Scary Effects

Well, this picture isn't my favorite but it's the only one I got to finish. In this assignment I learned to use the magnetic lasso, and how to drag and drop one picture to my "canvas". I think the hardest thing I had to do was put the tenticals on my face. There was a certain way to arrange them so it would look real and it took me a while before I actually understood that concept. A graphic desinger obviously. But to make movie posters or to help animate the actual film.

Formal Critique

It’s a middle aged man building a wooden pathway in the middle of the ocean. It’s foggy and it looks sad and depressing. The sky is a light gray and the water is dark. It looks lonely. The bridge is a leading line to the man. He is a darker shade of gray than the rest of the picture which makes him the emphasis. It seems as if he isn’t worried about anything but his work even though he’s in the middle of the ocean and he could drown with one wrong move. I love this photograph. I think it shows determination in such a good way. It can also be portraying hopelessness. As if the man is working and there’s no end to what he’s trying to accomplish. I love this photo because it can mean so many things. Mostly dark, but good meanings.

Photographic Effects

Out of all the tricks we did, my favorite is the adjustment layer. I like how I can make it darker or lighter to my heart's content! The new tricks make the photos I take more interesting or cooler looking. My favorite was the gradient to give the photo a certain shade to it.
