Somewhere Project

 





Time to complete: 1 hour

            For my somewhere project I decided to use a photo from Family Feud because this was one of my favorite shows to watch when I was growing up. I figured that I could pretty easily photoshop myself as one of the family members standing at their podium, so this is what I decided to do. I also always wanted to be a contestant on this show, so I knew that this project was my chance to get as close to being on the show as I could. I used many different techniques for this project, mainly the masking technique. I had to mask myself out of the photo that I placed embedded into the original photo of the family. I used the refine edge brush tool, to get a more perfect image of myself around the rough edges that were originally present. 

            Once I had the proper image of myself in there, I placed in a few different adjustment layers to try and make myself blend in a little bit better. I messed with the hue and saturation and vibrance adjustment layers to saturate myself more and use some cool colors. I decided to place my tag brush right next to the family name because I thought this was the most fitting place for it. It's supposed to be acting like our family symbol; it's like the logo tag brush is representing our family name. I made it red because I thought it would really pop out if it was red. I really enjoyed this project and took my original idea and ran with it. I didn't realize photoshop is not as hard as I once thought it was.

    You did a great job masking and embedding yourself into family feud ! You used this project to achieve one of your dreams in a way and I think that's pretty cool.

Autoscopy Project

Image
  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

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
