Museum of Illustration

My experience with the visit to the Museum of Illustration was very fun and interesting. The workshop we had with david curtis was very intriguing; he's art skill were very obvious shown in his book covers. i could only imagine the work it required in order to create the type of drawings.to be completely honest, i wasn't so excited for the trip however during the drawing my own book cover, it hooked me i was invested a fair amount of effort to create a cover for the book "to kill a mockingbird". creating the tree on my cover was the fun part, it look pretty realistic to me. also i feel my cover portrays the novel explores themes of racism, prejudice, and the importance of moral courage because the the lynching tree represents the racism and prejudice and the cover portrays how the mockingbird is flying away from the tree representing destructive nature of injustice against the innocent, represented by the "mockingbird" metaphor. i thought the museum was very interesting because of the many type of different art style on each floor the 2nd floor shown cartoons of people everyday who we can relate to;for example my favorite opf is the subway Cartoon which we in New York City can related too about train accidents and now people say close to the back instead of the front because of the pushing onto the tracks.

self-portrait in gray and colored

  My experience and process about the project " self-portrait in gray" was very interesting because it take a very long time to layer the works ands took me some thing of how am gonna execute the project, and there were plenty of challenges on the way in order to finish this project.The process of creating this project is not simple at all, it took me  a lot of time, first i had to take a picture in photoshop and turn it gray and than i use 6 layers so 6 different colors of grey to create the picture, but a challenge i encounter was the crazy amounts of layer and confusing, so i had to restart because the finish project of my old one was not that pretty because there was lot of white spots and i did think that was visually appealing, so i restarted and took my time with the pen tool using 200% zoom for a detailed look i traced all the lines and filled in the colors the hardest part of the project was the glasses it was hard to fill them.and i work from the outside to inside l...

Image File Formats

JPG is one of the most common image formats, widely used for photos and web images. It uses lossy compression , meaning some image quality is sacrificed to reduce file size, which works well for images like photographs where smaller files are important. PNG is a lossless format, meaning it keeps all the image details intact. It’s perfect for images that need transparency (like logos) or for any images that require sharp details, like icons or graphics. GIF is great for animations and simple graphics. It supports only 256 colors , so it’s not the best for detailed images but works well for things like small animations and web graphics with fewer colors. BMP is an older image format, and it’s uncompressed , meaning the files are large. It’s not commonly used today, but it was once standard on Windows systems for basic images. PSD is Adobe Photoshop’s native format, keeping all your layers, masks, and effects intact. It’s perfect for working on complex designs or photos where you wa...
