Then, we were asked to create two interesting photo composites, with the main goal being to make the edits invisible to the viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">My first piece was this \u201cmatador\u201d \u2014 I combined the pose of the famous Discobolus (the discus thrower) statue with the posture of a matador. However, I didn\u2019t take into account the major difference in art styles between the two images, so I wasn\u2019t satisfied with the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">I learned from that experience and moved on to create a second piece. This time, I combined an image of a meteor about to hit Earth with two dinosaurs running away. I sampled the colors from the background, adjusted the transparency, and layered them onto the dinosaurs to make the composition more realistic. This piece was very well received and earned praise from both my teacher and classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motion Graphic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"24 25 p6 3D Keyframe Animation WeiyiC\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9B7HQKZqWos?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:27px\">Additionally, this year we also created a multi-layered piece using Illustrator.

The volcano, the ground-level lava, the meteors in the sky, and the ice-element motifs on the right side are the aspects I&#8217;m most proud of.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">&nbsp;<strong>Ultimately, this project improved my spatial visualization skills and my ability to manage the layering of complex elements\u2014challenges that proved to be the most difficult during the creative process. Overcoming them brought me a great sense of accomplishment, and I\u2019m confident that I will apply these techniques in future illustration works.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">World Building Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"24 25 p6 World Building WeiyiC AngelR AkshayM\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YHr9iPbClP0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 2 Funny Image Compositions We began by learning Photoshop, where I learned how to seamlessly blend two completely different&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/narrative-visual-perspective-in-digital-media\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-572","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=572"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":722,"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/572\/revisions\/722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~WeiyiC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
