Heraldry Information


--Heraldry has been defined as the art of blazoning, assigning, and marshalling a coat of arms. Its origins are uncertain, but Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King of Arms, has drawn his own conclusion: “[T]he registry of its birth may be found among the archives of the Holy Wars, ...its cradle was rocked by the soldiers of the Cross, and... its maturity was attained in the chivalrous age of Feudalism.”

Between 1135 and 1155 A.D., seals show the general adoption of heraldic devices in Europe. Historians once theorized that a coat of arms enabled a knight to be recognized by his followers during battle. The coat of arms became hereditary just as a knight inherited the right to lead or the duty to follow another leader in battle.

cryptozoology Composite pt2


-- After attaching all the parts and changing the sizes to work with my image. This is my final cryptozoology composition.





-- using the Path and channel I was able to select parts of the animals such as the head of the fox, the tusks from the elephant and the wings of the eagle. I was able to create my own version of an animal. I also adjust the exposure and the vibrance of each image.

David Hockey Inspired Part 2


--I kept using the same steps on making the grid.


--This is the final look.


-- I was comparing one of David Hockney's piece and mine version is a little bit boring. My next step is to go back on my collage style piece and try to add and change some of the gradients and colors.

David Hockey Inspired Part 1

After doing some research on David Hockney's style. I'm going to try to recreate his style using a single Photograph and using Photoshop to change the the scale and adjusting colors.


--This is my main picture that'll be working on.


--I started duplicating the background.


--Then I made extra layers to use.


-- I use the the marque tool to create a square/rectangular shape for the process.
