Added some additional information regarding my artwork…
Here is my final project, I spend a lot of detailed time with both the poster promoting digital art and then taking all my projects that I completed, throughout the Digital Art & Design class, and placed them on another project depicting a scrapbook page. The poster, size 11x17, showed a balloon in the sky going over the water. The scrapbook page, size 12x12, showed a computer displaying all projects on computer screen including the final poster project (including the fiat car and replacing the designs with a saying), and the keyboard referenced details of project information. The targeted audiences are educators, students, artists, and designers. I used Photoshop and Illustrator for the final projects.
Poster
Type: PNG image
Illustrator: To create balloon; I used art board for horizontal guide: used pen tool made half balloon and then blend tool. The tricky part was to make the balloon look as if the entire balloon was not included on page and this was done when it was saved – it eliminated top half of balloon. I used gradient tool for color of balloon. In order to draw message in sand it took many effects in the layer style to make these adjustments. Paint brush tool used to paint sand and sea foam, and then noise added to sand to make look like sand.
Photoshop: I used a photograph of water and I edited with clone stamp tool to eliminate rocky sand and piece of land in distance. I used a photograph of me and eliminated area around me using lasso tool.
Scrapbook page:
Type:  GIF image
Illustrator: To create computer and keyboard; I used mesh tool for screen effect, gradient tool for colors, rectangle tool, line segment tool and arc tool for keys and computer screen, and then paintbrush tool for extra touch ups as needed.
Photoshop: I used this tool as well to help create past class projects displayed on computer screen.
I maintained ethical standards since everything was my own ideas and I didn’t use anything from online, the photograph of the ocean was from a picture I took and I edited it and placed sand and sea foam.  I was responsible socially because I didn’t offend others; I actually used my photograph of myself in the fiat.

Round 2 - Poster and Scrapbook Page

Below are two designs promoting digital art for my final project...the first one is a poster showing how you can take art to any place and use your imagination, "The Sky is the Limit." A balloon going up into the sky show that digital art is not limited. Also, the second one is a scrapbook page showing the projects I have completed in this class including the one below of the balloon (poster), and it
is shown as if I was sitting at a computer depicting my digital art class. The two designs intertwine with each other showing educators, designers, and artists that it is important to be a digital artist and how important it is to learn using different mediums and software including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Wordle (Word Cloud) to complete a project. I didn't use any other forms of photographs, clipart, graphics, etc. I sketched and then used software to bring this to its final stage where I now have to add the final touches. I used a quote where credit will be given to the author.
