Research4: Revolution Symbol

This was the flag during the Russian Revolution. The symbols on the flag are a hammer and a sickle.Russia was not doing well Economically or politically at that time , so the hammer represents the workers (factory/industrial), and sickle: Farmers.

In Class Exercises4 *Pixel Portrait*

This is an exercise to do 5 pixel portraits, by using 50x50 pixels grid in Photoshop. One pixel by one to colour in to create likeable school staff portraits.

It takes a long time to create each portrait, which those colour pixels has massive of different colours on a face. So I limited down the colours to 6 or less by adjustment colour in photoshop. This way makes it a bit easier to colour in, and I love the finial image all though pixel portrait can takes forever to do.
