Logo Tag Brush

 

    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 saved as a brush stroke. Using the newly created brush stroke the brush was placed down and its color was changed. On the final Logo created Green and Blue were layered over each other so that each color was visible. 

    I really enjoy the look of my logo. I like the imperfections of the logo and how it is so unique. Even though everyone essentially used the same textures in this project, no two logos look the same. The grunge of the logo is different from anything I have ever done before because it is not a style I would typically use. Creating this tag brush took a little over an hour, however this brush was created following the directions of Professor Roundtree which helped enormously!

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 t...

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 ...

Propaganda Poster

Image
        Ice cream is by far my favorite food, I believe there is never a wrong time to have it. Depending on the flavor it could cover almost all of the food groups on the food pyramid, dairy, sugar, grain, and even fruit. Within my poster the two phrases which any ice cream lover would agree with are "Eat ice cream daily for happiness" and "never settle for just one scoop". When deciding on what I wanted my propaganda to be I was very conflicted. I wanted my poster to convey a cause however I also wanted my poster to represent me. I find WW2 very interesting so I started my search there. Although I find it very interesting I didn't;t feel a connection to the any of the inspirational propaganda posters I was looking at. Eventually I came to the realization that I liked the old times feel to the posters so I decided to look at propaganda posters from different decades. It is then I become every inspired by propaganda posters from the 1950's. Using the idea o...
