Kerning Game

I just got a 100% on this font during this cool Kerning Game that my teacher showed me! What is Kerning? Kerning is when you adjust the spacing between (letters or characters) in a piece of text to be printed. It was a really good learning experience! Go check it out!

Emagine

Emagine was so much fun! Dressing up like we were going to the Oscars was great! I really loved the video sections. My favorite was "The Wall." I enjoyed cheering my fellow students on. Can't wait for next year!

Movie Poster

I used Saul Bass as inspiration to create this 1970s movie poster into a contemporary piece of art. The things that needed to be in my poster were 2-3 things. I used 3 things which are the tree, the tire swing, and the shadowed over girl. These 3 things describe the movie because the movie's main character is a little girl who spends her time outside because she's a tom boy. Her dad is a lawyer who is defending a black man and getting a lot of grief because of it. Go watch the movie and see what happens! Another guide line was using 3-5 colors. Two of which had to be black and white. My colors are Black, White, Brown, and a Tan color. Below is a Saul Bass poster for StarWars. I wish he had done one on the 1970s film How to Kill a Mockingbird like i did! Instead i found a poster (below) that used a showed person just like me. The poster below has 2 bright colors unlike me who used neutral colors to give it more of a simple look. I loved this project and it really helped me with my creativity!
