Top 3 Blogs

• http://rubinoan.edublogs.org/
• Allie’s blog was really good!  She described everything that she did in detail and the page it’s elf looked good and was very organized.
• http://conner1324.edublogs.org/
• Conner’s blog was very different from allies and it reflected his work a lot.  He didn’t describe it a lot but I thought that was cool so you could interpret it yourself.
• http://ashli3.edublogs.org/
• I really liked Ashley’s blog because she had a lot to look at and I loved her background and she described everything really well and it looks like she worked really hard on it.

Top 3 projects.

• http://rubinoan.edublogs.org/2010/06/11/project-7-self-evaluation/
• Allie’s light graffiti was so cool!!  I didn’t even know that you could do that and now I really want to find out more about it ad hoe it works.
• http://conner1324.edublogs.org/2010/05/24/project-6/
• Conner had this really cool project where he made the brush strokes glow.  On one project I was working on I wanted to that but didn’t know how so it’s cool that Conner could figure it out.
• http://ashli3.edublogs.org/2010/05/24/self-evaluation-6/
• Ashley did so well on this project and I love how she out it together.  All the pictures that she chose look good together and all have once concept.

It’s not exactly how I want it but it’s close so I might tweak it a bit here and there, enjoy(:

Here is one for John Wayne’s birthday on May 26th.

It’s not fully finished but here it is!

Here is one for some sort of Simpson’s anniversary.  This also not fully finished either.

I really really really liked making the Google logos.  It was very creative compared to just following a tutorial.  I could pick a day or event I wanted to use and do whatever I wanted with it!  Here are two of my favorites.

Elvis’ Birthday January 8th

Memorial Day May 31st

I worked really hard on these and a few others and hope you like them!

This time in photoshop I did harder, longer, and more complicated tutorials.  I did 3 and a half tutorials and here is my favorite.  Here I aged Jennifer Anistonand I think that it turned out really well!  I used the warp tool a lot, the liquify tool and a few others.  The blending mode helped a lot to make her hair grey too.  I think that it turned out really well and so did my other 2 and a half.

For project 5 I worked in photoshop again and just did really fun tutorials and stuff.  I learned A LOT about the liquify tool and tool and it’s really cool and helpful when you have to morph shapes to each other.  I think I did a good job on this project and had a lot more fun than I did o my last one.  I did a couple pretty cool tutorials and worked hard!(:

Here’s one that I did that I wan to continue working on later cause it’s not finished yet.
