Seven Deadly Sins 7 of 7



Pride is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self.
I had two images come to mind while I was contemplating this design for Pride: one was gay pride, the other was sports. I was a little hesitant to try yo find images for gay pride so I stuck with plan B and of poking fun of the predominant football team here in the valley. This can be manipulated to fit what ever sports team you would want to tease. I really do love my friends that love BYU and hope that they can take a joke.

So after reviewing my final project for Photoshop what do you think of my ability? Beginner? Intermediate? or Expert?

Seven Deadly Sins 6 of 7



Envy is characterized by an insatiable desire. Envy is similar to jealousy in that they both feel discontent towards someones traits, status, abilities, or rewards. The difference is the envious also desire that entity and covet it.
I wanted a picture of an ordinary man looking enviously up at Donald Trump. Do you think the green tones of this collage are too cliche?

Seven Deadly Sins 5 of 7



Wrath also known as rage, may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, and revenge.
For this collage I was trying to find a series of explosions but this was the best I could do. If you were doing this project what images would you use to depict wrath?

Seven Deadly Sins 4 of 7



Sloth is sometimes defined as physical laziness, spiritual laziness is emphasized. Sloth has also been defined as a failure to do things that one should do. By this definition, evil exists when good men fail to act.
I was trying to stick with cold tones, but now when I look back on it I am wondering if is too clieche. What images come to your mind when you think of sloth?

Seven Deadly Sins 3 of 7




Greed, is applied to a very excessive desire and pursuit of material possessions. As defined outside of Christian writings, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs, especially with respect to material wealth.
For this collage, I was trying to collect images of a lot of very rare dollar bills. I myself have never physically seen or touched any dollar bill worth more then 100 bucks. How about you?

Seven Deadly Sins 2 of 7



The next collage is on gluttony derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste.

I wanted a candy land background with as many fast food symbols I could cram in here, and still make it aesthetically pleasing. Does this make you want to hurl or by ice cream?

Seven Deadly Sins 1 of 7

In college I had to take an Adobe Photoshop class to learn more about design. For my final I had to do a project that would take at least ten hours to accomplish so I decided to do seven different collages interpreting the seven deadly sins

My first one was trying to find images that had to do with the sin lust.



Lust or lechery is an intense desire. It is usually thought of as excessive sexual wants, however the word was originally a general term for desire. Therefore lust could involve the intense desire of money, fame, or power as well.

I did my best to show what the sin lust looks like. I did my best to not make it pornographic. I figured the dilated eyes would help with the tone of the collage.

What do you think is it too sexy?
