 AUTOSCOPY The term autoscopy is derived from the Greek words "autos" (self) and "skopeo" (looking at). An autoscopy is a self-portrait with alternations to represent oneself or an experience. Within my autoscopy I included many space elements, specifically earth and different images of the galaxy. My final composition is composed of 4 images, my image, earth, a purple galaxy, and an orange galaxy. Each image has a hue/saturation alternation along with an opacity change. The inspiration for this piece came from an image where a galaxy was embedded into a woman’s face. This gave me the idea of incorporating space into my autoscopy. The first thing I did was isolate my face and body from the original image. From there I change the hue and saturation of myself. To add more detail to my face I then isolated my lips, changing them to a blue color. I wanted myself to have a cool saturation to represent Earth in a way. I then embedded a picture of t...

Somewhere-Dolphin Tale For my image I choose to put myself in one of my favorite childhood movies, Dolphin Tale. Winter's passing inspired me to photoshop myself into the movie and replace one of the main characters Hazel. Winter served as an inspiration as she learned to swim with a prosthetic tail after she was injured from a crab trap rope. Although Photoshop is not my favorite Adobe platform, I had a lot of fun with this project. After using all the methods we have been taught in class, everything started to come together. Overall, the hardest part of the whole project was including my tag brush on Sawyer's shirt.  Originally, I wanted to find a photo from the movie where more of the cast was in the photo however the images I found where not high enough resolution or displayed what I had in mind. I decided the photo with the three main chapters was very fitting for this project because it wasn't too busy and included all the aspects of the movie that I loved.  Modeling ...

 Photoshop 2 Homework 1) I believe it would be very hard to photoshop myself into this image because of how dark the photo is and how they are all touching. Additionally, if you zoom into the photo there is a specific grain over the entire photo.  2)This image inspired me because I love the whimsical aura it gives off. This image was an instant mood booster for me so I would like to photoshop myself into a photo that would be a mood booster for other people. I also just love the overall look and colors of this image.  3)This photo made me laugh because people were asking for the boy in the background to be photoshopped out but the artist just zoomed in on the boy. No photoshop was done, the only thing that was done was zooming in and cropping.  4)I would like to create this illusion because of the simplicity of it. I think it is very inspiring that they used such an ugly background to produce such a beautiful photo. 

Black and White to Color                 For my Black and White to Color photos I decided to use a photo from my Senior Prom because I love the colors and the texture of our dresses. I converted the original photo to black and white within photoshop. From there the abode color wheel was utilized. I choose three color wheels that I thought would be represented very nicely within my photo- square, triad, and  complimentary. I added the colors I liked the most in the color wheel to be the most significant color. For example in the Triad image. I choose the make the bouquet blue because it stuck out so much within the outline of myself and my friend Elise.               Overall, I enjoyed doing this project because it allowed me to  preserve when I ran into trouble. I would have to say that this project took m over 2 hours just because I had a lot of difficulty getting started ...

        For this assignment the Black and White Logo I created in Abode Illustrator was edited in Adobe Photoshop to mimic a Graffiti Tag Brush. Essentially I turned the logo into a brush stroke through a series of techniques. Within this new brush the colors of blue and green where chosen to represent my logo. Keeping in mind that the logo originally created was supposed to represent us I decided to keep Blue and Green within the color scheme of my Tag Brush because the meaning behind those colors very well represent me.      To start off, using an 8.5 by 11 new canvas my four leaf clover logo was embedded and its size was adjusted using COMMAND T. Then the logo was whole was outlines using the  Polygonal Lasso tool. From there the layers and paths of the logo were  manipulated .  One   the  Tag Brush was to the desired look based on texture size and  placement  of the textures  the   image was sa...

 My thoughts on the following videos on photoshop tools for beginners: Glow Effect - Photoshop Tutorial | Glowing Effect   I thought this video was so interesting, I loved the end result of the image. I personally would've never of thought to create glowing antlers but I love that with photoshop you are giving that ability to create whatever you can imagine. I still can't quite figure out how adding a Gaussian Blur gave that glowing effect, so if I were to create something similar I know that would be an issue I would have to fix. However once I figured out how to add that blur I believe changing the colors of the blur would be easy because you would go under the properties section similar to Illustrator.  Double Exposure Effect - Photoshop Tutorial  In the video the artist combined two photos together, a woman's head and a mountain landscape. I thought it was very cool how the artist was able to manipulate the size of the canvas to fit the width of how they wanted t...
