  This is how my business cards turned out, I personally think they came out great. I used the pen tool in order to create that wavy art effect, and used a background to make sure they were completely filled with color. Then I used all three of the different color designs of my logo I created when we were doing Illustrator. Lastly I used the text option to get all of my information on the back of the card. So all in all, after a long time of working on them, I think all the different variations look great.

       I am very happy with the way my Autoscopy turned out, I wanted to keep it ocean animal themed, seeing as that is what my whole life has been based around. The one animal that isn't ocean themed is the ram, which is a male goat, and I made made my face a goat, because back home I shoot a lot of big fish that are really hard to shoot, which there are very few people who can shoot these every once in a while, but I can shoot them every time I go. So I get called the G.O.A.T a lot around my island, which stands for "greatest of all time", basically just saying I am the best at spearfishing. So I kind of just thought it would be a funny touch. I blended my hat away and tried to recreate what I believe would have been behind my hat, I blended the bottom half of the dolphin in with the water to make it look like it was jumping, I also did that with a shark fin to make it look like a shark was swimming as well, and lastly added a little seagull standing on the rail, seeing

  This is how all of my images turned out from the original photo, and I am very happy with the results. It took a lot of time, about 2 and a half hours, but it was a very relieving feeling to be done with it when I finished. I went with these choices of colors, because I feel like the fish in the photo that I am holding up, really pops out with either a bright background and a dark fish, or a bright fish, with a dark background. This is because it just really brings your eyes to the center of the photo where that color is so different compared to the others.

      These 3 images were used to create the fourth image shown, the one with the dive mask on it, and I am really happy with the way it turned out. The scratch and and smudge look really pull this piece together and really brings it into one, where as if I just left my logo with the spray and the gap in between the two, it wouldn't look like one piece. I lowered the opacity of the spray a little to really make the logo pop, but with the scratches and smudge, it lowered the tone of how dark the logo actually was, so it doesn't pop too much, and control the entire piece.

       For my poster I decided to talk about a topic very close to me. I am from the Bahamas, and right now in the Bahamas the locals are fighting the government to stop them from allowing Americans to drill oil from our beautiful pristine ocean water we have, which brings in all of out tourism. While the drilling will bring in a lot of income for the Bahamas, it has some major down falls. If there is one little slip up, it will cause an oil spill in the Bahamas and kill all of our beautiful reefs and all of the species we have under water. So if this were to happen, we would not get any tourism anymore, seeing as our ocean is what brings in tourism, and tourism is our main source of income in the Bahamas. Also me being such an ocean lover, the thought of what could happen irritates me a lot. I did not use any inspiration from other posters, this idea popped into my head straight away, and I went with it, and I think it turned out amazing.     People should really agree with me because
