Somewhere Project

-

For this project I struggled to come up with a photo I wanted to place myself into because a lot of my clothes are still back in Tampa. I began to think about different movies and artists I liked and being a huge fan of One Direction since middle school really swayed me to pick this album cover as my topic for this project. I began by choosing which member I wanted to remove and decided to remove Liam because he is super problematic now a days. I removed him by using the clone tool, I then took a couple of photos because I wanted to have options on which one to use. I then transformed all my photos into black and white and used the quick selection tool to remove myself from my first photo and insert myself into the album cover. It took me a while to remember how to place myself behind an object, but once I did figured that out it was easier for me to complete. 

Hours to complete: 2 1/2 hours

Below is the original album cover:

    I love One Direction and appreciate that you put yourself in this album! The top one looks really awesome, and you did a good job putting yourself over Liam. My only suggestion would be playing a little more with the lighting on your face in the bottom. Good job!

    This is super cool! I like how you made similar expressions to Liam for when you replaced him. I couldn't tell that you had replaced someone, so you did a good job putting yourself into the picture. The only suggestion I have would be to have increased the contrast between the black and white to match the lighting better in the original. Overall, you did a great job!

    Andrea, this is a great project. I like the way you went for the black and white band look and it fits really great together. I think the only improvement could be the difference in the vibrance of light on your face compared to the other band members. Keep up the great work.

    I think you did a great job with this project and especially with the way you chose your clothing to fit the photo. The only advice I would give you would be to adjust the lighting on your face as well as reduce the opacity of the shadow behind your head. Overall, great work

    I love your choice to recreate the One Direction album cover. I think you top photo is spot on. It looks like you are there with them. On the bottom I would have positioned your head more towards the center. Since you are facing an angle it looks a little out of place. However, the overall end result came together well.

      Thanks for the feedback! I had a much harder time doing my bottom photo because of the positioning. But if i were to mess with this again i would probably take a new photo.

Business Cards

These are my business cards. They took about 2 hours to complete. I chose to stick with the film aspect of my logo and made the first business card based on a clapboard that you would see on set of a film or TV show, the next I chose to base it off of a marquee at a movie theatre that would tell you what movie is showing. The last business card was inspired by an old fashioned black and white film, I made my logo the projection for the movie. I liked making my logo into a business card because it allowed me to use my creativity and add my love of film into my business cards. Indesign took me a minute to get used to but I like how compatible it is with other Adobe products. My favorite business card I made is probably the clap board because it actually resembles one and puts my information where it would be if I was the director of a film. Below are my original sketches:

Autoscopy Project

For my Autoscopy project I focused on how I miss being able to go outside and interact with people and just exist in nature because of COVID-19. Being stuck inside I feel like I get cabin fever and it makes me go insane. I am lucky I am able to go out onto my back porch and get fresh air but I wish I could go to the beach or to the woods and explore. I included two photos, the first being me made up of trees and leaves, the second showing a flower behind my face. I included both photos to make it as though I am wearing a mask and behind that mask is a flower, showing the real me.  I chose an orange flower because I feel like I am rooted outdoors and I get all my energy from being outside in the sun. I wanted it to seem as though I am made up of nature and if I look deep within myself I am a flower, constantly in bloom. I chose to use the trees because I feel as though I was uprooted and taken out of my place of comfort because of this virus, everything feels out of place but I con
