These are my posters for my “I Am From” poem. For the first one (on the left) i wanted a beach on the background because I really like the how the beach looks like on a sunny day. For the pictures I wanted just pictures of my family. My parents and all my siblings are in the pictures I chose. Then for the second one I wanted a mixture of pictures of my family and me with my friends. My favorite picture is the one from my quinceanera. For my background I wanted a picture of El Salvador since that’s where I was born. I chose a picture of a waterfall that’s located near where my mom grew up. I personally think that I did a better job on the second poster. I still like both of them though. If I have any free time I want to make another one so I can print it and take it home for my parents.
This is my very first triptych. It was some what of a challenge because I didn’t know what pictures I should put and how I was going to blend it. In the triptych we had to put something that represented the past, present, and future. So when I thought of my childhood the first thing I thought of was all the old cartoons that they used to give on nick and then for the present I decided to use some recent pictures. For the future I wanted something that represented me graduating college so I put a picture of a graduation. I think that I could have done some things differently on it if I had more time to work on it. Even though I’m not totally satisfied with it, I still like it.
This is my first CD cover I have made. I really didn’t know how I wanted it to look so it was a slow start. The first thing I did was find a picture of the type of phone I have and then I got the idea of putting my picture on the screen of it to make it look like it was the original picture. Then as a was looking for pictures I found the picture of a rose, so I decided to put a picture of a different color rose with it. For the back of the cover I wanted to put something that showed my inner child so I put a picture of my teddy bear (I always sleep with it) with my quinceañera crown on it. It’s kind of a symbol of my childhood and my teen years mixed. I’m happy with my final result.
