Funny Images<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Digital Media, we were asked to create two funny images using pictures you took with your camera and the Photoshop skills we learned. In the first image, I composited three photos: the background and water fountain, maple leaves, and the funny-shaped logs. This image is funny to me because its absurd and impossible in the real world. In the second photo, I replaced the pathway with bright blue. I made it look more like water by adding a reflection of the trees above with a lower opacity than the original image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind the Scenes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are some behind-the-scenes screenshots from when I was working on these compositions in Photoshop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I struggled with this project at first because I didn’t feel sure of myself in my ability to make something funny. My final project outcome isn’t funny in a “laugh out loud” type of way, but I think it can still be seen as humorous, even though it doesn’t necessarily fall into that category. I enjoyed learning new Photoshop techniques that I got to apply to these photos, and I feel more confident in my ability to use Photoshop for fun in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motion Graphics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I learned many new motion graphics skills in Digital Media using Adobe Illustrator. Prior to this year, I had never used After Effects, so it was a bit intimidating at first, but this project helped me to become familiar with the tools and special effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is my final video! I decided to make it to Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer, and the bar at the bottom moves with the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
