The Assignment:

Revamp your WordPress Banner.

The Process:

I first gathered six photos I have taken of dishes I’ve eaten. Next, I opened Photoshop and made a blank canvas of the exact pixels (960Wx260H). I then resized all the photos to fit onto the banner. After, I feathered the edges of the photos and arranged them on the blank canvas.

The Story:

My name is NOMNOMreeses for a reason- I love food! I enjoy fine dining and love to try new and unique dishes. For this banner design, I decided I wanted to share some of the beautiful and delicious dishes I’ve had recently. This new banner is fresh and and fun! I feel it reflects my name wonderfully. : )

It looks so yummy too…

The Assignment:

Make a ‘what people think I do’ meme.

The Process:

Instead of using a meme generator, I decided to make it from scratch on Photoshop. I picked out the photos I wanted to use (all of which are mine). Then I arranged the photos and added text to a blank black canvas.

The Story:

I’ve been purikura-crazed lately, so the idea popped into my head. Then the rest was simple: I came to Japan for university, so my family thinks I study. I came to Japan to explore, so I chose a picture I took while exploring Asakusa.

Maybe I should’ve purikura-d the meme itself…

EDIT: I posted it on my Tumblr account, which OBVIOUSLY makes it an official meme.

Glazoué: That I may see Thee

The Assignment:

Create an album cover for a band.

The Process:

I went to the wikipedia randomizer page, and got the term ‘Glazoué’ as my band’s name. Next, using the Randomizer in the quotations page, I got the words ‘That I may see Thee’. I was going to use the random photo as the guidelines said, but the photos weren’t Creative Commons. So, to stay safe, I decided to use a picture I took in ?? today.

I then combined these three elements in Photoshop. The font used is ‘Handwriting-Dakota’ (maybe something off of dafont?). To make the font stand out a bit more, I used the backdrop feature. Finally, I cropped my original photo down (it was too long).

The Story:

Glazoué is an American pop-rock band with two male leads, a rapper and singer. The rapper has a style mix of Jay-Z and B.o.B, while the singer has a voice similar to that of Jay Kim from the Trax. There is a female pianist, guitarist and bass guitarist, and a male drummer.

The name Glazoué comes from where they all first met on a volunteer trip. All the members strongly support volunteer work and charity. Their latest cd, titled ‘That I may see Thee’, is a charity cd, and 100% of the cds’ profits go toward aiding victims of 3/11. The cd is a 5 track cd featuring remakes of 4 of their biggest hits, and 1 brand new song only for the cd.
