Scary Expressions

When I look at this picture I think of all of the zombie movie's I have seen. This picture may be one of the best pictures I've created. It look so realistic. I've shown so many people this picture and they all think the same. My favorite part of making this was adding the ugly facial features.

When I look at this picture I think of a scary movie. If I was ever stuck in a situation where I was stuck on a bridge with a ghost, I think I would lose my mind. The ghost in this picture looks very convincing. I am very proud of myself. I enjoyed cutting myself out of another picture and adding me into this one.

When I look at this picture I think of the Micahel Jackson video Thriller. It has alot of detail. It also looks very disgusting. It looks as if someone threw up on my face.The eyes are the scariest thing in this picture. I enjoyed adding the nasty looking texture onto my face.

The Scream: My Interpretation

My interpretation of this painitng is that there is a weird man screaming out of horror. He has his hands on his head like he doesn’t want to hear something. The man is on a boardwalk under a very dark and dreary sky. There is someone standing in the distance but they do not have a weird face like the screaming man has. The water is swirling behind him. The person who created "The Scream" used dark colors so viewers can understand the painting’s tone.

Creative Me

This project was an opportunity for us to put the tools we have learned to use. We were to take one of our portraits, and change it creatively using the following: selection tools, layers, adjustment layers, layer styles, blending options, paint brushes and opacity.

I love the color contrasts in the image. The colors are very vibrant. I like layer styles alot becasue it makes the picture more artistic. I feel very confident about my Photoshop skills because I didnt know how to to use the tools before. But now I'm pretty good at it (patting myself on the back). My hair is cool too.

Adjustment Layers

In this exercise we learned about Adjustment layers. Adjustment layers allow you to add adjustments to your image on separate layers instead of directly to the image itself. This comes in handy during long complicated projects. In Photoshop every tool is specifically designed to help improve your photo. However, here we took some artistic liberties and explored adjustments creatively.
