For the "Cartoon Yourself" project I did run into some trouble operating photoshop. But none the less I gave it a shot and went for a cyborg type look where my face had some red and blue metallic finishes with some hardware designs over my face and neck. My main issue was figuring out how to get sharper line and to get the color tone correct but I believe it still came out fairly well. Total time- 3 hours

For the logo project our goal was to create a logo for our own business. My main inspiration was using an Instagram account I have had for a bit called 'Wild Media', which I use to post pictures of cars (mostly Japanese) that I come across through friends or car meets. I simply translated "Wild Media" into Japanese and then stacked the lettering on top of each other. Then using some of my favorite color combos, I switch up different variations of the logo. Total Time- 2 hours

For the Gradient Mesh project our goal was to create an animated image of an object we took a picture of. I took a picture of my sunglasses in the library and went to work. I was pretty proud of the way the project turned out and how I was able to make the glasses look three dimensional. The hardest part was definitely making the lenses look transparent while also making them look like they had a glare from lighting in the picture. Total Time- 1.5 hours

For the self portrait project i took inspiration from a Youtube video i had found showing how to create a cartoon style image of any person you had a picture of. This was definitely my favorite project being that it came out almost exactly how I wanted. The hardest part of this project was figuring out what order to place your line and when to place the skin color so that you could shade certain parts of the face. Also getting the skin color out of the hair was difficult as well because it became apart of the background. Total Time- 3 hours.

My inspiration on my project was from the movie "Fast and Furious" and chose to put a quote from the movie into one of the most famous Japanese cars of all time, the Nissan R34 GTR. I have loved Japanese cars since I was young and especially loved the Fast and Furious films since they revolved around them. The quote says, "The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here, right now". I used this quote from the film because it speaks on one of the most important topics in anyones life; family.

I found inspiration through one of the templates we were sent and began there. I started with the largest square and worked my way in to the smallest. Then changed the colors to black and white for the visual effect. I then added the quadratic curve and changed the color. Then I added the Bezier curves to the background, and changed the line thickness of the squares to where you could see the background colors behind the square.
