Marriage Equality

This is my Sequential Imagery project. I decided to do it on Marriage Equality, not only because the fight for it is dear to my heart but also because it is the civil rights movement of our generation. I really wanted to make sure that the fight for marriage equality isn't just a fight for marriage equality but is also a movement that wants equal rights for everyone. My background was originally going to be a rainbow honeycomb style but, quite by accident, the default brush that selected displayed in an almost fractal pattern and I accidentally clicked it and liked what I saw. I used the brush in different colors to represent the many different people and backgrounds involved in this movement.

Lastly the image of the female couple protestors was the one that took me by surprise when I found it, I loved it and decided to give it a soft, almost dream-like glow to represent what the movement is all about...love.

Abuse PSA poster

This is my assignment for a class to do a poster. I chose to do a PSA poster about abuse. This project went through many different iterations and I finally settled on this one as my final copy. I felt that the blood on the fairytale book was a great way to pronounce the violence of abuse and the effect it has. The hardest part of this assignment was definitely getting the blood stains the way I wanted them to look...I went through a couple different styles and settings until I came to the faded out background with the blood as colored as an attempt to draw your eye to the blood immediately. 

Updated Photomontage

Well it's been like a month of frustration but after finally getting everything on my computer working right I finally have my photomontage. I originally wanted to do a "ghostly dancers" type of image but after losing my original progress I opted for the dancers in a childs hands. I also had a drawing layered underneath in the background, I originally wanted it to be behind the hands, but after rearranging it I was unable to find an aesthetically pleasing spot for the dancers that wasn't blocked by the hands so I opted for a very lightened "tattoo" of them over the outstreched hands representing the love of dance being "tattooed on the persons skin" as it were.
