I created two 3-D circles; creating a gradient throughout it.  The hardest part was the background, consisting of six layers.  One for the stars, and the other five to create the correct gradient colour.  My favorite part was creating the different tops to the globes, creating the illusion that is in fact a snow globe.  To end, I added a lens flare to bring everything together.

Here is the animated version of myself.  I had some issues with the shirt, trying to make it appear as though it has multiple layers.  I added a background to give it more of a animated style along with the picture itself.  My hair was fun, styling the line; creating a more realistic appeal to it.

 



This is the before image to the animated version of myself.

Here is the final edited version of my photo.  Using the clone stamp, I edited out a large snag in my shirt, which brought me some trouble.  I brought out the color in my eyes and whitened my teeth.  Smoothing out my skin and deleting my facial issues made my face look a lot better.

To make my troll original, I added hair lines to his head.  Using the pen tool, I created shadows on him to make it appear like his arms are actually 3D.

Here is the final logo for Vero ECO friendly water.  The simple design makes it easily rememberable, and good for any size print.

The idea of a bottle being integrated into a tree came from the idea of an Eco friendly bottle made from a tree.  Black and white creates a settle appeal, and the green leaf draws the eye.

The title page of my portfolio was derived from a mixture of 80's themes with a modern touch.  I did not know how to use interactive buttons with my design, but after a little while I figured out how they work.  My theme continues on further throughout my portfolio.
