jacobs compostite

this project was to put together a compostion to create something un realistic such as a dreamlike scene or swap faces of a celebrity and someone else. I created a photo of swirls of color coming out of jenny's ear cause it looks like those are all her thoughts.

out of proportion

This is my out of proportion compostion. I made it on photoshop using a bblown up picture of a pig pasted on to the background of a farm along with a cut out of another picture of someone who would be "scared" by the giant pig. Out of proportion is pretty much done by either blowing up or drastically shrinking an object and putting it next to something related so it can be shown in comparison.

POSTER!!

This is the poster I created. It is advertisting for a Taylor Swift concert. I chose it because I like her music and I also figured it would look cool to do a stamp of her all over the poster, and it did.

scanography



Scanography is basically the art of creating images by scanning objects/pictures with a scanner.These are my three scanned photos. one was a still photo, one was moving (done by shifting position of object while the light was scanning) and one was of a few random objects. Aftfer, I edited them in Camera RAW to bring out the colors etc.

hands



These are three of the images I shot for the "hands at work" assignment. The first one I made cool, the middle one I added a graident to, and the last I turned warm.

Photo Aging

Photo aging is the process of making a recent photograph appear old and worn. I aged my photo using several techniques such as desaturation, adding a yellow-y layer on top and adding a "frame". It makes it look much older.

skin softening




Above are my skin softening photos.
The first one is the example one I edited. Then, there is a before and after of one I did on one of my own photos. They are done by duplicating the layer, changing it to an overlay mode. Then you add a highpass, invert it, change the opacity and go back in with a layer mask to un-fade details such as the eyes.

David Hockney project

This is my version of a David Hockney photo. What he did was take a bunch of different little pictures and put them together to make one big one. I did the opposite and took one big picture and then used photoshop to make it look like a bunch of little pictures put together. :)

POrtraits





For our portraits project, we were supposed to take at least 30 shots of someone. I did my mom. After, we were supposed to chose four. One would be edited in camera raw (1st picture) one would be turned into a stamp (the second two pictures--one is when i created it, the other is using it on a new background), one would be turned into a sketch (second to last) and finally one would be "cross-processed".

reflections

This is my reflection that I created using photoshop. It is a little girl looking at herself in a puddle. I did this by duplicating a later, flipping it and then bringing the opacity down.

dafont

Dafont is the art of blending a font to look as if it it is part of a picture and so that it descirbes/fits with the word and image that it makes. I used a font called wet arial and used a picture with a water background. My word was summer time and i used a gradient on top of the font so that it blended in wwith the picture.

favorite photographer

For this project I put together a little slideshow/video with my favorite pictures from a photographer of my choice. I chose the photographer I chose because I love the vivid colors he captures in every photo. To create this, I used Windows Live Movie Maker.

Jumping off the page!

This image was a water faucet and i layered it over a blue background which i blended in with the color replacement tool and put that on top of a picture of water droplets. finally i added  a shadow behind my faucet to give it an extra pop.

Macro photos





The macro setting on my camera allows me to capture details on close up shots, and then by sharpening the photos, I enhanced those details even further.

downtown mall!








These are my downtown mall pictures, five edits,  my differences, and two photos one from each theather. In the edits I transformed the picture by changing things such as the color contrast, saturation, and whiteness.
