Silhouette – Weekly Photoshop Challenge

Above is my piece for this week's Weekly Photoshop Challenge, "Silhouette."

For this week's challenge, I used a photo of my daughter trying on her new "punk pants" she got from Hot Topic. As you can tell from the original photo, she was posing and acting as a perfect "bad" person in her new "bad" pants. I didn't follow any of the tutorials...I just traced my daughter with the pen tool, filled with black, added the background and text, duplicated the filled silhouette, and made her shadow by distorting the shape. Voila! A fun iPod-type advertisement.

The Unexpected – Weekly Photoshop Challenge

Above is my piece for this week's Weekly Photoshop Challenge, "The Unexpected." My students inspired me for this week's challenge because they often like to monkey around.

A Series of Art – Inspire Me Thursday

This week's Inspire Me Thursday was quite a challenge for me. Not so much coming up with an idea...but, rather finding the time to create what I really wanted to create! Therefore, since I ran out of time...I decided to do something fun and crafty! So, I created a series of Americana bookmarks. I drew the images in Adobe Illustrator, printed them in color, and added the eyelets for a little interest.

Please note! I am starting a new venture in cyberland! I have decided to try a weekly Photoshop Challenge. You can read more about it at my new blog, Weekly Photoshop Challenge. I feel it would be great to have a nice, clean weekly challenge for anybody interested. I hope many of those of you that use Photoshop will play along!
