Jerry Uelsmann

This is my Uelsmann picture where I redid his picture of the interior of a house with a sand floor. For this I got a picture of a house and a beach and then edited out the floor, placed the sand under the furniture, then smoothed out the transition between the furniture and sand by adding shadows with the paintbrush tool. Finally, I made the image grayscale to look more like the original image that was black and white by Uelsmann. I think the image turned out well and was a more modern representation of Uelsmann's original image.

Andy Warhol Pictures

This is my Andy Warhol threshold project. The main tool used on this project was the threshold tool to make the image black and white, then I added color using the paint bucket tool. I like the way the different colors turned out and I think it makes the image pop and look colorful. Overall, I like the result, but if I did it again I think I would choose a simpler image to use.

Photo Series

This is my Rwanda photo series project. For the project I centered around a theme of social injustice, but in the last image I centered it around hope for Rwanda and the future generations of people that live there. I think the photos show the damage that the genocide caused to the people of Rwanda and also gets the message across that governments of other nations should not stand by and let acts like this happen at all. I think the project turned out well, and if I did another project like this in the future I might center it around a more positive theme because some of these images can be sombering.

Hotel Rwanda Text Illustration

This is my text illustration for the Hotel Rwanda project. For this image I used the horizontal type mask tool for the word 'courage'. I wanted to make it stand out from the flames. Also I tried to show Paul's face as a sort of caretaker of the Tutsi people during the conflict of Rwanda. I think the image expressed what I wanted it to because it shows how Paul showed courage by sheltering innocent people from the horrible acts of genocide occurring in Rwanda.

Hotel Rwanda Movie Poster

This is my movie poster for the social injustice project. For this poster I tried to make Don Cheadle's character appear as a refuge for the Tutsi people from the Hutu militia and the atrocious acts they were committing. I tried to keep the image from getting too busy, but I still wanted to get the message across clearly. I think it turned out well in the end and it advertises the movie well.

My Animoto Video

My Animoto Video

This is my Animoto video with 7 of my projects from this year. I added some music to the video as well to improve the slideshow.

Hidden Images Project

This is my hidden picture project. For this project I hid five characters from the video game Call of Duty in this snowy landscape. I altered the size and opacity for each of the characters to make them blend in more with the background in accordance with the light and color. I think the project was fun to make and fun to watch when people try to find the soldiers.
