Caplan_Erik

Hello!(: My name is Erik Caplan and I am a senior at Methacton High School . I like long walks on the beach, the smell of rich mohagany, fine colognes, and leather bound books. Don't hate me cus you ain't me.

I found my background to be the most successful element of my project. I had to match the colors in my boxes to the colors used in my background. I had to go in and alter the rainbow effect to better match my boxes. I was also successful in using an interesting gradient in my signature.



I enjoyed this project because I had the freedom to be as creative as i wanted to be. I liked adding random colors and pictures after I finished my buildings to make my final product more interesting.

I like this project because I had the freedom to be creative in choosing the animals that I was going to use for my project. It was interesting to see what two completely unrelated animals looked like when they were blended together. However, I did find it difficult to mix the animals without leaving some kind of obvious blending mark. Making the colors of the two animals match was also a bit difficult. Overall, I did enjoy creating my newimal.



I really enjoyed working on the cloning project. I liked being able to pose for my pictures however I wanted. It was interesting to see how all of the clones blended together in one picture. I also like having the freedom of adding whatever filters or lighting effects that I wanted. However, I did find it difficult to make each clone look like it actually belonged in the picture. Fixing the shadowing and position of each clone was a challenge.

I had a really good time working on the surrealism project. I was very successful in editing my original picture to make it look like I'm actually riding the unicorn. Putting the Nikes on the unicorn was very challenging. Im not entirely happy with the way it turned out but it still looks pretty funny. I don't know why Oprah is in the bottom left corner. Ok bye.

I really enjoyed working on the touch up project. I was able to utilize all of the tools that we learned about in class and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I liked altering the color of his eyes and smoothing out his skin.



I chose Biggie because he's one of my favorite artists and I thought he would make an interesting focus point for my project. The quote that I chose stood out to me because I found it to be very motivational and inspiring. I really enjoyed working on this project and I am very happy with the way it turned out.



I really enjoyed working on this project because I had the freedom to be as creative as I wanted in designing the empty room. My favorite part was adding the background because it gave the room a true sense of realism. Overall, I'm very happy with the way it turned out.



I had a fantastic time working on this project. I especially liked designing the different varieties of Cutsie Bootsies and creating the slogan. Shout out to Emily Crawford for some of the ideas that really made this project work. Overall, I'm really happy with the way everything turned out.



To be quite honest i really did not enjoy this project. It was very tedious and i did not at all like the way it turned out. However, i thought the picture i used was pretty interesting and I do like the way it looks. The background looks pretty goood, but i don't like how you really can't see any of the words...):
