For this project we had to turn 2D images into 3D chairs. The purpose of the project was to demonstrate the importance of light and shadow. I decided to make one with a cloud background; I got inspiration from how clouds look so fluffy, and imagining that it would be soft to sit on them if they were solid. For the second chair I added a space/stars background to it; I was trying to make a chair that was kind of otherworldly, or maybe like you were being supported by space, or "floating" in it. One could say it was out of this world. I took the pictures for the new chair surfaces and used warp and puppet warp to help twist them into a shape that was close to the chair's shape. For the shadows I just used burn and dodge which helped give perspective, and different amounts of light. I used drop shadow for the overall shadow. The reason these 2D images look like 3D chairs is because of the way the shadows and light fall on the surface, creating perspective. I probably wouldn't do anything differently next time, although I don't like how there are limits on where and how you can warp something, for example how there are only so many places you can grab and warp.

For this project we had to make a comic strip. We took pictures of ourselves and then put them into other pictures, then used the brush tool to make them look drawn like a cartoon. We just had a simple "plot" of someone going to ride a tiger. The hardest part about this was getting shadows and contrast because its difficult to use the brush tool to imitate light.  Group: Alexander Hunt, Everett Fox.
