Get to Know Me!

   This is the final project for this class, we had to use InDesign to create a portfolio that had all the work we did throughout the semester. It was hard to use indesign and it took me a couple tries importing projects and readjusting them. I wish I had more time for this project in particular because I would have done a lot more to it. I would have added more detail to balance out the pages instead of having it so plain. The projects I enjoyed doing the most were the somewhere, calligram, autoscopy and the multiplicity. In these projects playing with background and lighting was a lot of fun. It was cool making scenes different, and creating myself in different ways. The most challenging thing for me was probably the gradient mesh, and the canvas project. At least now I know all the tips and tricks for using these softwares, and can create more projects in my classes next semester.

      The multiplicity project was one of my favorite assignments. For this project in particular we had top photoshop ourselves into an open space 6 different times. I decided to do a open room in a friend's house, and change my outfit so I looked like different characters. I wanted the theme for this assignment to be people winding down at night and relaxing after a long day of working. I liked playing with the lighting and different positions of myself, and putting it all together. The hardest part was probably positioning myself and taking the pictures all from the same angle of the room. 

     The assignments we had over break were a pixel portrait and a photoshopped scene of multiple versions of ourselves. This project is the pixel portrait and for this I decided to make it look like I was blushing. It was fun turning it into the animated gif. The most difficult part was adding detail, and getting it to look as close to me as possible. Drawing in pixels was challenging because you're working with squares and not straight lines. Although I did enjoy experimenting with this assignment and watching the still drawings come to life.
