red sphere

 These are my 2 red spheres. My work flow involved thinking of a red sphere in real life, like a gumball. When I was doing this, I was thinking of the simplistic idea of the sphere. This sphere represents the prefect beauty in ordinary things. I love how they turned out, I think they look perfectly, and beautifully normal. On the Illustrator ball(top) I showed my process all throughout the tutorial by Keeping the gradient we used in the beginning, and I finally finished it off with my name in my typeface(Archer Hairline). The Photoshop sphere(bottom) was one that wasn't as complicated, but it holds the grainy feeling of an old picture.

My Logo!

 This is my logo, and those sketches are the creative process involved! I finally decided to try as hard as I can and involve my pixel art skills, and try to involve my love for video games!!! This design took inspiration from the score flag in the old arcade game, Rally-X! I really like the design, so I based my logo off of it, by changing the S to an M, for Michael! In my sketches, I wanted to involve my initials somehow, or do something creative and new with the letter M. At some point in my sketches, I thought I could just do something with my full name, Michael, but I decided to go back to just my initials, because incorporating those 2 letters into my logo design would be so easy. Near the end, I wanted to do something with a flag, because I just really like how flags look, and
            how they use the shape of the triangle so well. Throughout this                     project, I perfected my pixel art skills, although, I guess I would've             changed the way I executed it in Illustrator, the way I did it took a               bit longer than it should have! My finalized Sketches was when I was perfecting my design, and as you can see I tried many different things, but in the end decided to keep it simple. I'm very happy with my personal logo and how it expresses me!

My Bio Page

 This is my Bio Page, as you can see they contain both information about myself, and some of my favorite links. As you can see This contains Contrast because the link text color is olive green, which is across from red on the color wheel, and Alignment because each subject is on the left, and Repetition because of the bold text which exemplify the subjects, and the links are all the same color, and Proximity because each subject heading is equally spaced, and the picture of me fits nicely. That is how I used CARP in my Bio project. Now for making the background image, I used the clone stamp to take away the definition of certain parts so no part is that different from another, I chose a nice, light salmon because it was easy on the eyes, and it went well with how the image looked. In the making of this project, it was a bit challenging to adapt to each problem as it came, like how on my links page my image wasn't working properly because i didn't

realize it was outside of my div, and also how I tried to get my link colors working! I feel like the image of myself is a bit sloppy, but thats because it took me 3 tries to get it done! I feel I did a good job on my links, and my background image, I love the colors and how they aren't super straining on the eyes.
