LOGO

I chose this design because it is my initials: JC. I also like the coloring because it is a nice blend of pink and black.
What I did right was the techniques of putting it all together. I also did many effect such as outer glow and emboss to the letterings. 
What I could've done better was the background. I could've made it better than making it plain black. I could've put a deign to the background or make it more abstract.

T Shirt

I chose this design because I've always liked T-Shirts with sayings or quotes. I also like the song "Perfect Two," so i took the lyrics and used it as the saying on the shirt. In the front it shows perfect pairs like peanut butter and jelly. Even the butterflies in the belly. In the back I used a design of rainbow, made a duplicate of it, and changed the angle to make it look like wings. This is because love make you fly (: . I also put color my world because of the rainbow. 
What I did right was I did the right elements. I did the back and front design of the T-Shirt. I also did the methods of taking the right pictures that would match the words/phrases I added to the shirt. 
What I could've done better was make it a more abstract design. I also could've made it more colorful and lively. It is kind of plain. 

Beatles Poster

I chose this design because most Beatles pictures were in black and white. I wanted to add some color to it. I really likes the background of the colorful shadow shapes of the bodies of the Beatles. I included a picture where all the Beatles are shown. 
What I did right I did the gradient technique to blend the black and white picture with the colorful picture. I added all the elements required for the poster such as the title and date. I also have all of the members of the Beatles in the picture. 
What I could've done better was that i could have made a better design. I could've also made a better method of doing different fonts and colors. I could've also made it with more originality.

Book Cover


-I chose to do this design because I love the beach designs. I've already dreamed of a paradise. I've also wondered what it'd be like to stranded on an island. This could be one of the perfect love stories.  For the back i took a cloud that looks like a heart because the book is about a love story, but a beautiful one. For the front I chose a beach side with me in it. 
-What I did right?

I properly cropped myself into the beach background. I did an outer glow. I put all the elements that were required. I also did all the formatting right. I made a summary of the book. I also chose designs that were related to the idea of the book.
-What I could've done better..
I could've made a better design. i could've put simple adjustments to the design to let it have a better flow. I could've also put a picture of myself in the back since I'm the author. I could've also put a bio about myself in the back. In the front I could've made sure there were no spelling mistakes before I save it.

Movie Poster

I chose the Hannah Montana Movie so that the only editing i needed were the faces. I chose to change the title to "The Best of Both Filipinos." I am full filipino which gave me the idea for the title. I also have wanted to see different perspectives of the a boy and a girl. 
What I did right was the editing of the faces. I took out the picture of Miley Cyrus and replaced it with Andrei Oftana and Janielle Cuala's face. I also had all the elements required for the project. 
What I could've done better was make the design a little better. I could've added more details, minor and major. I could've done a better movies poster that had to do more work.

Self Portrait

I chose this design because it symbolizes what my interests and passions are. They background consists of a sunset on the beach,flowers,and music notes. I love long walks on the beach especially when there's a sunset. I love the beauty of ANY flower. My greatest passion is music. It just makes my life easier and happier. The little pics on the corners are a heart and sports. Sports is another of my passion. I enjoy basketball the most. There's a heart because I just love "LOVE". I'm a very loving person.
What I did right was the techniques. I used the gradient tool to put the three images as the background. I also used soft erase so that the smaller images would appear.I took pictures that represented me.
What I could've done better was the picture of me. I could've used more effects. I could've made the erase more accurate too. I could've mixed better pictures.
