Business Card

 I chose different shades of the colors from within my logo to make the logo not blend in with the background. I also chose a few different layouts to spice up each card. The ones that looked plain got a few extra doo-dads to make it look as interesting as the rest. I chose each of the designs that were the most interesting as well as the most different from each other. 

Postcard

The postcard was required to be of the solar eclipse, originating from somewhere where the eclipse was in full view. The image I chose was one where the trees were visible around the eclipse, which also looks less yellow and orange than usual. It made it super aesthetic for the other color choices within the postcard. The postcard is from Houston, Texas because that is one of the places the eclipse was in full view.

Animation HW 1

 (32) Tweening/Keyframing in Photoshop Animation- A Lazy Tutorial - YouTube

Tweening is an easy way to make a small animation in Photoshop. It is where you move each frame little by little to make it move in the frame. This utilizes onion layers to see how much each frame moves to adjust this. This way to animate is easier than most ways and makes for a smile, small animation.

Each frame being a layer and toggling these layers on and off allow for you to see the layers or not. Each layer is a new frame. It seems super overwhelming to have this many layers, but this tutorial makes it seem much less intimidating. Even though there are so many frames and layers, it makes it seem less overwhelming when you see other people do this. 

Somewhere

 

I decided to take the most well-known scene from my favorite series and edit myself into it. I decided to make the pose where I was on the ground grabbing at my ankle, as if I had a chain around it and I was trying to figure out how to get it off. I originally had a different image picked but decided to switch to this one due to all three of the main characters appearing in this one. The only issue I had with editing was trying to match myself perfectly to the coloration the film has. I stand out a bit due to the film being a bit blurrier than my image. The image and pose are supposed to show a panic within me.

Photoshop HW 3

 

I feel like this image would be hard to edit myself into. The pose with the cheek being pulled would be hard to acquire properly. I also feel as if the shadows and shading would be hard to make properly.

This image is inspiring for my Somewhere project. The two people standing next to each other is the premise of what I am planning to do.

This image made me laugh due to the idea of it. James edited the woman herself, instead of what she was asking because her boobs are probably plastic. It's a funny play with words.

The image is something I would likely recreate. I post a decent number of selfies and this would be the image that would be most inspiring for editing them. 

BW To Color

My images are all color shifts of the same image, which represented my time in the hospital after getting run over by a car. The image represents how people were there for me during this time as well as how frustrating the process was. The use of warm colors, such as pinks and reds are used to show the anger I felt. This is why the pink is in every image. The cool tones, such as purple and green are used to show the slow grueling process I had to be patient during. If I wasn't patient during the 8 hours in the hospital, I would have lost my mind, which is shown with the mixing of these colors.
