Fixed spelling error

I also moved the post it's to a place I feel looks better.


Added larger author name / put it on the red strip as suggested.

I also added some depth to the letters as if they are rising off the cover.

This is my attempt at remaking an already genius cover for the book American Shaolin  by Matthew Polly

He describes disliking tradition american ways and moving to China to be a Shaolin Monk, and this is why his back is to a dirty American flag. This is a photo of myself, I am not bald. I used several photo shop techniques to make my self bald by taking another persons bald head and blending it into mine
using
Hue and Saturation adjustments
Refined edge
Burn tool
shadows.

Almost all of us have been there

You are at work, nobody is really talking.
Glances and smirks make way across the room.
At school the halls are quite.
The sounds of keystrokes and touch screens.

Where does social media begin to effect the way we interact and communicate as people.

PhotoMontage

The idea for this project came from many recent frustrations with the constant ignorant assumptions and discrimination against bully breed dogs, when the truth is most of the "pitbull" breeds are some of the best dogs I have ever had the pleasure to surround myself with. This a real life photo of my dog Mila who has brought me more joy that I can express in words. I have been a foster dog parent for several different rescues and everyday that passes I hear more and more ill will towards this wonderful breed. I hope that this will combat the many falsities that follow this wonderful breed.

If you think that your dog is not affected because he isn't a pitbull, Think again. Many breeds and mixes are lumped into the pitbull category even if they have no bull breed in them. Protect your animals and your rights. Stand against breed specific legislation.

Digital Art and Design!

Hello,

My name is Jonathan Howarth. I look forward to making some fun digital art in this class and using my knowledge from this class to compliment the foundations for HTML and CSS that I learned from last semester. This is my second semester here at ESC.
