Autoscopy


    Above is my autoscopy project that I worked on over Thanksgiving break. This is by far my favorite end result that I've completed this semester. I really enjoyed getting to take aspects from outer space and correlating them with a picture I took on Halloween in my fembot costume. To gain inspiration I surfed a lot of different websites like Google Images, Pinterest, and a variety of websites that were specifically recommended for this assignment. 
    I picked four images that I wanted to use; a spacecraft, cluster of aliens, galaxy background, and shooting stars. Going in I knew that I wanted the whole picture to have the same overall theme and ended up choosing space galaxy. The first thing I did when I started editing the original image was the switch from normal to exclusion to give the galaxy vibe. With each image, I made sure they each had their own layer so I could continue switching from normal to whatever option meshed the best. Once all my images were locked in, I adjust the hues and saturation to make everything blend together.  
    Overall, I liked how I was able to keep the LED neon sign 'THIS MUST BE THE PLACE" from the original photo and keep it as a main aspect of my project. I think the idea of me being a fembot from the movie Austin Powers while in outer space ties the whole idea of the neon sign quote together. I learned a lot of new tips in Photoshop and really enjoyed this project.

    Great job Kevalyn! You did an amazing job on this assignment as it is really creative. Everything ties into the photo and has a lot of meaning behind it. I really like how you incorporated the UFO and the meteors into the project. The way incorporated the sign in the background was also cool as it works with your image. I also really liked how you went about the background with the space theme and tied that into the image of yourself.

    Kevalyn, your project is spectacular. I also chose to go with the space/alien theme as well, I really like it. The images are incorporated perfectly. The photo of you is a little dark and could be a little bit brighter. However, you did a great job! The inverted colors really make it seem more extra terrestrial.

    Hey, Kevalyn! This is a pretty impressive piece of work that looks like it was very time consuming. I like how you made yourself look magical. Nicely done!

    Hey kevalyn, this is an amazing piece of work that’s very intricate. It reminds me of something out of a 50s movie. Great color variance too!

Business Cards

    These are the three business cards that I worked on for this assignment. This was very tricky for me and did not come easy. I spent hours watching tutorial videos and playing around with trial and error. When I finally got the hang of it, I began using layers. A few that I found myself using more were header, subheader, logo, and background. I really liked how I got to tune my inner creativity and use colors that speak to me. I also played around with different gradients and shades. The last thing that I found that makes my business cards stand out is the symbols I used in front of all of my information on the back.

Somewhere

       When I found out that we were going to be working in Photoshop I was very excited for this specific reason. I follow people on social media that are famous for editing themselves into famous celebrities' photos and I wanted to know the ins and outs of doing just that. Growing up my favorite movie series was Mean Girls, I would pretend to play the roles of the characters in my everyday life. This project was the closest opportunity for me to be a part of the movie series.      I began with adding the original cover photo from Mean Girls 2 into Photoshop, then started using multiple different layers. Some of the layers I used helped me fix the saturation, hues, and opacities to make myself appear like I was there during the actual photoshoot. As you can tell in my photoshoot picture (last image), the bottom half of my legs is cut off. For this project, I knew I wanted my knees down in the picture because that's how the three characters in the back appear. To do so, I found
