Artist Statement

1) What were the style elements you took from the example campaign ads? How did you make yours different from the examples.

The only style elements from the example campaign ads that i used was the logo, but the way i did mine different was, not to do the same exact thing by making the blue rectangles and then add the logo on the side.  i did something different with my pictures, such as a badge effect, and and ipod commercial coldplay effect, and also creating the obama logo from scratch.

2) Which tools did you use to create your image? Talk about specific techniques you used (layer mask, quick selection tools, etc.) and how you used them to create a specific effect.

to create my images i used vectors, the pen tool, opacity levels, layers, smoke effects, 3d effects, and textures.

3) Discuss the experimentation you did on your three different campaign ads. What changes did you make? After creating all three images, compare and contrast them. Discuss what you like about each and what you would change if you had a chance. Which would be your "final version"? Or would you make a new one that is a combination of different parts of these?

Your artwork, as I've been saying constantly, is amazing. All 4/4s.

For your artist statement, I want to see not only which tools you used but which effect you were trying to achieve. I want to see that you are having ideas in your head, choosing the right tools to express them, and going through the steps to make the effect really happen. I also want to see you thinking ahead to how you can improve each work. Imagine skills you do not yet have and how they could improve the piece.

2/4
