Cumulative Project


For this project I decided to choose my best works of this year. I decided to create a maroon background with powder blue lettering because they compliment each other well and are two of my favorite colors. I arranged my projects in a random order in way to look good.

Movie Poster


For this project I decided to use the three main characters as images with a background of the sun with rays shining into the characters. I thought that the sunshine reveals the hope and even though there was a massive genocide in Rwanda, there was still hope amongst the citizens. I thought that this was a very fun project and I enjoyed doing it.

6 Images


For this image I decided to show the country of Rwanda with a skull and crossbones to reveal the genocide that occurred to all the innocent people. I also wrote innocence does not matter because the tootsies and hutus were vicious and killed anyone that was not one of their own. 



For this symbol i showed UN flag in between the Tootsie and Hutu flag with a low opacity to reveal the flames in the background. The flames represent the destruction that they caused in Rwanada. Lastly, the UN flag is warped because it was so difficult for them to protect the innocent people.


This image represents the machete going through the UN logo to represent the UN attempting to protect  
but the machetes were used by the Hutus. This represents evilness by the Hutu.


This image represents all the innocent Rwandans stuck in Rwanda and pleading for the UN to help them but the UN did travel back to Europe. The main message is help from the UN.


 I tried to show one person making a difference which in Hotel Rwanda was Paul trying to protect the innocent by welcoming them into his hotel. The people behind are the innocent Rwandans and Paul is the yellow brownish man in the front.


For this last image i tried to show the country of Rwanda asking for help but the main countries looking away. The one country not shown is France because they did help Paul and the innocent people. 

Hotel Rwanda- Text Illustration


For this project, we were to create a word and use stencil effect to put images behind the word. I decided to put the images of the nons, the wife and kids, the UN General, and and Paul behind the word hope. I thought that this reveals all the characters and shows the main theme of the move: Hope.

Color Wheel


For this project, we were to create a silhouette using a photo. The silhouette i made was a football and the background photo is myself taken earlier in the year. I chose several colors that look pleasing to the eye for the background color using photo filter.
