Digital Artist's Canvas Proposal

I am aware that I will be evaluated on the final product and on my successful presentation of my concept or theme. I am aware that Peter must approve this project idea before I continue.

During my research, I learned that respect can bring peace in basically all aspects in life, and almost every disagreement.

Here are three ideas/topics that I have thought of:
1. Racism: Racism occurs in all countries and cities around the entire world. Whether it be racism towards black people, or racism between two different cultures. People who do not respect others for whatever, there will never be peace between everyone. If everyone, no matter what race or religion, had repect for eachother, it would bring peace between everyone and would eventually stop most of the wars around the world.

2. Gay: Many people around the world do not approve of gay couples, either between two women or two men. There are many anti-gay groups who go to gay pride parades and hold up innapropriate posters, yelling rude comments, and sometimes people even wanting to pick fights with people who are gay and want them dead. People who do not respect others for whatever, there will never be peace between everyone. I believe that if everyone agreed on gay relationships and marriages, and did not have a problem with peoples sexual orientation, then gey people would not be ashamed to go out in public together, and do not have to ask permission to get married.

3. Bullying: Every day, kids around the world are being bullied for many different reasons such as their siblings, someones background heritage, family and wealth and if people have a disabilities and who look differently. Children around the world, and even adults are killed everyday by bullying. I think that if the victim and the person who victimizes them, got along and respected eachother, there would be peace between them, and we wouldnt have gang violence around the world.

The idea I have chosen to pursue is:
1. Racism: Racism occurs in all countries and cities around the entire world. Whether it be racism towards black people, or racism between two different cultures.

I like being able to overlap images to make the picture look as real as possible. For this task, I used the magnetic lasso tool for the clouds and the plane, and brought it into the skyline picture. For the two clouds to look like the exact same, i flipped one of them horizontally so they looked like two different clouds. Then using different layers in a certain order, I set up the images where I wanted them to be. After they were in the right positions, I scaled down the pictures to make them look like the size they would really look flying over the city.

Collages With Layer Masks

I thought this task was pretty easy. You only had to find a topic and then get pictures and make a collage and blend in the pictures together. I think the only difficult task about this was blending the pictures together to make it look nice. I thought pretty much the whole thing was pretty easy to do. I might be able to use this skill in life by doing collages for assignments and maybe later in my life, I would have to do an advertising assignment.

Mads's UnReal Animal

Since this was my first time using Photoshop, I tried to keep my picture as simple as possible. For my first time using this, I found it very difficult to use because of all the tools. One tool that I really liked was the magnetic lasso tool, because it made it a lot easier to cut out the picture. I like my picture because I think my UnReal animal looks pretty real. I didn't do much else because I think my picture was a little bit difficult to add anything else without it looking really bad. Next time I use this program, I hope that I find it easier to use, and I can use the tools that are harder, and I can add more features to my next animal.
