POSTER


ARTIST STATEMENT: For my poster, I selected a self-portrait of me at the beach, my favorite place on earth. Not only is our world dying but so is our oceans. Garbage and oils and chemicals flood our waters, destroying sea life and their homes. I chose to keep the photo black and white and color the different parts of the oceans blue to people can see the emphasis on the waters. 

                  For the animated look, I placed the image on illustrator and image traced it. Moving from black and white I switched to grey and white and then adjusted everything from there. Trace without lines allowed me to get in every little detail from the water.

P5 Mesh

Image
ARTIST STATEMENT: For my new gradient mesh project, I chose to recreate pink daisy's. Daisy's are my favorite flowers, and normally white I chose the color pink so when creating the mesh, it gives the flower a 3D look. making it look real. I created two types of petals, one having the rows and three columns while the other had 4 rows and three columns. I used the same colors on each point but scattered them differently among the two petals. I wanted to give variety to the flower so each petal didn't look identical to one another. There was no particular placement in which petal went where. I wanted them scattered to look more natural.

AUTOSCOPY

ARTIST STATEMENT: This assignment was something I was really looking forward to altering an image and make it look like a different dimension. The original photo is a selfie of my best friend an I at a music festival, we both have scarves and masks covering our face. The color reflecting off our faces is emphasized by the lights but what draws me to this picture is our big and beautiful brown eyes.     For this project, I created masks around our scarves and eyes. I then put a black and white optical illusion replacing the deleted images so it contrasts well off the colored image. The image itself I wanted to make more bright and bold so I toyed around with the vibrancy and saturation. As well as placing a photo filter of purple on the image to strengthen the colors of the pink and blues. I added text in an American Typewriter font that reads, "It's all in your HEAD." I chose to write a quote there so you can imagine that what you're seeing is all in your head.

ARTIST STATEMENT: I really enjoyed this project, working with video in photoshop. I went through a few trial runs with choosing this video. I had one that involved swimming of fish, a baby on a playground, and ended with this one. I think it turned out fairly well with the exception of tis little blurry hiccup. There is some difficulty when changing the opacity and you can see that in the psd version. When I try to change the second keynote to 0% it either stays at 100 or changes all the keynotes to 0. Other then that I believe the movement of the waves and the standstill of the boats turned out really well.
