•May 27, 2008 • 1 CommentI originallywanted to give the message of “everyone has told someones else what to do” and the title would of been “we all tell others whats best for them” and the image of everyone together would represent everyone being similar because they all have told someone what to do. But then i thought it would be a negative message even tho it is true. So i changed the message to “everyone is similar” / “we all contribute to each other”. And the title changed from “we all tell others whats best for them” to “we are we”. its important to me because it took a lot of effort and work and also because the message it gives off and the impact it has of other is lasting imprecision. It get the message out to everyone that everything you do effects other people. The idea for the design just kind of came to me, i didn’t really think about it.

‘Don’t Hate The Game, Hate The Player’

On my ‘succeSs’ layer I used drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, bevel and emboss, and satin. On my ‘Aggression’ I used drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, and inner glow. On me ‘Passion’ layer I used drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow and bevel and emboss. On my ‘Victory’ layer I used bevel and emboss, inner shadow, and outer glow. On my ‘Determination’ I used drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, and Satin.
d) What special brush did you use and where?
I use the Satin stamp tool. I used this on “layer 4”. Layer 4 was on the top layer on my work n’ because of this it gave everything a satiny look. I gives its a smooth glossy look.
