Here is my tag brush for photoshop! I decided on this color because orange is on of my favorite colors. Overall I enjoyed making the tag brush and am happy I learned how create custom photoshop brushes.

For my illustrator portrait, I took a lot of inspiration from the artist Shepard Fairey. I really enjoyed the bright colors of Fairey's works and I also really liked how he sort of had different shapes of color on his portrait's faces. I tried to recreate those on mine and they didn't come out as clean as I'd like them,  but I still like the sort of depth it gives my work. All in all, I think this has been my favorite project we've done in class so far

For my gradient mesh project, I decided to use my water bottle. I actually had a lot of fun with this project and it came out A LOT better than what I was expecting. I used about 6 different gradient meshes to complete this project.

Here are the colored versions of my logos. My original colored logo is the orange and red one. I chose those colors because the color orange is often associated with being confident and warm, while the color red is associated with being bold. I wanted my logo to convey a sense of confidance and openness so I decided to go with warm colors.

For my calligram, I used the lyrics from the song Coffeeshop Soundtrack by All Time Low to create the image of a coffee cup. It took me a fairly long time to create this as I struggled a lot with working in illustrator.
