Visual Sequential Narrative Progress 03

Added space to the portal along with a spaceship- thinking of making maybe 2 other photos to go with this in a series, loosely around the idea of combining two worlds/themes.

Final Project Progress 02

Image
 I decided to try to approach some kind of a theme to have more of a message or purpose behind my final, and ended up trying all kinds of different directions. The first stab I took at it was a spring themed project; I went outside and took a series of photos (more than I will be showing here) of some of the growth of spring. The original photos I used are the first and the third; the middle image was one of the beginning of "spring" iterations that I found myself abandoning. I chose to abandon this idea because (1) computer issues, but most importantly (2) I really want to push myself to explore a theme or skill that I haven't yet with this class. I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of combining media and textures, so I decided to explore that concept. I started by creating a collage of newspaper  and then layered another (larger) newspaper on top to blend them together. Here are a few of the different blending modes I liked: I decided to use the third picture. I intend on cre...

Visual Sequential Narrative Progress 04

 I decided to ditch that iteration (for now) and try something new.  I used the bridge picture from my earlier selection of bridges, then selected an area of the forest in the back and inverted it to give it a whimsical/trippy look. In this iteration I'm trying to hone in more on the concept of afterlife and passing on, as bridges are sometimes used as metaphors for this. I then tried blending two different layers of space into the bridges by putting it in the layer behind the bridges (top layer hard light, bottom layer pin light) using these two different space variations (in  order with the images above):

Destroy the Icon Progress 05

Image
 At this point I have created two out of four solid iterations. In working on my third, I used photoshop's stylize filter to create an oil paint and "embossed" look  From here, I used the pattern stamp tool and played around with different patterns (I copied her eye, then took the Afghan symbol from the Afghan flag, and began to play with that.) I liked the Afghan flag look, so I painted the figure of the Afghan girl with this pattern.  I used blending modes to blend the flag into the images, adding another image of the Afghan girl on top of the blended/meshed images, using a crystallized pixelated effect (on the second Afghan girl image) before using another blending mode. **layer one- oil paint & embossed effect, normal blending mode **layer two: painted stamps with linear light blending mode  **layer three: crystallized pixelated effect, difference blending mode And honestly? I think its worth mentioning that hiding layers and seeing the way some layers intera...
