Designs By Autumn

After playing around with the morphing of me into a cat, I found that I really loved playing with the Avatar idea instead.  However, I did still give myself cat eyes!  Below is my final avatar and underneath that is my original photo, the cat eyes I used as well as the background I chose.  The theme here is, "Avatar school picture day."  I love the galactic background but in a cheesy school picture background kind of way.  This is my Avatar Senior Photo!

For this project I am going to retouch the below photo of me holding my cat.  The photo below that is a snapchat filter with cat ears and nose.  I will attempt to do my own version of changing myself into a cat so that it looks like I may be holding my own child.  I have no idea how I'm going to pull this off!  Ha!  Let the challenge begin. 

I chose to redesign the cover of 1984 by George Orwell because the cover is quite simple and I thought maybe I could jazz it up a bit, however, I do believe the original cover is effective and I do really like it.  I love this book and I’ve read it three times, so I hold this design close to my heart.  I kept with the theme of being watched by putting a cluster of cameras on the back cover but I made the main focus on the front cover about the torture that the main character of the book, Winston, endured toward the end of his story.  The book is about a dystopian world and I wanted to reflect the pain and suffering in the cover and not just the surveillance aspect, so I worked them both in.
