machinery.

i'm actually turning in something on time. kudos to myself... although i might redo it, i'm not super happy with the results. so, i kinda waited until last minute to do this, i've been going crazy trying to finish everything for my internship. it's absolutely nuts the amount of work that's required for it, but after i present tomorrow all will be good. anyway, this is part of one of the engines over at my dad's workshop. i went over there to try and find something to photograph quickly because i needed to get this done and move on to finishing and rehearsing my presentation for tomorrow. so, yeah... i'm kind of rambling, i'm a tad bit delirious, but here you go.

alas - my animal contour... thing.

okay, so this was the hardest project yet. i have literally tried ten different things on this, but i think i finally found something that i like. i decided to draw a little freehand peacock. i actually had fun drawing it. when i finally finished i had no clue what to do with the background. whatever i tried look wonky because the white pieces on the bird were actually white and not cut out so it looked like i missed a spot... if that makes any sense at all. so i decided to give it a border by copying and pasting it and turning the entire thing white and making it a little bigger then putting it behind the black one. i decided to go with a solid background because the bird itself is so busy and it helps it to stand out. anyway... i'm finally caught up on ap stuff!

HALLELUJAH!!!

identity circles.

okay, i'll try my best to explain. here's my identity circles. for the circles themselves, mrs. kerr suggested that i use photos i've taken to make the circles. i tried doing that but it look funky because you couldn't really see a lot of the picture. so, what i did was scale the picture tiny, then blow them back up again to make them all pixelated. that way it looks like cool designed lines, rather than some part of a photograph. then, i picked 4 words to describe myself and then i had my best friend of 17 years pick words for the other side and glued them onto the circles. when i went to go put them in my book i forgot about the background. so, on the side for myself i put "b.o.y.", it stands for "beware of you". something that the singer of one of my favorite bands made up. it means to beware of yourself for the good and the bad things that you are and love yourself for it, something i really believe in. on the other side i put x's and o's because it's from my best friend that i love with all my heart and that's something she would have put on there. so, viola! altered book.
