Chase's CGD Portfolio Computer Graphic Design - Chase McFeaters

I created a postcard about New York City, inspired by its culture. Throughout this project, I learned a lot about all of New York City's places and the basics of Photoshop, like how to use drop shadows, layer styles, and a whole lot more. My goal for the project was to create a postcard that captures the essence of the city. The project is quite good overall, but the depth and colors are lacking. I hope my audience will feel like they are seeing a real postcard when they see my project.

This piece is a movie poster that only uses the colors green, black, purple, and red. During this project, I learned about changing images into a few specific colors and also learned a lot about typography. My goal for this project was to make a good-looking screen print movie poster. I feel like this is one of my favorite projects because the concept is cool and the images make the entire thing pop. I hope my audience will see a good movie poster and either wonder how I did it or have the inspiration to try to do it for themselves.

This piece is a book cover for Fahrenheit 451. I learned about how to use layers to create a sense of depth and I also learned a lot about typography. My goal with this book cover was to make a cover that has flames burning through the front of the book. I feel like this is my best piece, and I love how I accomplished my goal. I hope my audience will be interested in the cover, potentially to the point that they will read the book.

This piece is meant to be about how a school's weight is ridiculously large on a student. In this project, I learned how to use layer masks and attempted to improve and incorporate shadows. I wanted to effectively communicate the weight of school. I feel like everything but the shadows and color matching went well. I hope my audience will be able to feel that they are seeing a real image.
