My YearBook Cover as well as an Art Cover and Spirit Week Cover

Yearbook Cover

Theme Page (spirit week)

Art Page

Reflections
What I like most about my design is that it was easy to think of some backgrounds like, snow, lightning, and sunshine. My third one made everything blend to me including the text and the text is about fire which was funny. The design was simple and easy so the only problem was to find the right brushes, text and pictures.

What I could have improved is the creativity. In my cover for the yearbook, I think i could of used something that made the text or the picture pop out. It is also plain. Also, on the spirit week one I could have made the text blend in more. The text does pop out but it could be a little too bright. to make some things pop out i could have used more brushes or more pictures, they're too many plain spots.

What makes my design more unique and competitive to the real yearbook designs is that all of the backgrounds are made from filters, the other yearbooks are normal pictures and most of them have brushes to make them pop out. something that is unique about mine is that it's all one theme with weather but also some of the colours in mine pop out.

My Year Book Design Ideas

Some ideas for creating a year book is weather, butterflies, or a amusement park. for the weather idea I could having different kinds of weather for each on of the pages to make it jump out. for the butterflies I was thinking of making the butterflies bright but the background dark like purple. The last idea would be an amusment park. But im thinking of going with my weather idea.

My Barbara Kruger Assignment

Reflection Questions

1. What I see in my Barbara Kruger assignment is that it is a woman with a strawberry in her hands. Also, I made the picture half inverted.

2.The letters in my assignment are "Beauty is Abstract" and what that means is that beauty is in different forms. Beauty is not always the skinny people that look like a stick, it comes in any shapes and sizes.

3. To me my picture looks real good and i really like it because the picture matches the quote and the colours make the quote show more. If the lettering was red I think it could pass as a Barbara Kruger's art

Reflection for My Re-created Game of Moon Lander

What I Like Most

What I like most about my game is that the levels are the same but different. My favourite level is the third level with my creative mountain that looks like a dog. Also, to make the paraglider move matches with the whole situation. Wind and also, the paraglider moves the way the wind pushes like a real paraglider would move if they wanted to move left or right.

What I could improve

What I could improve on is how the paraglider looks. He doesn't look that real. I could have worked more on his movement and the way he looks to make him more life like. also, the way he dies. maybe like flying away or maybe flatten to the ground

How is this game an improvement upon the origional?

The game is an improvement from the original because my game is more difficult not that much but still a little difficult. also, mine is more colourful and i think the more colour they are the more cooler they become.

Re-designing Moonlander Ideas

These are some of the ideas that i have for the moon lander game:

-A kite landing in a grass field and the wind being the fuel and if the kite doesn't land properly the kite would break. Also electric wires that could destroy the kite in a jolt of electricity as a way to die in the game. the background could be a field of flowers with a mountain or a house or a city since of the electric wires.


- Or a paraglider falling in a field with water around and the paraglider would sink in the water or crash into a mountain since the landmark of the original has mountains, like the picture has it. The background has a mountain and their would be palm trees to make it harder for the paraglider to land on the landing pads. Also, with the wind also being the fuel


In the end though I am doing the paraglider because it would be easier for me to create the idea.

My Reflection

I like most about the three pictures is that the lyrics match the picture without saying what the picture is doing. What I could improve is that I could improve getting more colour and making the picture come out more to match the lyric more. The most successful one would be my first one or my last one because they both look really good to me and they work perfectly with the lyrics. but if i had to choose one it would be the third one because it looks really good to me.
