This tessellation was created in Photoshop. My study for this project was the Victorian era. The tessellation is derived from three images I scanned from a Victorian book and four images I found on the internet from the Victorian period. I manipulated the images in many different ways, with many different layers. I worked with color and texture the most with each image. The color scheme I used was analogous. I used shades and tints of reds, oranges and yellows with accent colors of tan and brown. Although it took some time to figure out, I found Photoshop much more enjoyable to work with, compared to Adobe Illustrator.
This image of a farm house in the Palouse is the final sketch I created as part of preliminary work for our AI projects. The piece started as a picture taken by a local artist. It was my job to re-create the piece and make it my own, while also protraying the origional image. I feel that the piece I created has a lot of contrast worked into it. The different techniques that can be used to fulfill each task in AI really helps develop that contrast. I gained a lot of knowledge throughout the process work for this piece being it was my first time working with AI.
