Two Fruits-Dragor

Dragorange

In order to make my Dragorange I had to find a dragon fruit on Google and save it to my computer.  Then I found an orange and cropped it with the lasso tool and coyped it. Next I pasted it in the window that had the dragon fruit open. I used the skew tool to make it fit inside the dragon fruit. Then I named it Dragorange!

Skylar's Picography Panda

This is my panda for the picography project. In order to do this I had the find a panda cupcake save it to my file, open my picture on fireworks, then use the lasso and wand to to delete everything around the panda. Then I copyed  and paste the original picture on the same window I had open with the cropped panda. Then I shrunk the cropped panda to be the size I want, making it its own layer. Then I moved the panda where I want it then pressed the Alt key to duplicate the photo. The blurry pandas where a mistake but its better this way. Then I saved it as a JPEG and I'm done.

Skylar Zelenko's Business Card

For my unprofessional I used the black swan except I changed mine to have a  flower background. In order to do this I went on to Google and found a photo then I  saved to my file and opened a new plate with the flowers. I selected the photo and pressed Ctrl+C. then I did the same to the swan and went up to edit and clicked on "Paste Inside." Then I added the address and title changed my fonts down below and the font color. All of these things were in different layers also.

This light pink one is my semi-professional business card. I added the swan once again, except this time I added an outer bevel and changed the texture to "Parchment" with a rectangle gradient. After that I added another two layers for the address and email and the title. I changed both of the font fonts so they stand out equally as much and changed the font size for the title to be bigger.

This one is my professional business card. I added  the black swan and turned it white as kind of an ironic situation and then I turned my background black. I made a layer for my swan and named it swan then I added two more layers. In one of the layers I put the title "Black Swan Graphic Design." I changed the font and the font color and size to stand out. Then for my final layer I added the address and email to be more of a crisp font.

Typography of John Adams_Skylar Zelenko

                                 
















In order to make this typography  portrait of John Adams I had to do the following. First I found a picture of John Adams as a boy and saved it to my folder then opened it on Fireworks. Then I made a layer for the picture itself. I opened a word document and found lots and lots of words and various quotes to described him. He was the second president of the United States and his face is one the 500 dollar bill. I opened new layers for each sentence or word that I did for him so I could be organized and it makes it easier to correct or find things. To add these words I chose a text box, typed the words inside, adjusted my font size and boldness, then pressed Ctrl+Shift+P then pressed Ctrl+Shift+G. By clicking these I converted the words and then ungrouped them, so that each letter was an individual. Afterwords I placed each letter where I wanted it to be on his face then adjusted the color to be the same color as his face. This takes time and effort but it all pays off.

Skylar's Butterfly

First I made one layer with a square turned it purple, made a second layer, turned that blue, made a third and turned it turquoise. Then I mad three stems with a green pencil, and added stars at the top. To make my stars I selected the star option moved the points around and changed the colors. I pressed ctrl+alt to multiply the stars and put about 10 on each stem. I repeated this again except this time I put them else where and changed the size with the skew tool. I did the same exact thing to make the sun except I made the stroke thicker and yellow. to make the butterfly I made two circles, moved the points around and put an outer bevel on it. Next I added another circle to the middle with the same effects. Then I put alien fluid slaptters in the corners, doughnuts in the middle, and top and bottom corners. Next I placed Two black swirls at the top to represent the antenna. Each one of these separate objects had there own layer.

Skylar's Spot Colors

In order to make this image look the way it looks I had to do the following. I saved this picture with all the colors off google on to my file, then I opened them on FireWorks. I used my polygon lasso tool to outline the middle pink flower. I pressed Ctrl+Shift+I(selects the outside) and went to command, then creative, then sepia tones.

For this project, we were told to make one landscape picture. I chose one of  the most beautiful ones I could find. In order to make this I had to used both my lasso tool to make one big circle glob around my water. Next I pressed Ctrl+Shift+I to select whats around my circle rather than whats inside. I changed my selected area to a sepia tone. Once I was done with that I grabbed  my wand tool to select every area other than the blue water then changing them to sepia tone. Now that's how I used my tools to create this image.

Original Below

This image was rather easy but beautiful to make. First I placed the original on my canvas, then used my lasso tool to select around pink book. Next I pressed Ctrl+Shift+I to select outside of the book and chose a sepia tone.Then I went in with the wand tool and selected all the colors other then pink and converted them to a sepia tone(which didn't make much of a difference).

 

In order to do this, I used the lasso tool to circle the tree, made the backround sepia tone. After that I Went in my tree with my wand tool and try to select everything but the leaves and change it to a sepia color.

Skylar Zelenko's Alphabet/Font

Zelenko Font

In order to make this font, I made a canvas 8"x10" with a resolution of 200. I made 26 layers and named one by one Aa, Bb, Cc, Ect. My starting font was "Aharoni" until I changed each of the letters to more of a definition font. I selected my "Skew Tool(Q)" and moved around my points to make it the way it looks. In able to make each uppercase letter with its lower case letter I pressed "Ctrl+G". For my stroke I selected "Viscous Alien Paint" and put a inner bevelment on each letter. I sized each letter to fit my canvas and typed the name of my font at the bottom with my font. Zelenko.
