Photoshop Assignment; Chill me with not so chill zombies

I decided to put myself strolling out of the woods, on my way to the beach while being completely indifferent to the zombies in the creeping out of the woods.  

Photoshop, surprisingly, has been the most challenging software I have worked with.  I found it challenging to get myself familiarized with the program, which I am still trying.  I had some difficulty trying to find the correct tools to use to manipulate the layers and my images.  Basically because I have yet to explore so much in the software.  I tried to get the tones in the image of myself as close as possible to the background.  To be honest, most of the time I was laughing just looking at myself ready for the beach, not realizing the zombie apocalypse was going on.

Even so, I will continue practicing Photoshop so I'll be able to take advantage of its great features!

Below is the final result:

Below is the zombie background: (image from http://weabeasties.com/images/ZombieGroupBest.jpg)


Below is the image of myself, which I incorporated into the image from above:

I will dominate you, Photoshop!

ASCII; HTML 5 Codes

For our second assignment, we had to create a a landscape or portrait using html 5.  I chose to do the Tampa Bay Lightning ice rink.  Considering I am a Lightning fan and the image I used as a reference has gradients, curves, circles and it requires for the spaces between the lines and circles to be precise in order for the image to look good.

Below is the image I made with html 5.

file:///Users/Connie/Downloads/Lightning%20Rink.html





Below is the image I used as a reference from google
.
Below is the printed reference image in a graph, used to measure the points more accurately.



Challenges

When I started to work with the first layer, the blue ice background with the gradient, I had some trouble trying to figure out how to put in two separate gradients in a single layer.  After consulting the professor, we managed to figure out how to make the gradients a single gradient with various shades, having it all in one code paragraph.

Afterwards, the red circles, the center circle, the lines and smaller circles were just a matter of very specific measuring and figuring out how to place them with the appropriate spaces between each element.  The graphed reference helped a lot to better visualize the canvas size.  

The Lightning logo in the center circle was fairly easy to measure, but the curved lines around it were a bit of a challenge.  I used the quadratic curve for both lines surrounding the lightning bolt.

I learned how to try to predict where the lines and curves and how to measure the spaces between lines and other elements that are suppose to have a certain distance between each other.

Below is the coding used to make the image.

Vector Illustration Assignment

I absolutely love Zedd's music! So I decided to make my second assignment a tribute to him and his music.
