BW to Color


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 however once I figured out everything the final two images were very easy to produce. I am now much more comfortable with Photoshop overall. I didn't particularly choose an art style for my photo because I didn't feel as though this photo fit within the bonds of one art style. I loved all the color schemes because all my favorite colors were displayed.  My favorite element of each photo was the bouquet because I loved the way it stood out against all of the other colors. If I were to do this project again I would maybe choose a color scheme with less vibrant colors to see how the overall tone of the image would change.

Autoscopy

Image
 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 the galaxy into the backg

Somewhere

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

Business Card

 Business Cards  ·         For my business cards I decided to stick to the color scheme of my original logos I created on Adobe Illustrator. I believe that business cards are very important because they represent my "company", very similar to how the logo represents me as a person. The business cards I created converts important personal contact information, but it also would be the first exposure that a customer sees of my "company", so it needs to be compelling. For my first business card I decided to keep the theme of the four-leaf clover and created a green ripple effect as the background and have my name in a fun font. For my second business card I wanted to create a more official business card look that looks more professional. I used grey and black colors to get the high-end look. For my final business card, I went for a more retro look. I included the same colors of the purple and the green in the original logo. I also included different png's to show wh
