First feelings of class

I am Chris Young, a sophomore from Jacksonville, FL. I am an Advertisement/Public Relations major and I expect to learn more about Adobe creative tools from this class. I hope to leave this class with a small portfolio of work, and am excited to learn, I have only slight experience working with Adobe Photoshop from about four years ago, and I know that the software updates often so it might be outdated.
I think that this class is relevant because graphic design is a large part of advertising. Creating logos and business cards are an important part of representing a brand, and this is why this class is necessary for Advertising/Public Relations majors.

"Somewhere" Project

Image
 For my project, I decided to place myself in the promotional poster for the film Parasite. This is one of my favorite movies because it has multiple layers and meanings, and it was my first choice for this project. I chose this poster specifically because it gives a brief teaser of the movie without spoiling the whole film. For this project, I took a picture of myself in front of a solid color wall, and used both the magic wand and the selection tool in Photoshop to create the illusion that I was actually in the poster. This project took me about 3 hours total and I am very proud of the result.

Self-portrait poster

Image
This project took me about 5 hours to do. The majority of the time was spent tracing the original imagine and getting the curves and outline precise. Afterwards, I used the gradient mesh tool to color most of the shapes. I tried to use a lot of gradient colors to create a slightly 3d feel.  The text behind me is a quote from Doctor Seuss: "Be who you are and say what you feel because in the end those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter." This is an inspirational quote for me because it inspires me to share my opinions regardless of what others think. I enjoy using text as art and had a lot of fun with this project.

Autoscopy

For my autoscopy project, I decided to use overlay scenes of paint, the ocean, and plants on my face.. Playing and experimenting with the numerous effects in Photoshop was very fun and I used layers to create the desired effect. I think that the various colors on top of a black and white image effect gives my photo a professional feel, and the different images of nature give it a calming feel. I look forward to experimenting with Photoshop more in the future. Autoscopy Original
