Platypard - Animal Mix Project
This is my mixed animal project. I mixed a Leopard with a Platypus to make a Platypard. The strongest aspect of my project is the opacity on the leopard spots. This is the strongest part because I lowered the opacity enough to make the spots still visible while also letting the original Platypus fur texture to show through. The weakest aspect of my project is the leopard spots by the neck. This is the weakest because for some reason it looks different there than anywhere else.
The easiest part of this project was making the clone stamp areas. To do that I selected the clone stamp, went on the leopard layer, and then held option and clicked on the spot of leopard I wanted to make the clone stamp area. The hardest part of this project was putting the spots down. This was hard because I kept having to restart putting them down to get it correct.
I demonstrated the objective in the project by using the clone stamp tool to combine 1 animal with another, in this case a leopard with a platypus. If I could do this project again I would pick 2 different animals, or an animal and a food, or plant.

Tattoo Project
This is my tattoo. The strongest aspect of my tattoo is the curvature in the top text to make it appear as if it is wrapping around the arm. This is my strongest aspect because it makes the photo more believable that it is a tattoo because in reality a tattoo of that size would start to wrap around. The weakest aspect is the star on the arm. The star itself is good, but when it was put on the arm and made to look like a tattoo it thinned out the outlines and made it appear as if it was fading so I could not properly match the skin tone completely while also making the tattoo completely visible.
The easiest part of the project was designing the tattoo. This was easy because I've been planning for a few years to get a tattoo myself of a very similar nature so thinking of and making the design took very little time seeing as I had already essentially made it in my head. The weakest part of my tattoo is the star when on the body. This is the weakest part because of the reasons I mentioned before, essentially to make it match completely it would ruin some of the tattoo outline, and to make the tattoo completely visible I had to make it slightly off of the skin tone.
I demonstrated the objective in this project by designing a tattoo in photoshop, tracing and drawing on a piece of paper, taking a picture of the trace, and then making it into a tattoo. If I could do this project again I would make a tattoo of a similar nature but darken up all of the lines in the original drawing to make it easier to match to the skin tone without compromising the tattoo itself.
If you're are wondering what it says in Hebrew, the big text is my last name, and the text inside are the names of my family members.

"Commie Crunch" - Cereal Box Project
This is my cereal box for "Commie Crunch." The strongest aspect of my work is my front cover. This is the stingiest aspect because the text fills a decent space with good negative spacing, and the bottom is filled with a cereal bowl with custom made cereal and the cereal's mascot. The weakest part of my work is the back of the box. I think this is the weakest because I couldn't think of what to put in the bottom left of it so I put something somewhat boring and plain.
The easiest part of this project was making the logo. I made the logo by going online and getting a USSR font, then typed the name and warped it to how I wanted. I then took a USSR hammer and sickle and put it above the "O" in commie as an added touch. The hardest part of this project was making the cereal. To make it I took the USSR hammer and sickle and put a cheerio as texture inside of it. The reason I think it was hard is because it didn't come out very well due to the fact it was difficult to find a cereal piece big enough to somewhat proportionally fit into the hammer and sickle.
I demonstrated the objective in the project by making an original cereal box with all the requirements (cover, nutrition facts, ingredients, etc) as well as following the dimensions so after it was done it could be printed and folded and glued into a small cereal box. If I could do this activity again I would do relatively the same thing but make a different cereal called "ConservitO's" which would be the same theme as "Commie Crunch" but with a republican theme.
