Mesa Innovation

Before starting my project I wanted to get some good pictures of the newer buildings on Mesa’s campus. I chose this building over the others because it was so different and vibrant.  After researching, I knew right away that I wanted to make a ‘street art’ mural. I was inspired by a mural painted in Poland, #4 on http://www.boredpanda.com/large-scale-street-art-murals/. The mural is an awesome piece of art representing a simple light-switch.  The first thing that came to mind when creating my mural in was innovation.  I used the symbol tool to make the light-bulb shape, and stretched it out was as big as the building. In order to get the right coloring I used the Eyedropper tool. I added these colors using the drop shadow, outer glow, and gradient overlay effects. After I used the text transform tool in perspective mode to fit the image on the slightly slanted building.
