6:35 AM.   A rainy Monday morning.   You sigh, the weight of your damp backpack being shrugged off of your shoulders as you set it on the other side of your seat on the bus. You lay your head onto the side window of the bus, but quickly pull it away as you feel your brain turn into a smoothie. You suppose you'll just crane your neck to check your surroundings.   The rain is almost ended, the golden yellow, peaches and blues peeking through the clouds. little rays of sunlight peek through as well, as if the hypothetical heaven itself was showing itself through the clouds. It could be a metaphor for depression, and recovery, or it could perhaps be a sign that it's going to be okay.   The world is at a standstill, very few cars are out. it's as if reality itself is altered, that you would be in a parallel universe. it's... peaceful. tranquil. that's all folks, this is a panorama project I did. this was taken with ten sunset photos I took onto the bus, or...

OH WOW. OH WOW. O H W O W. I loved doing this!!! wow!!!! This is my friend Julia, and she was a model for my popart project. I really wanted to incorporate the trees, and her hair into the design and to make it really uniform, so I found a color palette online. Our class began with going out to the courtyard and taking photos. Out of all of the many we took, this one was by far my favorite. I uploaded it into photoshop, grabbed a tablet and began my work. I decided on this green color scheme. Not only was it out of my comfort zone, but it provided a diverse amount of contrast I could have used in the piece. Thanks to multiply layers and adjustments, I could easily make the contrast even more prominent. To further the detail on shading, I used an inner shadow and outer glow setting. I also used a painterly blender brush, in order to give this some texture. I also used a screen tone to give it that pop art look. overall, I had a blast, and I want to do this so much more oft...

this was pretty easy, I must confess. I already had a general idea of what I wanted to do, and it all started with Singapore. Or.. a photo of Singapore. Meet Jared! I used a black and white color filter on his skin, I used a mask tool to get the trees onto his hair. I used blending layers on the suit, and color gradients on the suit as well to get that color. to amplify the shading, I placed a bevel and emboss layer as well. overall, I had to add a second layer of contrast, to make everything stand apart. the hair, generally, didn't turn out like I wanted it to. but the rest of it? it was exactly how. I wanted it to be. I'm actually really proud of this.

   Oh my god I think this is the day I perish.    Okay so like, we're learning how to do photoshop on photoshop. Like... moving things around and erasing tags and acne and things I wish I could do in real life. anyway if you want some examples, here's a few:    This is Dylan! He had a bunch of dirt and blemishes on his face before the spot healing tool pulled up like me at a Taco Bell. now, he's an airbrushed little youth. What a legend. Coming for my brand.    Thanks to content aware fill, the wall is flawless!!    Thanks to the patch tool, this dude doesn't have to worry about a political shirt at his daughter's... Why did they take this picture..?    This was the hardest one, this one I had to use so many of my pervious skills to combine this into one big crock pot. I'm pretty sure I'm traumatized after that.    I learned a lot from the photoshop tutorials. I learned that some people shouldn't ma...

This quarter was interesting to say the very least. I had to deal with so much stupidity, bullcrap and drama that I'm just so exhausted. I had to make a product with three, okay no TWO other people, since one didn't even do anything. The product was a virtual reality vine glasses, or as we like to call them, Vinels. essentially, we had to make a commercial, animation, website, and logo. we had to do so much, and I had to do most of the work.  I acted in the commercial, made some of the animations, made the logo and let everyone else do the website. the entire project took overall the entire quarter. we endured a lot of challenges. for one, out "leader" couldn't even lead, so I had to do it. second, I did a lot of the work and ideas. I probably could have done this aline. three, one of our workers didn't even contribute, and someone from another group had to help. might I add, said person wasn't even a part of our group, so I don't ...

Here you see the beginning. The beginning of a career that'll last me a lifetime. here you see the first three animations that I'll forever look back on and think wow. I really don't like animation in photoshop. The whole point of the project was to animate three different balls. one bouncing from directly below, the other an arch, and the last one with creative freedom. these three gifs are what I created. the process I created the first one by making a custom grass tool and drawing the grass, then coloring the background. I then created a ball, and rendered it's texture by double clicking the layer. then, I began to make copies of the ball, making them do as I please. I made a frame animation, then turned off all the layers except the first one. then, the tedious process of duplicating a frame, turning off the last layer and turning on the next layer began. the last gif is 106 frames, so you can understand that it took a while. execution picking my color...
