 The font in this image is script. I can tell this because the letters are connected to gather as if it was one stroke of the pencil also this type of font gives off a fancier vibe. I think that the font was well used considering that this was a sneaker box "Sacouny" just in case you were wondering and it gives that sense that your buying a high quality object.
 The font in this image is decorative. We all know the Star Wars font and it looks kind of hand drawn in a way. Decorative fonts like this is best for iconic logos that just so happen to be having a movie come out next year that's gonna be soooooooo good.
 The font in this image is modern. I say that is it modern because their are differences in the thickness and thinness of the lines and their also on a vertically axis. I think the font on the back of this shirt is pretty much for creative purposes, I like it and I think it fits the shirt well.   
The font in this image is slab serif. The mark of each letter is made with thick strokes, and there is no transitions between think and thin in the writing. The font is I guessed use to effect here considering the product is honey so I guess a straight to the point font like slab serif would be good.
 This font is a example of sans serif. The font has no serifs and their is no varying thickness in the letters. This font for the trains stations was a very good choice in my opinion.The font is very clear and easy to follow when reading which is perfect for the subways.
This font is old style. The reason this font is old style is because their is a clear transition between the thick and thin lines, and also the lines seem to be on a vertical axis. I think the choice of font here was appropriate because the its clear and easy to read also their is the fact that I found this in a  book.

My Favorite Font


     Hand Writing-Dakota
I like this font the best because I like the hand written look a lot, it seems more natural and fits me better than regular Times New Roman font.

-A logo that I enjoy is the Saucony logo. The reason that I like Saucony is because the sneakers are mad comfy and they also have really cool color ways for the sneakers that are type wavy, like the ones I have that are part of the "Three Rivers" pack.




-A new logo that I have just been made aware of due to the 150 of the best logo's of 2014. The logo is really cool with the lone samurai guy, which makes it type wavy.

The Before and After

The before of Mr. Garfinkel in Millennium :
I put Mr. Garfinkel in a distant place far from anything after a really crazy day at Millennium because I feel like it would be funny to see Mr. Garfinkel try and function on a stranded island that has like one tree on it. I took a picture of Mr. Garfinkel and then I set up the background and pasted him on that. I then transformed him to fit my needs in this project.

 
After Mr. Garfinkel's wild night he ended up somewhere:

The G.I.F.


1. After completing the project I guess I feel most confident with the Polygonal Lasso tool because it was a really big part of my project mostly because of the fact that I used it to make the guy kinda grow out of the diamond spear thing that I made.
2. I wish I was more comfortable with the paint brush tool mostly because I have a straight line thing and I hate using things that don't give me straight lines, so yeah thats why I wish I was better at the paint brush tool.
3. I guess for the next photoshop creation I would wanna work with like actual pictures that were like taken by me.
-Also the concept is growth, the guy grew out of the diamond to show the growth of a man and how his growth affects his life. The growth of this mans life is signified by the crown and the scepter/spear that he has so he can address his subjects. He also puts his hand down which show how mature his growth has made him in the eyes of us his subjects. So yeah growth.

Art Reflection

1. The first thing I had to do was really draw the sky line which is normally easy and appealing to look at however the negative part is that you almost always have a lot of white space left on the picture that you have to fill up at some point in the process. Also for mostly all of the project I used a pencil which was nice for the second part of my master plan which was shading in the sky and making the G-symbol as I've grown a custom to calling it. The third part and the part I had the most trouble with was making the G-symbol stand out in the mostly pencil picture so I used a lot of yellow and white color pencil to sort of brighten the area around the picture.
2. When I originally came up with the concept of a letter in the sky I was first thing to myself like who the hell puts something in the sky to signal things, and immediately like the true nerd I am, I said Batman. Batman with the legendary bat symbol, was my inspiration for the project I represented this mostly with the tiny  silhouette of The G-man himself a top one of the buildings in the picture and also the night sky played a part  in it seeing as Batman and G-man only work at night, it's convenient for them.
3. For me the most challenging aspect was making the G pop out on the page. It was covered with the dark pencil marks and originally it was much smaller which kinda took away from the point of the letter project so it had some fixing to do. Also being directly related to the bat man symbol it needs to have some sort of yellow kinda coming off it or else whats the point so that was also kind of hard making the symbol actually shine.
4. Overall, I liked the project and I say I'm satisfied with it. I'd say I'm satisfied mostly because I got all the small details I was looking to get on to the paper on to paper I didn't really forget to do anything and I made a effort, so as long as I did that I'm happy with it.
5. If I could change one thing I would get rid of the second level in the sky line. The reason I'd get rid of it is because I'd have more room to make the G bigger and in the process make it the actual main focus of the picture.  

Inspiring Person


 

My life has always seemed to revolve around my older brother. My older brother has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember considering the fact he taught me everything I know. My older brother is who I looked up to when I was younger until I realized at like 11, he was a terrible person. Naturally like most younger brothers he rubbed off on me, not literally, and I became just like my older brother.  My older brother inspires me in a sense that I want to surpass him in life and just be better than him in general cause in true brother fashion my job as the little brother is to beat him at something, literally anything, and that has yet to happen.  

This picture perfectly reflects the relationship me and my brother hold, me being the one trying to fight back against and come out on top of the terrible person known as my older brother. I aspire to beat him, and one day, one fateful day I'll do it.
