Presenting Henri Matisse: Portrait of Madame Matisse. The Green Line.
I chose this picture to build upon because I thought it stood out a little. This painting looks incomplete, with rough brush strokes and not many colors. Using rectangles, I tried my best to make a complete piece, somewhat following the original in terms of color.

This is my portrait.
I enjoy the hues I chose for this piece, especially the blues. The arrangement of the pieces show unity, as well as the fact that every Freddie has a deep black in common.
Some of these evoke a taste in my mind, like the top left reminding me of watermelon, and the bottom left being bananas and grape soda. I thought about trying a 'fruity' aesthetic for this piece, but alas, the pop art palate does not allow much freedom...
Overall, pop art feels playful, modern, and fruity. I could put this on a t-shirt and wear it somewhere and feel fashionable.
Here's my interpretation of "Star Light, Star Bright". The nursery rhyme goes as follows: Star light, star bright, First star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight. The man on the bottom right has a flame-like effect above him, meant to look like a wish of sorts. There are three big stars in the sky, serving as the focal point. I made it the focal point by first making it huge, and very bright, just as it says 'star bright'.
Cubism stuff. I used a paper-like texture on the detached pieces on my guitar exercise, and used a cloth texture on my face pieces. Overall I think that these give off an old-photo feel.
Here's my surrealism piece. The bananas juxtapose with the metallic man, him being shiny and the bananas being dull. I made this piece thinking of eating disorders. The man is metallic because he has a hard outer shell, thinking he is fine when people tell him otherwise, and floating on a banana because he thinks of eating. The situation here is so bizarre it looks like a dream, capturing the surrealistic vibe.
Here's my pop art exercise. I began with a simple image of a woman, added filters (as the tutorial instructed), and used a CMYK printer effect on top. The black border was also a nice touch.
And, my propaganda poster. I was a little lost on this one, as promotional content isn't my strong suit... But, I feel quite strongly on America's line of defense, myself wanting to be in the Air Force, and would like strong-willed individuals to consider helping our country.
Here is my Herb Lubalin brochure project, I decided to go with a selection of greens and yellows for this layout. I tried to arrange everything in an organized manner, informing 
Here is my newsletter. I copied and pasted information about Ancient Egypt from Wikipedia, and the images are sourced from there as well. I tried to go for a simplistic design and monochromatic color scheme. On the left of every page is a colored square behind the text, and every one is supposed to be the same color, but for some reason the one on the first page seems more saturated than the rest. Please let me know if it displays that way for you.
Ancient Egypt is very interesting to me, being mysterious with many theories surrounding how the people came to fruition, some people claiming they were aided by aliens… I wish history classes in school covered this topic more.
Here's two screenshots of my webpage I made about Piet Mondrian, and it includes key moments in his lifetime as well as the necessary navigation points within the page.
Here is my animated Mondrian painting, I chose Neo-Plasticism for this project and made it move. I think I could've made it a little more bouncy, but it is satisfactory for the assignment.
And here is my logo bump animation, I didn't use my previous designs for this and instead made a quick logo to insert. Looking back, I could've inserted a better logo but I am satisfied with this result.
