BW to Color

 

    Above is my original image for my black and white to color project. I selected this photo to use because it is an old photo from high school that brings back good memories. When selecting my colors from adobe.color.com, I wanted to include lots of pinks and greens. This is because my hoodie is pink and I really like the color green. The first color group I used was Square.


    When creating this photo, the most time consuming aspect was tracing the lettering. Overall this project took me 2 hours to complete. I filled in the same objects for every photo and switched the colors, because I really liked how the first photo turned out. I came across a few challenges when doing the project. I could not find the adobe color tab on my software, so I had to manually type in the color codes. The second issue I had was using the lasso tool. At first it was giving me some issues, regarding a nice outline of what I was tracing.


    I fixed this issue by using the polygonal lasso tool, which let me draw better lines. I want my audience to perceive my work as colorful and fun. I selected some funky colors for the purpose of making the colored parts of the image stand out. The purpose of these images is to show how certain colors I selected look on a plain black and white image.


Analogous colors are very similar and not vary

    Hey James, I think you did a really neat and good job with your images. I like how you did not color completely everything, it looks better that way. Sometimes less can mean more. All the colors you used match each other. Good job!

    James, I think your project came out really well. Everything is so neat and I love the colors that you picked and think you did very good job at adding them to your picture. My only suggestion is that you could have played with the colors more and made each picture more different by coloring different things. My favorite one is the complementary one, I love how the colors look together. Overall, good job!

    James, I think the color choices you made are so aesthetically pleasing. The placement of where the colors are too I think are what makes this so artistic looking. The feeling overall for this project is really powerful, being that some of the picture is still in black and white. Also, you did a great job with being super precise and you didn't have the colors bleed over which is really admirable because that was super hard for me in this project. Great job!

Somewhere

Image
 For this project I decided to put myself somewhere I have never been. I chose to place myself next to Sommer Ray. I decided to place myself in this image because Sommer Rae is my favorite instagram model. I ended up using a photo from her new work out line. I wanted to use this specific photo for my art because it had a space where I could place myself without distorting the rest of the image. The colors in the image also pop out and grab the audiences attention. My original photo of myself was this. This is where I encountered my first problem. The lighting in my photo was completely different than the photo I was editing myself into. I created a new adjustment layer and played around with the contrast and lighting until I made it look the same. This is my final Image. I decided to match the setting by dressing in a gym outfit. I had to increase the art-board size a few inches taller in order to fit my self into the image. I used the cloning tool to fill in the rest of the background

Autoscopy

Image
      For my Autoscopy I chose to use this photo of my self. I knew I wanted to create an autoscopy with an outer space vibe, so I chose a photo of me at night. This photo is relatively old and is from my first college I attended.      The project took me around 3 hours to make. I struggled mostly with the adjustment layers. It took me a while to figure out how to select which layer I wanted to adjust by its  self. The first photo I added to my art was a planet.      I chose this photo because I really liked the colors of the planet, and I thought it would match nicely with the skyline. I used some other images as well to create my final  autoscopy. My personal favorite was the bear. The bear is symbolic for being brave. I edited the color of the bear to blue, so it would fit better in my autoscopy.     I added a tattoo to my arm as well. I have always wanted a tattoo on my arm, but my mother would kill me if that ever happened. The rose is symbolic as well. It stands for love. I belie

PS H2 Inspirational Photos

I would like to recreate this illusion. I think it's a very cool concept. I like how real the image looks, even though it is made with toy cars. I have a camera so this would be easy for me to recreate. This photo set made me laugh. First of all the girl looks hilarious with her eyes open. I think its funny, how the editor put a hand over the girls face to fix what was going on. it would be slightly difficult to put the hand over the face. I think this image is very comical. The photoshopping does not look very hard to do either. I like how his phone is getting thrown out of his hand into the water. I feel like he should have added a higher quality image of himself to match the other Man in the photo. I think this Image would be very hard to photoshop myself into. It would be hard to replicate the pulling of the skin on the face. The shadows in the back would also be very hard to recreate.
