Face



I made this face mostly with circles. I made the nose by making a circle and then changing it with the free form tool and the subselect tool. For the lip I made two circles and changed just like with the nose except I made them more longer. I then added the indent to make it look like a really lip. For the hair I just made a bunch of circles by copying and pasting and I made them all brown. The glasses were a last minute addition, I made them with the pencil tool. In my opinion it looks like a librarian.

Realistic Eye

This is the eye that I made in Adobe Fireworks CS3. I made it by making a circle of a custom color that I made. Then I changed the shape of the circle so it would make an eye like shape and I made a smaller circle to make the white of the eye. I made the iris with a circle with a gradient called ripples with different colors. I made the pupil just a small black circle. The little white gleam from pupil is just a small little 9x9 pixel square. For the eyelashes I just used the pencil to make a small little curved line and I used the copy trick using the alt key. And the eyebrow is just a circle modified with the subselection tool. I added the shadows to make the eye more realistic looking. I added them using the filters and customizing the angle and size of the shadow.

Spot color 3


 How I made this waterfall spot color is that I used the Magic wand tool in the tool bar on the right to select what I wanted to be changed. After I got everything selected I went to the command menu, then the creative menu, and I clicked the Convert to Gray scale option and it made the waterfall stand out amongst the rocks.

Spot Color





I made this with adobe Fireworks CS6 I made it look like this by using the magic wand tool and circle everything but the tree and changed everything's color to sepia tones. I did this by going to the command drop down menu and then going over the creative option which then provided different options and I clicked the Convert to Sepia tones option. The part that made this one time consuming was that I had to go between all the branches to get the sky behind the tree.

Spot Color 2


This picture I used the magic wand again and used it to select all of the objects besides the bird which is what I wanted to spot color like I did with the tree I posted earlier except I didn't have to go through the branches in order to get just the tree. Then I went under the command menu, then to the creative menu and I clicked convert to Gray scale.

Typography: Textpaths

I made this with Fireworks. How I did it was that I put my name in a new fireworks file and I made it Bauhaus 93 with a font size of 100 ungrouped them. Then what I did was I found pictures that all had the same theme from the internet and pasted them inside the text and rearranged the letters to spell my name and that's how I did this project.
