Hybrid

The assignment this quarter was to create an animal hybrid. The steps that I had to go through during this project are first to find three animals that I wanted to use. Second I had to pick one part of the three animals that I have chosen. Third I had to combine the three parts into a animal than color it give it highlights and shadows a background than your done. I had to include in this project was a background, highlights, shadows, and also we had to give it a name.

 

I choose to use a tiger, an eagle and a husky dog. I used from the tiger was its body because I think I could run like a tiger, I used the huskies head because I feel that I’m adventurous like a dog and I like huskies dogs and finally I used the eagles wings because I wish I could fly like them. My background included white grass with gray clouds and a black background giving the feeling of nighttime in the picture.

 

The three animals that I choose represent me personality are. The tiger is that I could run as a tiger. The eagle is simple I wish I could fly like that always out in the open flying freely. And finally the husky dog I feel that I’m adventurous like them. The background environment relates to my animal is that it only comes out at night and mostly when is snow on the ground.

 

I feel that my assignment was great; I feel that my animal came out perfect. At first it was hard for me because I couldn’t find the animals that I wanted but when got my animals together the creativity just came out. I like best about my animal is the body because it really bring the whole picture together with the stripes down the body like a tiger I probably spend a lot of time on it. The pen tool was the one thing I learned that was new.

The assignment was about that we had to create a self-portrait of are selves has to be two pages of it and has to have a background also has to have words in it. The steps we took in this project we had to first take a picture of ourselves than put it on our computers and trace the picture on illustrator. When we did all of that we had to get a background to the picture but we could have created anything for our background. But we had to use illustrator for a program.

 

I had to trace my image though out the whole thing and yes I did mess up a lot and I got frustrated because I did. The text I use was simple just regular text but I use the words to go with the picture. My background for my first one was a lot of orbs and put them on top of each other with my picture and the text behind one or two orbs. The second one I put my picture next vitamin water and put the text above the picture.

 

The way that I cropped my piece was interesting because I never token a picture and trace the picture and put it in the document. My background for the first one was that I was trying to create a space feeling where I’m a shadow in space and for the second one I put a vitamin water bottle in the picture because I like vitamin water. The text for the first one is simple and for the second I was trying to be funny.

 

Honestly I didn’t feel that I did that good on this project because I was working with something new. But if I had to choose one part of the project I’d like about it would be the first picture I did the whole. A new tool that I learned is that the trace tool and the shapes tool because with the shape tool I learned different shapes like the orb.
