Autoscopy Project

 







Estimated time to complete: 1 hour

            My initial inspiration for this project was that I feel like sometimes I have my head in the clouds. I feel like I am a daydreamer, and I always find myself staring into "space." When I do catch myself staring into space, I like to think about aliens. I have always though aliens were so cool and we barely know what life exists on our planet, so I definitely do feel like there has to be some form of life on other planets. I also wanted to play with the idea that I like to stare into "space," by using some elements from space, such as the UFO and aliens. I thought this would be clever. 

            I had to use many different tools to get this project completed how I wanted it to be, such as the quick selection tool to make all of my masks. I had to make four different masks for myself, both aliens, and the UFO. I also added adjustment layers to everything to make the colors exactly how I wanted them. I also had to use the refine edges tool on all of my masks, in order to make the edges smoother to blend in the photo. All in all, I really enjoyed this project and finally getting to express myself using these alien. This project was fun, and I think being a daydreamer is a good thing. I don't want to change myself, and I think it's not a bad thing to have your head up in the clouds sometimes.

    Your project looks absolutely amazing! Its great how you took the more literal route for "head up in the clouds" and "staring off into space." The project you created looks really fun and vibrant with the images you choose and it gets you in a good mood too.

    I love this so much! It is such an original idea; I like how you did not just edit yourself into clouds but you added different sky and space related objects. I really like the touch of different aliens and UFOs. It has such a good vibe to it. Also, you did an amazing job blending yourself into the background, refining your edges with the layer masks definitely helped. Overall, awesome job!

      Thank you so much for your feedback! I definitely had to work hard on that mask to get the edges of my hair to look how I wanted them to. The masks were tough, but I figured it out in the end.

      Thank you so much! Masking myself out to look like I was really in the sky was tough.

Business cards

Business card 1 (front to back): Business card 2 (front to back): Business card 3 (front to back):          Estimated time to complete: 2 hours          For my business cards, I decided to do three different color versions all with my three different color logos with colors that I chose because I think they are aesthetically pleasing. I really enjoyed doing this project because now that I am so familiar with photoshop and illustrator, a lot of the tools are the same or very similar in indesign. I had to use many different tools, such as the frame tool to put my logo in every page, many different layers so I could keep track of all my backgrounds, text, and images, and also the rectangle tool to create my backgrounds. I also played with the opacity for mainly the backs of my business cards by turning down the opacity, so it looks like the back of a business card.           For my first business card, I really wanted to use the idea that the words were kind of shooting out of the needle

Self Portrait Propaganda

Image
  Total time for completion: about 4 hours      The basic idea of my self portrait was to display a happy image of myself by using and combining different shapes and tools in adobe illustrator. The idea that I chose for the propaganda aspect of the project was “stop and smell the roses,” because I think it is important to enjoy life while you are living it. Some tools I had to use for this project include the shape builder tool, which helped me combine shapes to create the look that I wanted, and it also helped me create the shadow on my face. I wanted to include my freckles in the portrait because I feel like they are an important aspect of who I am, and they make me, me. As far as the propaganda goes, this saying is important to me because I tend to get really caught up in the hard work of life, that I forget to enjoy it. I really tend to forget to just have fun and enjoy life because I am too focused on schoolwork or what I need to do everyday to be successful. The saying “stop an
