PIG ART

THE CONCEPT: I wanted to create a unique picture. I had different ideas, and tried them all, but this idea with the rubix cube and pig seemed to work perfectly. I also decided to use a filter that made the overall picture look as if it were a cartoon so that it would look more cute and childlike.

THE TECHNIQUE:
First, I used the magic wand to delete the actual colours of the rubix cube. Then I coloured in the cube with the pink colour of the pig. I took the pig picture and used the magnetic lasso tool to cut the pig's head, legs, and tail. Then, I attached each of these onto the rubix cube to make it seem as if the cube was the pig's body. I used the angled strokes filter on the pig, to make it look like it was hand drawn. I then added the farm, clouds and sun. I painted over it so that when I put the filter on top, it would be more effective and have more texture. I used the ink outlines filter on top of the farm, clouds, and sun. Lastly, I created the sky by painting three layers of different blues and then added the graphic pen filter on top. I noticed that the different colours of blue turned out to be all the same blue when the filter was added, but decided to leave it the way it was. I was satisfied with the overall outcome of the pig art because it turned out exactly how I pictured it.

ALBUM COvERS

This album cover is for Katy Perry's Firework. It has plenty of colour and really attracts the eye. I put Katy Perry a little bit off center on purpose so that you could also see the fireworks. The only thing I wish I could change is the colour of the title "Firework" because the dark blue blended in in the black background and therefore, it was not very visible.

The second album cover was for Rihanna's Disturbia. The cover was very simple but I think it had a lot of impact. It looked creepy which really fit the title. I like how her eyes also stand out against all of its grey and colourless surroundigs. I placed Rihanna's face on the left side instead of the centre to make it look interesting and make the eye tavel somewhere other than just the centre.

The thrird cover was for Kanye West's Robocop. This album cover has a kind of wierd, cartoon feel to it. It really interprets the title because there is a robotcop right in the middle. At first, I put the background as city streets but later on decided to go with a club background. I think having the club background adds colour and makes it more unique. I think having the streets background is just to plain and boring while having thr club background is out of the oridinary.
