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...

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.

the terror of the tag brush (i just needed a cool title)

Image
   So essentially this photo is made entirely out of a tag brush which I created during my Digital Media class. I enjoy the combination of different colors so I did a bit of a 3d effect with some of the tags, and my favorite color is purple, so the blue and red are there sort of as a statement that even though they are apart, they can still create something beautiful. The combined of the blues, purples, greens, and reds create a sense of childlike wonder, as all playgrounds and items that are consistently shoved in the faces of children are multicolor. 

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

Image
      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 ...

     This is a piece of work I made in class that means a lot to me, as my entire life I have been infatuated with cameras, and since the age of 6 years-old I haven't been seen without one. Cameras have played and will play a large role in my life, as I really enjoy working with them and taking beautiful and colorful photos and videos.     I used the Shape tool, Pen tool, Envelope Distort tool and Direct Selection tool to create this image. I used the Pen tool to create the lens and legs of the camera, and the Shape tool to create the body of the camera. Afterwards I chose words that I liked from my letter and put them on the forefront of the camera to add some detail, then I included the letter in the background to fill the empty space.   

the world wide web (and more)

Image
     So if you're reading this, you've probably heard about the World Wide Web, (duh, or you wouldn't be reading this right now) and as some people refer to it, the internet. These are actually two different things, but they get thrown around in unison a lot. But have you ever taken a second to think about who the lunatic that thought to create the internet (and paved the way for the creation of the World Wide Web) was a good idea was? In this blog post I'll be going over information about the World Wide Web, the Internet, and some other cool information. What's the other information you ask? Read until the end to find out! The World Wide Web Photo: CERN Website     The year is 1989, and Sir Tim Berners-Lee is working diligently as a software engineer at CERN, a particle physics lab near Geneva, Switzerland. It was a normal day for Tim, and that was until he realized, scientists from all over the world come and do experiments with the particle accelerator a...

the introduction

Image
    Hello and welcome to my first blog post! My name is Kanye and I am a Film and TV student at the University of Tampa. I am from Connecticut, and in my free time I really enjoy photography and editing videos. I think that my career path may end up falling in between those parameters rather than directly in Film and TV.      Ever since I was young, I have always taken photos or recorded videos, whether it be on my phone or the small Mickey Mouse camera my dad got me when I was 6 years-old. Cameras in general have had a very large impact on my life, as if I didn't have one, I really don't know what I would be doing right now. I'd probably end up being a Science or Engineering major to be totally honest.      I don't really know what I'm expecting from this Digital Media class, I've already done some blogging and created a bit of an online presence before, so I think this class won't be as difficult as I am making it out to be. I don't think that I...
