Self Expressions

When I look at this picture it reminds of when people go on the Maury show pictures with ghosts in them. I now realize how easy it is to tell someone you caught a ghost in your photo. This project taught me to never believe someone when they claim they caught a ghost in their picture because they could have just easily photoshopped it.

When I look at the next picture it reminds me of a movie called From Dusk Til Dawn. There was an evil vampire in the movie with identical red eyes, I guess thats the reason that movie is the first thing to come to mind when I see the picture.

The thing I like most about my image is the sky. My favorite tool in photoshop thus far would have to be blending options and opacity. I feel good about my photoshop knowledge so far, I feel like Im exactly where I should be.

surrealism

The very first step I took into this project was creating a theme. I used the theme sports and it was the bases of my project. Its a picture on the moon and I rearranged the planets and turned them into different types of balls. I also used the lens flare to make sort of a supernova. I chose to use Yao Ming as my alien and I added a ladder from the basketball that Yao Ming comes out of. I took a picture of myself so I could show some emotion, and act shocked to see the alien

Metaphor

The pressure of school is like a vice and my head the walnut the pressure is forced upon.

I chose this metaphor because it explains how I feel about school and the pressure of graduating. Overall I think my concept was good. The project was alot easier because I actually put thought and brainstormed before I started. I also feel great about the composition, I think I did a great job putting things in place.
