For this image, I made it restrictive as well as added some noise. I liked that it looked like an old television screen during a battle scene. The fuzziness adds a good amount of character to the image. For my second image, I made it black- white as well as added diffusion. I liked the overlay of the black and white on top of the already gray scaled image. The two mesh together and create a unique texture.  For my third image I changed it to no dither and perceptual. I also changed it to only have two colors. This created a very unique background that was almost came like. It made the storm in the background look very defined.  For my fourth image, I used restrictive along with no dither. I upped the colors back to auto. I love the colors that were added because it created a very unique color palette that is unlike any of the other images. For my fifth and final image, I wanted to do something completely different. I changed it to Mac OS with ...

This project was very a very difficult one for me. I think I struggled with showing what I wanted to say, and how I wanted it to be represented. I decided to depict my struggle between living in Florida and living in Pennsylvania. I miss my friends and my family in Pennsylvania, but I know Florida is where I am supposed to be right now. I have so many negative associations with Pennsylvania and some of the things that I have been through. I also have so many positive memories associated with Pennsylvania and I am conflicted and fighting with where I want to be. Pennsylvania will always have a piece of my heart, but I am very grateful to be in Florida now.

For this assignment, we had to take a picture of ourselves, turn it black and white, and then paint it back to color. I am very excited with how this turned out! The part I struggled with most was my skin tone. I ended up having to recolor my skin multiple times in order to find one that worked. I chose this picture because it describes my personality. Baby hairs flying a pink cupcake and a smile. Overall I think this is one of my most successful photoshop projects yet!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Easily one of my favorite shows I have ever watched. I think everyone wants a life like the people in this show where your best friends all live close to each other and you get to live your lives together. The good, the bad, and the ugly all together supporting one another. My first attempt of this project took me to the Hollywood sign in California. It was a terrible attempt and nobody should ever see it. In a way I am thankful that I did that because it gave me an opportunity to create this and I like it a lot more. I ran into most of my problems when I was trying to get my skin tone to match the ones of the characters. Although it is not perfect, I am pretty proud of how it came out.
