POSTER

 Finally I get to talk about this assignment. The poster project was one of the best most liberating and fun assignments I have ever worked on. Everything just worked. The idea just came to me and it was exciting enough to fuel me to work on it immediately. 






This was the photo I started off with. My whole idea stemmed from some of my conflicts with religion. Although I respect anyone that is religious and finds joy and purpose within religion I personally have a disconnect and can't bring my self to believe in a religion. I used fake blood on my photo and placed my hands over my face. I didn't want it to look like I was overtly praying but I wanted something that looked close enough, I think the final result looks like I am either praying or ashamed. lastly I wanted to be looking up to add to the meaning of the project.


This is the end result. I was incredibly happy with how this assignment turned out. Everything just felt right and I had zero problems or troubles in completing my intended vision. This is a project Im happy to share which is something that has always been troubling for me. The words are a quote from the Bible and express the sacrificial theme that is seen in a lot of religions.

I present the the cyclops... don't be fooled by its basic appearance... it took me a long time to make this. I am very proud of this example and believed it helped me in the creative part of the class.

BLACK AND WHITE TO COLOR

Image
 This was my originally selfie... this time going into the project I realized my hair would be a problem hence the hat to try and make my hair more manageable. I do believe that in the end the hat was a good idea.   I then converted the image to black and white. I then added my color to them. It was fun experimenting with different colors and turning my skin green ect. Once I was finished changing the color of myself I still couldn't help but feel that something was missing, so in order to make the selfies feel more complete I colored the background of the selfies in my own interesting and fun way.

AUTOSCOPY

Image
 This assignment was probably the most cathartic assignment I worked on. The goal of the Autoscopy was to take a picture of yourself and to express something deep and personal to you. My beginning photo was definitely an interesting choice, most prominently because the lack of detail on my face. But this was an artistic choice and was necessary to the message I was trying to send. This is my autoscopy I used an image of a brain scan of someone with Alzheimers. The reasoning for this is because I have a family history of Alzheimers and it has been something difficult that I have had dealt with in the past. This is also something that  myself might have to deal with later in life. Like death the idea of being forgotten and forgetting is difficult to process. Since I couldn't put my fear and anxiety into words I decided to put it into this piece.  After completing my Autoscopy the assignment called to experiment with exporting the image as a GIF. I made many different versions that I
