ACPS Visual Arts Festival 2016 Poster

For this project, we were told to create a poster for the upcoming ACPS Visual Arts Festival. This festival shows off the art of kids that go to ACPS schools. I decided to go with a simplistic design that gets the information across easily but still looks nice. I used the pen tool to create the wavy looking title. I added an outer glow to the example picture to help separate it from the poster. I also made sure to make the ACPS logo big enough so people could see it. I am happy with how this turned out.

Life of Pi Project

For this project, we watched the movie, The Life of Pi, and were told to make two pieces of art inspired by the movie. When I watched the movie I found that the tiger seemed to be a main part of the story. I decided to do both of my pieces with the tiger. I used Illustrator and a drawing pad for my first piece. I used a picture from the movie to help with the drawing. This was really fun for me because I am really bad at drawing on paper but it's a lot easier on a computer. I made a cover for the movie as my second piece. I actually used my drawing in it. I tried to make it look like the tiger scratched the cover and wrote the title.
