  For my lyrical poster, I was inspired by Taylor Swift's song, "Karma." This is my favorite song on the album, so I tried to incorporate things she describes in the lyrics for my poster. I also wanted to make it a little more personal to me, so I added in a photo of my own cat, Trouble. This was a really fun project because I love music, and I think this was a great way to make a visual piece to correspond with one of my favorite songs. Photoshop has been a really great experience so far, and I definitely enjoyed working with it for this project.

  For this assignment I decided to photoshop myself into a photo from Taylor Swift's music video for her song "Love Story." I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift, so I took advantage of the creative aspect of this assignment to put myself into one of my favorite music videos of all time. This was my first time working in photoshop, so although I struggled a bit, it was overall a good experience. It was somewhat difficult to figure out how to position my photo to fit in a way that made sense, but I think the end result came out nicely. It's not perfect, but I enjoyed the process it took to get to the finished product. Below is the picture I used of myself.

 This assignment was by far the most challenging using illustrator, and I think it was a good way to exercise our knowledge while using the software. My outcome is definitely not perfect, but nonetheless I do feel like I have improved my abilities in illustrator. I chose to recreate my favorite picture of my best friend from high school, because it always makes me smile when I see it. While I struggled throughout the process of this assignment, I think it was a great way to improve my skills. My friend Macy got a good laugh from it too!
