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.
