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 a person who does something very technical for a living, this class really helped me to unlock my creativity. Later on in the semester I made a point to try and approach some of the more technical assignments in a creative way as a challenge to myself. This is an example of where I feel it paid off. For this assignment I was to take six pictures of myself in the same space, and stitch them together to form one image. Instead of just taking pictures of me sitting in the same space, I chose to try and tell a story. One version of myself passed out and we can see the ensuing reactions of the various versions of myself.
