Black Swan Business Cards

                                                                Professional:

                This business card is my professional business card. There isn't too much on the card. It's neat and nothing on it is disgusting and too much. I flipped both swans and put a linear gradient on them with colors of black and dark red so both swans looked mad and as if they didn't get along. The background is pink because the card is about marriage counseling and in the end you want the marriage to be happy and for them to love each other. The title is has a black font, it is readable and is underlined which all makes the title look neat and clean.
  
 
Mid-level:

This business card is my mid-level business card. The card doesn't have a lot of work done on it but its not professional. The swan has a picture of waves pasted inside. The surf board was made using the elipse tool. I made the gradient linear with colors or blue and yellow. I changed the font color to dark blue for the information so it would be a little hard to see. The background is a rectangle with a light blue fill so all the colors seem alike.

                                          Unprofessional:

                          This business card is my unprofessional business card. The card has too much going on and the colors don't exactly work together. I made the font chiller since it's a butcher shop and it's harder to read. I made the background a gradient of waves with colors black and white. On top of that I made a smaller square with a contour gradient with colors yellow which is really bright and annoying and a red. I made the fonts for the information different fonts and font colors so it looks unprofessional. Using the slice tool I made the swan's head look like it was cut off and changed the head to the color purple. In the top left corner is a smaller swan that looks as if it is running away since the card is for a butcher shop.

Black and White Animal Pointillism


                           Original Picture:
               Black & White Pointillism Picture:
     To create my pointillism picture I found a black and white animal online and saved it in my public folder. On Adobe Fireworks I opened the saved picture on a new canvas. I put the picture in a new layer and locked that layer. I added a new layer and created a new bitmap. Using the brush tool I made the tip 5 and using the color picker I went over the eye and chose that color. Each part of the eye was a different color and I did the same for the other eye. For the fur I used the same tip ,but added a grain texture. For the outline of the Pug I used a tip size 7 and 8 for the paws. The blanket which is kind of hard to see because it's white and the background were all made using a brush tip size 10. I made the background brush tip size 10 so it would stand out from the Pug and the Pug I made brush tip size 5 for the most part to get all the detail the original picture had. Each color for each part of the picture was chosen using the color picker.
