LOGO - Maeve Hydock

 Artistic statement:

 I decided to combine a watermelon and sand dollar into one to create a logo that represents me. I wanted to create a piece that had something to do with the beach since I have been going to the beach every summer since I was born. However, this was a little broad which is why I decided to do the watermelon which is my favorite summer fruit. I then chose the sand dollar to represent the beach since I always collected sand dollars when I was younger. I created my Black and White logo by using the pen tool, ellipse tool, and pencil tool. I used the pencil tool to make/create the shapes inside the sand dollar and used the pencil tool to also help with those lines inside the sand dollar. I then used the ellipse tool to create the shape of the water melon and sand dollar and then got the rigid shape of the sand dollar by using the pen tool. I had three different layers, The first layer was an image of my sketch, the second layer was the outline of the sand dollar and fill of the watermelon, and the third layer was the design inside the sand dollar and the seeds in the watermelon. I created my three different colored versions by inserting my black and white version and changing the fill and stroke. My first colored version consisted of the original real life colors of a sand dollar and watermelon, my second and third consisted of more fun colors. My inspirational image brings us back to what I mentioned in the beginning. I enjoyed collecting sand dollars at the beach and watermelon is a summer fruit that just so happened to be my favorite fruit to eat at the beach.

Animation - Maeve Hydock

  Artist Statement:  In my animation "Blossoms and Sunshine," I wanted to show the cool journey of a flower blooming, all made in Photoshop. Starting with the timeline, I brought together a bunch of images to tell the story of a flower growing. I embedded each individual image into photoshop. I used the quick selection tool to cut out each piece just right, and with the brush tool, I switched up from white to black to make that growing effect of the flower. Every image got its own layer, and I grouped some together to stay organized by making a folder. Masking was key for making everything blend smoothly. My goal was to make something that feels real and full of life, like you're watching a real flower bloom right in front of you. It's a simple, chill animation that I hope makes people feel as happy as a sunny day with flowers everywhere.

Ps HW 1 - Maeve Hydock

 Video One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZACwQzj7TQ  This video was very interesting because he made everything seem pretty easy even though I know it may be harder when I start using the tools. However, he was able to explain it in a pretty good way in a short amount of time. To start the first tool that I find easy to use is the Lasso tool. I will use this to cut things out of an image that I do not want there. The patch tool seemed a little more difficult since it replaced something in the image. He made it seem pretty easy to use like I said above, however, I feel like when I actually use it, it will be more difficult.  Video Two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS5uh5TCXcU  In the video, what I found interesting was how he went through a short tutorial on a lot of the tools. He also explained them in further detail and if they're more advanced or not. The move tool seems pretty easy. It does basically what the name says it does. You can move things...
