Cartimelon
August 31, 2025
Abby Altschul
For this week’s task, I present to you the Cardimelon. The city of St. Louis would love this image, as it represents a sweet summer treat while also representing their home baseball team. I find the image to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, considering the head of the cardinal seamlessly blends in with the
Jaguar riding Motorcycle
August 31, 2025
Preston Koontz
For our week one assignment I decided to incorporate 2 things into our assignment that I absolutely love. In this photoshopped image I put the head of a black jaguar onto somebody riding a motorcycle. A black jaguar has been my favorite animal since I was a young kid and riding motorcycles has always been
Where Chic Meets Dissonance
August 31, 2025
Mila Petkovic
I included the cheetah itself to tie everything together. I replaced its original eyes with human eyes and placed the cheetah’s eyes in the martini glass as the “olives.” This creates a reversal between human and animal, the person is wearing cheetah print while the cheetah takes on human qualities. I also had the cheetah spit out the martini to add tension and a sense of disgust, since its own eyes are in the drink. I chose the word “Dissonance” because it reflects the clash of elements that don’t belong, while still keeping the piece chic and unsettling.
Cat Cupcakes
August 31, 2025
Riley Laferriere
I chose to create a design which combined cats and a cupcake. I realized that when cats (or other animals) curl up and stacked on top of one another they resemble cupcake frosting. I think this design is whimsical, cute, and playful. I chose to make the cats more subtly integrated into the frosting so
Don’t Believe the Camera
August 31, 2025
Jordan Shane
My first photo conceptually being a photo taken on a camera in a fictional world made it easier for me to imagine the details and setting. Worldbuilding is my strong suit, so referencing a fictional universe was a perfect place for me to begin. The flower (named “Flowey”) is asked to be the subject of
Squirrel in tomato soup
August 28, 2025
Sydney Reyes
I had just had tomato soup as part of my dinner the day I decided to make this, so that’s where I got the inspiration from. I wanted to make something silly, and I ended up with a squirrel in a bowl full of tomato soup.
Finch Creamery
August 28, 2025
Libby Erlenbaugh
I thought of ice cream immediately since its hot out and that is my favorite thing to have after a long summer day! along with the theme of summer I thought about birds chirping and flying around. These two, in an odd way, sort of fit together in my brain when I think of summer.
Blug
August 26, 2025
Natalia Nelson
I chose to create a bear-slug inspired by some of the strange animal combinations that I’ve seen in Avatar: The Last Airbender. I thought the contrast between the bear’s fur and the slug’s skin would be interesting.
Dachshunds and Hot Dogs– Photoshop Fall 25-Animals in things
August 26, 2025
Hannah Cockrum
For my first project I decided to put a red dachshund onto a hot dog. I chose this because my family recently got a dachshund puppy over the summer and she means a lot to me.
Owl & Donuts
August 25, 2025
Alexa Cain
My idea was to take a slightly different approach and see how well two unexpected elements could blend together. I chose donuts and an owl, because the mystical image I found of the owl makes the donut/owl concept feel almost like stepping into another dimension. I also used AI for inspiration when brainstorming animal options.
