Pre-"Somewhere" Photoshop Post


We were asked to go to some provided links and pick photos that fall into certain categories. This would be my selection for a photo that would be hard to photoshop yourself into. I've chosen this one because of the framing and the lighting in this shot. You can see that there's just not a ton of space to import a photo of myself that wont look out of place, and it would also be hard to match the overexposed light coming from the middle of the shot.


This next one is a photo that is supposed to inspire us for the upcoming project where we have to photoshop ourselves into a photo. I've picked this one because this gentleman has not only added some comedy which i appreciate, he has also blended himself in rather impressively. 


This is my photo I've chosen for it's humor. I've seen photos by James before and they never seem to disappoint. This isn't necessarily a "good" photoshop but it is sort of like a genie wish. It's exactly what the younger guy is asking for but not how he expected it.


Finally, this is a "trick" that we would like to replicate. This is another thing that I have seen in the past but it is still very convincing and very interesting. I quite enjoy the use of perspective and i'm impressed that even looking back at the photo fairly close up, it's hard to notice any issues that would lead you to believe that those are not full size cars.

Gradient Mesh

Image
The photo above is my project based around the Gradient Mesh tool in adobe Illustrator, With this tool you can create a shapes and fill them with custom gradients. The objective here was to find a photo that you find interesting, or take a photo yourself of an item that you would like to recreate. I've chosen a photo I took a little over a year ago of a Pop figure I have. I chose this photo because of the simple color palette and the nice variety of light to dark colors. In the photo above, I have the original on the right and the recreation on left. Overall, I'm very proud with how the gradient mesh and how it turned out for me. I had a lot of fun with figuring out how to best use the tool. Initially I began with trying to make the entire picture from a single gradient but I quickly learned that it was far too advanced. So I took a different approach where I would create a shape such as the head and then create a gradient for just that single shape, this method worked muc

Business Cards

Image
In this Project we were to create three business cards. We were supposed to use the logos we previously created. So initially I created some sketches using Adobe Illustrator. I spent more time on these sketches that I was expecting and they were much closer to finished products than my sketches normally were. With this I tried very hard to not find many other inspirations because I didn't want my business card to be plain and boring, so if I ever produce these and give them to clients. Anyways, I've narrowed the cards down to three that i'm happiest with and finalized them inside of Adobe InDesign. Concept One: First, I've chosen this one because I think the logo hanging off the side on the front of the card looks interesting. And the gray lines reaching around to back of the card leads the eyes to the back of the card where it has my Instagram and a couple of the things I'd consider myself good at. Concept Two: This concept was much more simple t

Autoscopy

Image
The Autoscopy is meant to be a change in an environment or a visual hallucination. That's exactly what I attempted to show here. In this photo there's many things I had fun envisioning. As you can see there is a cliff that myself and a small robot are sitting on, enjoying the view. Overlooking a field, which gives off a serious acid trip feel. I had fun mashing together two separate environments that are hardly the same as the originals. Honestly, I couldn't exactly tell you where my train of thought went and why I chose the shapes and colors I did. But I am very happy with the glitchy circles floating in the middle connected by lines. If I were to do this again I believe that I would spend more time focusing on the light in my photo. It was hard to try and change where the light source came from on my body, but i'm still satisfied with the result.
