My Personal Sketchbook Cover







This sketchbook has a special, personal and unique cover. The cover's theme is the pieces that make me who I am. The over all focus being the picture shows my cat who may not mean much to you but she is means a lot to me. With her getting older I want to keep her close to me as long as I can making her my main photo for the cover. I took this photo of her with my Nikon DSLR camera which was able to capture the amazing texture in her fur. The other elements in my cover like my background showing my interest in magazines. I was able to continue that into the words on the bottom, with them being all cut from magazines. The words  at the bottom are the same as the colors in my name because those little things make me, me! I defiantly used a split complementary color scheme with the Blue/green, red and orange. In addition I used contrast which arrange the elements for the cover.

My Best Photo



To me this is one of my best photographs that I have taken. With being a beginner and being able to capture the true energy in this photo is great. The contrast is on point, between the setting and the focus of the photo this is what makes it stand out. The setting in the woods shows an escape from the chaos of the outside and the dog running is symbolizing getting away from the bad stuff in the world. Sounds cheesy but it's the emotion behind the picture that makes it stand out to me and makes it the best.
