Audrey Hepburn Typography

This is my first typography project. I chose to do a portrait of Audrey Hepburn because she has been one of my greatest inspirations as a person since I was a little girl. This project took me a little while to complete because theres a lotta words in there. It was tricky at first to determine which areas of the face should include smaller type and which should be larger to get the right effect. In the end I think it turned out pretty nicely.

Katy Perry Retouch


This is my Katy Perry Retouch. I cleaned up her unruly hair, whitened her smile, and made her thinner. I also changed her eye color and darkened her lips. I think this piece is pretty successful.

Retouch

This piece is successful because I enhanced the features of this lovely lady. Blurring her skin tone was a challenge and some areas look a tad blotchy but it does look a lot better than it did before. I removed the ugly blemishes on her face and darkened her features to make her face more dramatic.
This piece helped advance my skills in facial retouching in photoshop.

Transformation


Before&After. This piece is successful because this chick was transformed into a somewhat decent looking person although somethings cant be helped. It was difficult to make her not look like Michael Jackson. This piece taught me that lightening skin color doesnt always help.

Chogging Sunflower

Uh oh this flower is gettin' sick..wonder what it ate for lunch. This piece is successful because I used paint splats coming out of the flower and i used a complementary color scheme. If I were to do this again I would use an animal instead of a plant. The most difficult part of this project was getting the colors in the splats just right so that they matched the petals. This piece taught me how to make another image look like its part of another object.
