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 a picture of denim on the internet and placed them where they looked as if my original image never stopped. Again with the bottom half of the legs; I adjusted the saturation, hues, and opacities to match up perfectly. 

    I really enjoyed working on this project, even though it pushed me to work harder and harder to get the results I wanted.

    Kevalyn,
    I enjoy this work as mean girls has to be one of the most popular movies of our generation. I think you changed the lighting and exposures of the photos very well and made it look very natural and like you were apart of the photo.

    Hi Kevalyn! I think you did an amazing job on this project. Mean Girls was a good choice and I like how you went about it. You were able to get your photo to fit perfectly in to the poster. You did an amazing job with changing the lighting and exposure so it all flows together.

Business Cards

Image
    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.

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...
