Autoscopy

     Using Adobe Photoshop, I took a personal image taken in Italy of my family and combined it with other images that made the photo become more creative. Incorporating a picture of a butterfly, balloon, someone walking in heels, a sting ray in the ocean, and a new sky makes the image feel more creative and transform the original image into a dreamlike piece. Utilizing the layer mask tool and the brush tool, I was able to seamlessly build in each additional image to the background, making the original image feel altered but also intimate. 

    The process of combining these additional images into the original was mainly done by the use of the hard and soft brush tools. Using masking, it created each image into the others to make it feel like all of these different images were originally there. These made the images feel embedded with the scene rather than added. 

    This piece represents how memories can sometimes be shown differently than reality. Imagination and emotion is portrayed through this piece. I aimed to show how some moments throughout life can be reinterpreted through someones imagination.  The image not only captures a place, but also emotion.

      Hi, my name is Sophia Brown. I grew up in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, which is 20 minutes north of Boston. The college I go to is the University of Tampa with an accounting major and a law, justice, and advocacy minor. I am planning to work in the tax accounting field or become a tax attorney. I love to hang out with friends, workout, go to the beach, and go shopping during my free time. I also love reading, watching movies, and learning new things. I used to play softball and do cheerleading. I still try to stay very active now after stopping playing sports.      The main thing I am hoping to gain from taking digital media is more computer skills than I have currently. I am not very good with using certain softwares on the computer, which I think is a very good skill to have when getting a job. Another skill I hope to gain is becoming more creative. I have a very analytical mind currently, which is important, but having a creative side is also signific...

  I process behind my art piece is to use different tools in photoshop to get the hang of the different material we will be doing. For example, using the brush tool was the main tool I used to create this art piece. Also, using the brackets helped practice making the brush bigger and smaller. Lastly, using layers and the masking tool to create the scratches and shading on around the logo to create a "spray paint" effect. Overall, this piece is meant to be colorful, lively, and practice working on the tools that will be used throughout the course.

Photoshop

 https://youtu.be/IZACwQzj7TQ?si=78f_SPPyyKmPlvJK     This video taught me many important tools about photoshop. For example, using the laso tool is something I think will be used very often to erase things from a picture. The patch tool also seems like something that would be important to use which does a similar thing as the laso tool. Lastly, using layer mask will be important to combine pictures together into one. I think this will be used very often.  https://youtu.be/y_Nqb32auxs?si=knkso-erpFgHd3m7     This video did not have specific words, but showed visuals of how to use certain tools. For example, making copies of layers and then merging them together is a good tool to use incase you need to go back to another layer. This also allows for any mistakes made to the second layer to be able to start over. Learning how to wrap the layer also could be important depending on what projects could be coming during this portion of the course.
