create the digital painting directly on the computer.

The Assignment:
Create an original digital painting. This needs to be an 11x17 poster, printed and mounted on the last day of class.

My Digital Painting:
I am going to do an underwater scene for my painting. Here is my mood board.

50 Awe-Inspiring Underwater Photos

Creating My Underwater Scene

I started with a line drawing, I created a simple sketch from coloring pages to make it easier to follow along. I put my sketch on the topmost layer so that I could switch it on or off as I draw, and I could always see it superimposed on my painting.

Multiplicity Rough Draft

The project is to create a believable real world photo of a person, animal or object created from multiple photos. We had to repeat the person, animal, or object at least 5 times. This is my rough draft of me watching a football game.

I was wanting my image to tell a story. Here are the images that inspired what I ended up doing:
