i made a propaganda poster (and it was kind of fun)



 
 
 
So, when I was younger, I used to be obsessed with Instagram and I would spend hours on it daily. After a while of scrolling through my feed, it finally came across my mind that some of the posts I was seeing could be spreading misinformation. That is when I decided that from now on I will always do research on a subject before I fully form my opinion, and that listening to random people on the internet and taking it at face value wasn't the best thing for me. That is why I created this propaganda poster, to make sure that others don't fall into the same trap I did in middle school. I based it mainly off of older American propaganda posters that were used to get the young men of the time to enlist in the military. I mainly drew inspiration from the movie Captain America: The First Avenger, as I remember a specific scene of Steve Rogers looking up at a propaganda poster and deciding to join the Army. I also have a personal connection to the military, as my Grandfather, John Rogers, was a Vietnam Veteran.   
 
Here is the picture I based the poster on, and some of the posters I used to come up with the idea for it.

cool photoshopped images i found

Image
      I think that this photo would be extremely hard to photoshop myself into because of the amount of grain and loss of detail in the photo would make it difficult to effectively use the Stamp tool. Also the angle of the image is very specific and I think that would also play a major factor in deciding to edit yourself into it or not.          This photo gave me inspiration for the "Somewhere" project because I think it would be cool to photoshop myself into a bus or a subway car. I have always enjoyed the film aesthetic that is produced from filming in small spaces like these, so that is another contributing factor for me choosing this image as inspiration. I already have an idea, a scene from Nobody (2021) right before Bob Odenkirk's character gets into a huge brawl while on the subway.              This is a photoshop fail photo that I think is really funny, because my aunt is an avid Mi...

the portfolio

Image
     After the last few months of uploading to this blog, I finally present to everyone, the portfolio. I made this portfolio using all of the work I have done in my FMX 210-1 Digital Media class, and turned it into a short and simple book that can be sent to employers and clients. Creating this portfolio was really fun, as I have never done anything like it before and I love trying new things. I love creating things with software, and this project was no exception. While in the process of creating this project, I used around 4 different Adobe software to pull this project together, and I had a blast doing it. I really think that a lot of people could benefit from creating a portfolio, as it is really fun and you learn a ton of useful digital skills while doing it. And without further ado, here is the portfolio.

black and white to color (kinda)

Image
      So for this project, I chose to use a photo from Gasparilla because I thought there was a lot of color that I could fill back in and make it look really good. I chose Complementary colors because I personally prefer the way that they look together, it is very easy on the eyes and gives a colorful and lively vibe to the image. I chose Spit Complementary colors because they are a little more harsh than normal complementary colors, and it brings out more of a pop culture art style to the image. Finally, I chose Triad colors because I thought I needed to spice it up a bit more, and I think that the colors that I chose for this really flips coloring norms on their head, as I used a darker color on an already dark fabric and it gives it more of a washed out feel.
