My final project is due for class tomorrow. I'm not taking classes this summer; even though it's only one night a week, those sixteen-hour days are killers. I have enough going on this summer that a break will be welcome. Anyway, in case anyone's interested:
The assignment was two self-portraits; one that had to use a picture of ourselves, and one that couldn't. I kind of like how they both turned out, and I'm really interested to see what other people do.
So the first one, with me in it, is supposed to be me painting myself into the picture. Or something. I used a bazillion Photoshop art filters and a bit of that Pissarro picture I posted earlier. I ran into a lot of challenges, and I kind of like how it turned out.
The second one took a lot of time to come up with the idea (a self-portrait without me in it?!?), and a lot of time to set up, but there wasn't a lot to do in Photoshop aside from splice everything together and align it all. I almost feel like that's cheating in a Photoshop class, but I remind myself that it's cross-referenced with Photography, and was more an exercise in creative thinking than anything. Each box is supposed to represent something about me, and I sort of like the overall effect. I'm SUPER excited to see everyone else's take on this half of the assignment!
