                                                                    My 12 Sketches:                     I am going to go with the third sketch, (the one where it says, "My Website Portfolio By Reece Robinson, with my own picture at the very bottom of the Homepage"). Link to my website: https://reecerobinson559.wixsite.com/my-site     Brief statement: I included a picture of my own self, and placed it, on the bottom of my "Homepage," of my own website. My design and navigation are very effective, because I included a "Contact" button, on the center of my Homepage, in order to be able to navigate to the "Contact" page, where all of my contact info, is (such as my real street address, city, state, mobile #, etc). 

                                                                                  My 12 Sketches:                                                                                                                  As you can see from all of my 12 sketches here, I have chosen the very first sketch, (the one with the dotted ears, and eyes).                  File Link: file:///C:/Users/reece/Downloads/M4%20CP%20-%20Book%20Cover%20Design%20(Part%201)%20By%20Reece%20Robinson%20(Updated).psb       Brief Discussion: One gestalt principle, that I had used was simplicity (I am not really sure, but I think this could be it), because I had just used a simple black outline, around the outside of the pink pig figure (on the front or left cover). Another gestalt principle, that I had used was, "closure," because I had used several little black dots, in order to form the shapes for the facial features of the pig (such as the ears, eyes, nose, and legs). I am trying to create a book cover, for

 Before: After: Brief Summary:  For the second part of the avatar project, I used "Nelson Mandela," still, as my portrait. I also included both the "before" and "after" juxtapositions, as shown above. In addition, I had used the paint brush tool in a black color, in order to outline and color the outside of the blue facial stripes. I also had used the paint brush tool, for coloring Nelson Mandela's hair black, like the real avatar, from the movie. I had used several Photoshop tools, such as the paint brush (for hair and stripe outlines), the pen tool (for forming the blue facial stripes), etc. This project aims to bring individuals' virtual identities to life by skillfully manipulating and enhancing photographs, resulting in visually expressive avatars. Through the seamless integration of Photoshop techniques, such as digital painting, photo retouching, and color grading, the avatars are tailored to reflect the individual's preferences. This pr

Before: After: Related brief statement: For the first part of the avatar project, I used "Nelson Mandela," as the portrait. The utilized manipulation tools, and techniques in the creation of my avatar, are: (Edit Transform-->Warp), the Brush tool (for making my small little white dots, all over the face), and the Pen/Fill tool. I had also lowered the opacity for the blue color, over the face of my own portrait. 

Sketches Of My 3 Possible Intended Hijacking: Related brief statement: For the first sketch, I placed a polar bear on a tall, thin glacier. I put the words, "EXTINCTION," in order to symbolize that climate change and global warming, could lead to the dying off and extinction of the polar bear species. For the second sketch, I used the yin yang sign, and placed the two words, "BLACK" and "WHITE," on each of the 2 respective sides (black and white), to represent two different races of people. For the third sketch, I placed a shield, near the handle of the gun, and the words, "STOP VIOLENCE!," in order to symbolize the prevention of gun violence, all around the globe. 3 Original Famous Images I Am Hijacking: My 12 Small Sketches:
