Cinemagraph

 This is my Cinemagraph project where you take a serious of photos to create a a GIF. My original idea was to have my self belly slide up and down the hall but instead my final idea came to being kicked on the ground instead by my friend. I used this idea mostly because i could not think of anything else. A challenge during this project was deciding which of the objects i would have move and what would be still. The effects of my cinemegraph were kinda poor as i was unable to lay perfectly still and moved slightly through the scene and several of the pictures i took did not match up well and could not be used.

Disney Magazine Cover


This is my Disney Magazine cover where i took my mashed up character and made a magazine cover about it. I felt my project worked out fairly well. What worked well with the project was the combination of the two characters i used to make the character. What didn't work well was making the background of the magazine as i made the backgrounds clash against each other. If i could do this project over i would have changed the background so it would look better and more like a magazine cover. The most difficult part of this project was using the right colors and staying to keeping a select few fonts for use in the cover.

Mr. Potato Smith

 

Bill Nye the Gumby guy

 
















This is my Barbie project where we take the face of a famous celebretie and put their face onto a cartoon character. Overall my project was really successful and easy to do. What worked really well with this project was the simplicity of  Gumby's body that made it easy to remove his face and then replace with Bill Nye's face after editing it with Liquify to match the heads proportions. If i were to make the porject over i would have used Mitt Romney's face and put it on Gumby instead. I learned how hilarious it is to combine the faces of your favourite celebrites and cartoon characters togehter is

Aisha























This is my Aisha Retouching project. In this project we were given a task by our editor to retouch the photo of the model to match their specifications. I did well in performing the changes to the models body that needed to be changed. What worked really well with the project was the use of the liguify image transformation tool that helped to change her body proportions into what the editor wanted it to be. The most difficult part was getting rid of the lines and arrows along the areas of her body that they wanted changed since they covered them and made removal a chore. I learned how to better use the patch tool to replace colorson an image.

Retouch2


 




This is my second Retouching project. I think i did exceptionally well on my project  in how i completely changed the models appearance from the way she originally looked by removing all her blemishes, changing her hair, skin,  lips, eye, and eye liner color. The most difficult part of the project was getting the models blemishes to disappear by using the spot healing tool correctly and make the re-newed skin pixels to match up correctly. I learned in this project how to alter eye colors.

Retouch1



This is my Retouching Project. In this project you were supposed to retouch the girls face and remove all her blemishes. Overall i feel my prohject was really successful becuase i have removed all blemishes and other impuriteis of her skin so she looks perfect. What worked really well for this project was the usefulness of the spot healing bruch and patch tool that allowed me to remove the blemish by copying and duplicating the clear skin all around her face. The most difcult part of the project was trying to even out her new skin so it matches the original after using the spot healing brush that to cover the belmishes. I learned how to alter a person's appearance and improve it from how it originally was.

Newimal

This is my newimal project that requires you to take and mix up to or more animal parts. I enjoyed doing this project a lot as it was very interesting to do and allowed me to show my creativity. I feel my project was really succesful giving the difficulties it took me to get the final result. What worked well with this project was how easy it was to combine the animal parts so they'd go well with each other. The most difficult part of this project was trying to make the newimal more realistic by making the bodies color match and  make it look more realistic and matching up the colors and correctly combining the body parts without exposing to much of the replaced body part. I learned from this project was how to better make and edit fictional pictures but make them look realistc.

Four Shapes

This project is my four shapes project. This project was a creative way to make fourdifferent shapes into common objects. I feel my project was successful in mimicking common known objects by using shape tools then putting them on top of each other and using various gradient styles. What worked well with this project was the gradients coloring style and shape tools to give the shapes more realistic. The most difficult part of this project was correctly placing the gradient on the shapes and placing the multiple shapes on the originals. I learned how to place gradient styles in a more controlled manner and how to better refine shaping tool objects.
