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...

Fantasy Appliance Progress 04

Image
  In these images, I took the originally outlined base and added gradient fills to the inside. I then added the vectorized water image to a background layer, where I repositioned all of my shapes/objects. (As you can see, I forgot to make the water layer greyscale; I corrected this in the next few steps.) I decided to put the blender in the center of the image to make it appear as though it was sucking water up into the blender from the bottom.  After deciding I wanted to have some kind of substance coming out of the top of the blender, I removed the lid layer and added it to the water. I found that setting it on top made my work look flat; so I set the lid at an angle, and erased half of it to make it appear as though it has been thrown in the water and is sinking. From here I then added another gradient fill to the top portion of the blender and on the handle (playing with transparency); as well as the button in the middle. I additionally added a curved shape to the base of ...

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...
