Lauren Alyssa
His masterpieces are all about the colour, which used to present the meaning and connection between the elements in picture. After appreciating his works, I find the appealing of the colour, which severs as a mammoth concept and tool to explain the interior world of artists. And I was thinking that how can we use colour to present our emotion? How to use colour to beautify our life in art works. Inspired by his work, I think I will focus on the use of colour in my final projects to show the power of colourfulness.

Alexander Mcqueen

I am always stunned by the creativity of Alexander Mcqueen. As a fashion designer, he challenged others' imaginaton and renew others' perspectives about fashion industry, which is no longer a industry about clothes or shoes. It is about art! I love the way he combine the aura of art and fashion together, creating a new era of fashion. I think in my final projects, I will target my topic as "fashion". However, more than that, I will add aesthetic feeling to it, making my project a work of art, not just a photo of clothes products.

Devil eyes

First, I downloaded a picture of eye, using the tool in Photoshop to increase the contrast of it and raze the frecles around his eye.

Then I use "darken" tool to darken the edge of his eye to make it dramatic and atrractive. Then I copied the layer, renamed it. I used "variation" to add yellow and golden color on pramary layer. Then I used eraser to rase the area of eye on the new layer, only making eye golden and leaving the other part of this picture the natual color.

Finally, I went to ""filter-render-lighting effects" to lighten the eye area and darken the edge of picture. After combining the layers, I adjusted the color of the whole picture and finished.
