Autoscopy




For the autoscopy assignment we were given free reign to modify an image of ourselves in Photoshop. I took this as an opportunity to explore layer blending. I tried to represent the feeling of being locked in and focused when coding. For submission, we were to export four different versions as gifs, which is what you see below. However, my favorite ended up being the above image, which I submitted as an alternate to the four required.

As an avid baseball card collector I thought, what would be cooler than an animated baseball card? Well, I didn't know what I was in for because this project had me working almost all day everyday for a week and a half to complete.  Once I got done rotoscoping the animated card images, my deadline was just a few days away and I wasn't sure how I was going to have time to go through 400+ photoshop layers and manually mask my hand and add the images in.

Because of my inexperience with After Effects I still had around 100 layers to manually adjust in Photoshop, b...

    Our final assignment was to create a portfolio with all our assignments throughout the semester.

In reflection, learning the Adobe Suite has a lot of similarities to programming. It reinforced for me that one of the most invaluable skills to have is knowing how to learn.

Black and White To Color

For this assignment I was instructed to convert a photo of myself from color to black and white, then after picking three color palettes we were to mask parts of the images and apply color. This was our introduction to masking in Photoshop, which became an integral part of my workflow the rest of the semester.  Looking back I would have added color to my beard. I researched techniques to artificially fill it in to make it easier to select but did not get a suitable result by the time the assignment was due.
