Reality or Photoshoppped?

 Reality or Photoshopped?

    

    The photo above is a post from Kirby Jenners's Instagram. I think this photo would be tough to photoshop because it is a magazine cover and not just a normal picture. If it was a normal photo, it would be easy to photoshop myself in the background as a pedestrian. However, if I were to try and photoshop myself into the background of a magazine cover it would look very artificial and unnatural. This is because most magazine covers are supposed to have a certain subject. In this specific photo, the subject is clearly the man and woman on the motorcycle. If I photoshopped myself into the background, it would look like a mistake of the magazine company.

    The photo above is a post by Average Rob. I want to photoshop myself into a vintage photo, similar to that this photo. We can see Average Rob posing next to what looks to be a vintage diner. I like how he edited the sky to look more blue. I feel like that gives the photo a more happy vibe. I want to edit myself into a scene from the movie Titanic. I will definitely draw inspiration from this image regarding how smoothly Average Rob blended the colors.

    The photo above is from an article by Bored Panda. This photo made me laugh due to its ironic nature. Instead of getting rid of the guy staring at the family, the editor made it look like the guy was making eye contact with the dad. I like it when editors add humor to their photos because it gives the audience a good laugh and also shows people not to believe every photo they see.

    The photo above is also from an article by Bored Panda. I love how creative photographers can get when taking photos. I try to be as creative as possible when I am photographing someone. I will definitively take inspiration from the photo above, as I think a lot of clients would be happy to try it out. It does not require too much effort and provides a very breathtaking result.

Photoshop Animation Research

Video #1:     This video went over very simply for the animation in Photoshop. I really like how the video was short and to the point. It did not drag out unnecessary elements to animating. I think navigating the new animating window will be a little tricky initially, but eventually, I will get the hang of it. When I first used Photoshop, I thought the tools were tough to learn, but now I easily navigate the application. Video #2:     The person in this video went over how to keyframe an animation. I liked how a simple animation was used as an example. I think I will understand how to keyframe quickly, but I am worried that I will not understand how to manipulate a drawing as easily. How do I add expression and give my drawing personality? I hope those questions will be answered in class. I am looking forward to acquiring new photoshop skills. Video #3:     This video showed the entire process of taking an idea and turning it into an animation. I really lik...

Animation

Image
  Animation     Inspiration and encouragement are something everyone desires. With that in mind, I chose to create an encouraging animation. The GIF below starts off by showcasing clouds passing through the sky. The camera is then shifted upward to show stars passing. A UFO then swoops in on the screen only to quickly go back off the screen. I wanted the viewers to feel like they were up in the sky. The words "ou got this" then appear on the screen and then the letter "y" slides in front of the "ou". I originally had the text stating "ou got this" hoping the viewers would read it phonetically. If you say it phonetically it sounds like "We got this". This expresses the notion that no one is living this life alone. We can all lean on each other for help. Soon after, the words slide off the screen to reveal my tag brush and end credits. I hope this animation inspires others not only in everyday life but also in animation.

Photoshop Homework 1

 Photoshop Homework 1 Video 1: Pen Tool     The first video goes over the pen tool in Adobe Photoshop. I have experience using the pen tool in Photoshop and Illustrator, so I do not think it will be a challenge for me. This tool is very useful because it allows us to modify shapes into a desired shape. I really liked how the video is short, which allows the creator to explain the topics simply. The pen tool is very useful and important and I am glad I am learning more about it. Video 2: Brush Tool     Video 2 explains how to use the brush tool. I personally have used the brush tool quite a lot in my previous work. It has helped me add more personality and detail to my pieces. The brush tool has come pretty easy for me when working in Photoshop. I think that the brush tool makes adding details to your work simpler. I really like how the creator of this video covered not only the simple aspects of the brush tool but also the more complex aspects. The more you know...
