Autoscopy Project

     For this project I had to take a photo of myself and edit it however I wanted to. Here is the photo I took specifically for this project.


    I'm not making a very pleasant expression here, but it won't show up in the picture for reasons that will quickly become apparent. I downloaded lots of pictures that I could have used, but these are the ones I chose.






    This is the final image, which took me 3ish hours to make.

    There were a lot of different themes I was interested in doing, but I knew for sure that I wanted at least 3 sets of eyes. I ended up with 4 pairs by accident, but I didn't mind it enough to spend energy fixing it. I think if I wasn't doing this for a grade, I would've gone a lot more crazy with how much I did to the image. There's something appealing to me in a messy image, an image where there's so much going on that you can spend a while looking at it to make sure you're not missing anything.

    I love the ocean a lot- marine biology major, obviously- so there's lots of ocean-themed stuff on it. I also really enjoyed the flower brush Professor Roundtree showed us so I incorporated that in the background and the waves. The loser blocks on my mouth represents how I feel when I infodump on my roommates and they're not as interested in whatever it is I'm talking about.

    I really like your take on this project! My favorite part of this was definitely the waves and marine life that you included in the bottom of the portrait. Also, it was really creative to make multiple of your eyes that extend into your forehead; the eyes give a really creepy vibe to the portrait! The flowers in the background was a really nice touch, I think the it gives a "messy order" vibe to the project. Overall, you did an amazing job on this!

    This is super cool! There is so much to look at, I keep noticing more the longer I look at it! Duplicating your eyes was a very cool idea and it makes you look like a spider in the best way possible. I also really like how you have so many different components that describe who you are, not just one theme. Great job!

      Thank you! The fact that I look like a spider was totally unplanned, but spiders are cool and really misunderstood. I love animals that are mistaken as "scary" and "ugly".

    Project came out nice. I like how you gave yourself multiple pairs of eyes. And the waves at the bottom look very good. Overall really nice job on the project.

Somewhere Project

Image
      I Photoshopped myself into a screenshot from the show Criminal Minds. It's not my favorite show ever, but it is my favorite realistic show (my actual favorite is an anime which I felt didn't count for this project). Spencer Reid is my favorite character, so I made sure to find an image with him in the center.     I knew I needed one of them either in the plane or sitting around the table for a case debriefing instead of a scene of them chasing the suspect because I don't have a prop gun to use and there was no way I was going to edit one in. I couldn't find any screenshots with an empty space next to Spencer (the agent in the forefront, if you're not familiar with the show), so I took on the extra challenge of covering up Kate (the agent who's sitting next to him). I didn't feel the need to mess with the agents sitting in the back- Aaron to the left and Derek to the right- because having them included makes the scene feel more whole and realistic.

      Yikes, so these didn't turn out great. I wasn't sure how to get the colored logos from the work I'd already submitted onto the document so I cropped them from the image on my blog and placed them in frames. They look a lot better as JPEGs on this blog than they did in InDesign which is a relief.                    Unfortunately on the last two you can see where I cropped it out of the image from a previous assignment. If it weren't for the lines on the image, I think it would be a good design. I did different shapes for each background to make them all unique. The fake number 42-42-564 comes from the show Soul Eater (it's the number they write on mirrors to call Lord Death) and the website is actually my Tumblr blog URL. You can follow me if you want, haha.
