      Project #1- Collage
 In project, one is my collage. My collage was about me.  It was about all the things that are important to me and things that describe me. We could only use pictures we took on our own. In our visual design class we could of done any kind of collage, it had to be creative as well. We had to at least had thirty pictures and we only had three to four days in class to do it. After that, our classmates criticized it and gave us feedback on what to improve and what we did well.
                  
Project #2- Logo
In this project, we created our own logo. This project as well as the others we had to use our own pictures or create our own using Photoshop. We could make a logo for anything that we would like. My logo was something that would represent Cross Country. I did the logo only using the shape tool, text tool, and the colors. Like every other project the class saw it and judged it and commented in our project.
                
  Project #3- Business Card
In this project, it is difference instead of using Photoshop we had to use another program called InDesign. We made our own business card like if were business workers. We before analyzed other business card before we did ours. We use text and our pictures to create it.  We had three days and we had to add all the elements in a business card.
                 
Project#4-Advertisment
This is our fourth project and we had to make an advertisement. Our teachers gave us iteams we had to advertise. They were the black box, yellow ball, and the red star. We had to be creative and make them anything we wanted to and make an advertisement.  Mine was the black box and it was magical. It turned into a housewife and did all the things a housewife did. At the end of our project we presented it to the class.
                 
Lab 1_P1- In lab one our class went outside to take pictures of anything you could see. You needed to have to at least ten pictures. After that we had to add the color effects on to every picture we took. You had to keep one picture normal and the other one with the effects and they had to be the folder to keep them organized.
                
  Lab #2_P1-  In this lab we had to use paint brush, pencil, mixer brush,  specialty brush tips, and the pattern stamp tool and we used it to make random things to see how that brush works. We wrote on name and saw the different between them.
                 
Lab 3- In this lab we used to pictures to show the effects of different kinds of filters. I did liquify, water color, and film grain, solarize, smart blur, and the glass filter. We saw how the affected the picture. The background I changed to a cloud effect.
               
   Lab 4- In this lab we had to use different shapes and we had to insert text inside that shape. We could of also written outside the shape. We used a scissor shape to write almost around the shape. this helped us to make our advertisement for our company.
                
  Lab P4_1- This lab was an advertisement to bad habits teenagers have. I decided to make a advertisement about underage drinking alcohol.  I wanted to make it stand out to grab that person attention and by grabbing their attention I used bright eye catching colors rather than dark and dull colors.
