Plastic is Fake

Medium: Photoshop

This project was one about the power of photoshop and the problem with self image in today's world.  Barbies have always been seen as the ideal figure but, in reality, their proportions would be considered extremely unhealthy and deadly.  Taylor swift is one of those celebrities that is seen as the perfect person.  I chose her to show that no person would look healthy as a Barbie.  After making the color changes and changing sizes, Taylor Swift's perfect features turned into a plastic disaster.  Natural beauty is more appealing than beauties created in photoshop.

We were given a photo and instrusctions to correct and change specific areas of the photo.  I am learning how to efficiently use the liquify tool in photoshop.  With practice I think that I could go far with this talent.

The Power of Photoshop

Medium: Photoshop

In this day and age the use of Photoshop in professional pictures is not only common but needed.  99.9% of photos in magazines have been distorted to create the unattainable "perfect" image.  This picture I edited is one example of how a beautiful picture can be changed to fit the "perfect" standard of today's generation.

Blemish Be-Gone

Learning how to fix small blemishes in pictures makes me feel like a true photo genius! Everyone wants to make a few touch ups on images like senior pictures and wedding pictures.  Through this course I am leaning how to perfect pictures and scenery.

I feel this project was successful for the most part.  I understand the steps and tasks to create an animation, however, my project did not turn out as planned.  I wanted the project to look like a walking candyman. It turns out that the project is a candyman doing lunges.  Funny but not my goal.  I feel the problem came in while trying to take the pictures of the paper piece by piece.  The camera stayed still but many of the libs and core moved without me noticing until in Photoshop.  Loading the photos and se3tting them into frames was not a problem that I encountered.  If I were to do this project over again I would start simpler.  I had too many rotating parts for trial one of animation.  By making fewer, bigger pieces, I would have more control over the movements.  Taking the photos turned out to be the most complicated part of this project because mistakes were so easy and minor mistakes effected the over all outcome greatly.  I am not a fan of animation at this point but with practice I feel that the processes will become second nature.

I have learned that animating is a slow process that takes much practice. Each little frame of movement effects future frames and past frames.  You have to create a flow that is not obvious at the start.  I enjoy animating and, with more learning and practice, I like my love for it will grow. 

I feel that the idea and steps flowed well in this piece.  I did not run into many problems because the animation was simple the picture was already very animated.  If I were to do this project over again I would leave out the pointing arrow.  It doesn't change the idea or the audience of the animation, it just doesn't seem to make sense.  Finding a way to connect the last frame and the first frame was the most complicated task.  By throwing in the arrow I tried to link them.  Learning is all a part of art and while stepping back and looking at my animation, I have found minor crucial details I need to change in the future.
