Funny compositions practice

We learned tools in Adobe Photoshop that would prepare us for our composition project. We did 2 funny compositions to practice. My first composition features a cat on the cover of Vogue wearing a top hat. My second is Trump with sexy red lips.

Project Planning

For this project we used Adobe Illustrator. We were ordered to sketch and plan which type of multilayer art we wanted. I chose the rings because I liked how they looked very dimensional. We organized our layers by which lines were to be engraved and cut.

Assembly Process

For this piece I was inspired my world building project entitled “Altered Realities.” I wanted to display the world of my story in a new light by portraying each character as a different sea creature that represented their personality. I chose the layered rings because I wanted my art to be in a circular form, emphasizing the middle. I chose to have each layer include a wavy background so I could make the outside look like different layers of the ocean. It was so exciting to see how the laser analyzed the illustrator document. I got to watch it transform my digital art into physical art and it was like magic. This project was difficult, because I had to keep each layer very organized or the laser would not be able to read it correctly. It was also time consuming because I tried to incorporate as much detail as I could. From this project I learned to organize my layers before I start working, and make sure to include dimension through different stroke widths.
