The Collage

 Hey there!
For my collage, I picked the color orange for many reasons. It is both the happiness of yellow, and the energy of red. I think this fits me because I try to be as optimistic as possible, and I can be very energetic. Orange also has to do with the tropics (I live in Florida), enthusiasm, creativity, determination, and success. Orange is also the color of strength and endurance in heraldry.  I think all of these apply to me, so I picked orange.  I hope you like it!

"Animals, Initials, Masking, & Textures"

Hey there!

I have to say, coming up with this animal was pretty difficult, working with the initials H C S. I found that I could shape them into a jellyfish! The elongated H is the bottom part of the body of the jellyfish, the sideways C is the top of the body, and the skinny S is the tentacles.  I am pretty happy with the end result, and now I also know more about Photoshop! I learned how to use the move tool, masking tool, type tool, transform tool, brush tool, and the layers panel.
