nature man project

Nature man project 

ideas
As soon as the project was assigned to us I wanted to use water and thing of nature. I couldn't figure out how to make the water part look good. So I ended up just using the pictures that were in the server. The pictures were of trees and outdoor things so it was still close to my original idea. I didn't want the pictures to look exactly like they did in the server so I tried to change them up a bit. I added few effects and layers to make the pictures look more original. 

the process 
When I was doing this project I was thinking that I wanted my project to look subtle and not as bright. I really wanted the pictures to blend and not have a huge contrast between the pictures. I started with the hair because I really wanted the hair to be the focus of the picture. so I had a bigger contrast between the jacket and his hair. Th I did the jacket and the little v inside the jacket and had those blend together so the hair could stand out. 

using tools
I used blending modes on the jacket and the shirt under the jacket to make it look subtle. I also used blending on the edges of the hair so it would blend with the white background. I used adjustment layers on certain pictures and the overall project. I changed the coloring of the rock but I didn't change the coloring of the roots and the trees because I like their natural coloring. After that I added shadow, highlight, and contrast layers to the whole picture to make the layers come together. I also changed the opacity of the layers as I created. 

end result
My end result did not turn out like I was wanting it to. I know that it wasn't going to right after I decided to use the pictures in the server instead of my original idea. I did like how I made the pictures in the server look different in my project. I am happy with project even though the pictures were my plan b. if I were to do this project again to improve it I would try to find even more pictures and have more backup plans for my original plan.

movie trailer blog post

movie trailer blog post   the project process When we were assigned this project we were asked to pick a high school movie trailer and make one recreating it. My group and I decided to re create the breakfast club movie trailer. We thought it would be fairly easy because most of the video takes place in a school library and the rest in the school hallways. We had to plan out filming and planning days for the project which is something my group and I didn't do well on. The next step was to story board, we had to go through the whole movie trailer and describe and sketch out each frame. When it was finally time to film it was very close to spring break, we had two days of school left and we planned to film all of our footage in those days. Unfortunately we didn't get much done those days, the footage we did get had actors that dropped out so we couldn't't use any of it. When we came back from break we took around a couple of days to find more actors. The actors we ...

final blog

graphic design final reflection blog One of my favorite parts about graphic design was making the vector illustrator portrait. For this project we had to choose an image of ourselves, a family member, or a family pet. We then had to choose if we wanted to do an organic vector which is tracing the facial features on the objects face or a low poly geometric vector which is when you make lots of different and tiny triable on the subject. I chose to do the low poly geometric because I felt it would look better on my dog. It took me around two weeks to complete this project. I was gone towards the end of the first week, if I wasn't gone I most likely would have finished the project sooner. I faced a few challenges along the way. At the very beginning of the project I didn't know how big to make the triangles. I decided to do small triangles on my dogs features and bigger triangles on my dogs body. Another challenge I faced was having all of my triangles looking very similar whic...

music video blog

Music video blog  When we were assigned this project we were told to pick a song and make a video rein-acting  the original music video. The first step of this project was to pick a group. With working in a group comes teamwork and agreeing on things like the song, dates we were going to film, and assigning jobs in the group. My group originally was going to use the song "Tonge tied" by group love. We decided that we were going to change our song because the music video was in an older house and had a party going on. One of my groups biggest struggles was finding times to film so we decided that we wanted to film our video at school. We finally decided on the song "Congratulations" by post Malone because it took place in a filming studio just like the one we have here at school. The video also had the same "party" theme that the Tonge tied video had so we were somewhat sticking to our original idea.  After we began the beginning process of pic...
