Title: Two Cats in a Museum

Spring 2024

Software: Adobe Photoshop

Description: I added 2 images of cats in an image of a museum. The reason I chose this is because I absolutely love cats and I also like going to museums, so I thought I should composite the two together. I added adjustments of shadows, highlights, exposure etc. to the cats images to blend them together better with the museum image. I also added a filter to the picture. I think it was harder at first but as I added adjustments I got a little comfortable using the software.

Title: A smiling cat

Spring 2024

Software: Adobe illustrator

Description: A used light pink color for the background and drew a simple cat face that is smiling. Again, I love cats so this idea instantly came to my mind. To be honest, using Illustrator in the beginning was hard for me, especially the pen and shapes tool. I searched for tutorials on YouTube and was able to understand the basics and thankfully was able to complete my project.
