Somewhere

 

   

For the last assignment before our final project we were to take a scene from our favorite movie or tv show and insert ourselves into it. I tried to challenge myself by replacing a character in the scene instead of simply placing myself into it. 

The above image has me replacing Marty McFly in a scene from my favorite movie, Back To The Future. It was extremely challenging to not only match the position of Marty, but to get the right lighting and look to the picture of myself. I went through a lot of trial and error to get the film grain and coloring right. While it may be a little dark for printing, I think ultimately this assignment turned out very well.

Portfolio

    Our final assignment was to create a portfolio with all our assignments throughout the semester. In keeping with the programming theme I made the text look like you were using the terminal to navigate a file system. 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. 

Multiplicity

  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. 

Poster

  Above: Using Adobe Illustrator we were to create a poster with a message. There's billions of planets in our universe, do you believe life is out there? Below: Incomplete alternate version, while I do like the "light" better here, I felt as if it implied a religious connotation that I was not going for.
