 Original photo: Original photo: Photoshopped photo: This assignment was to photoshop myself into my favorite show or movie. I chose to photoshop myself into a photo of the cast of gossip girl. This assignment showed me how to change the lighting, highlights and shadows, contrast, and how to believably edit myself into a photo. 

1). I think this image would be hard to photoshop myself into because his arms had to be in that exact position to make it look realistic. Also the lighting in the photo would have been hard to recreate. 2). This image gave me inspiration for my "somewhere" project because he dressed like he would actually be in the photo. He also added shadows to make it look more realistic. 3). This photoshopped image made me laugh because instead of making the guys shorts longer he made all of the guys wear shorts.  I would maybe want to recreate this image because I think its a cool trick how food companies use optical illusions to make it appear as the food is hot but its really a steamer.

I chose this color triad because my favorite color is pink and when I selected pink the other colors automatically were selected. This is my favorite BW to color photo I did because it looks like pop art.  When doing this assignment I knew I wanted to do one monochromatic colorway. I chose purple because it isn't a color found in the original picture so I thought it could be fun to choose a different color. I picked this colorway because it almost looks similar colors to the original photo.  This assignment taught me to colorize BW photos. I struggled at first but after practice and watching the tutorials, I gained an understanding and was able to colorize the photos.

 Video 1: In this video he discusses a few beginner tools. He starts out explaining the lasso tool. This tool allows you to lasso around something so you are able to remove it. Next he discusses the spot healing brush tool. This tool allows you to remove an object by drawing over it. Then he talks about the masking tool. This allows you to hide parts of your image without completely deleting it. All of the tools he discusses seemed easy to learn and a very helpful tool. Video 2: This video gave me a brief introduction to the more basic tools I will use. He started off by teaching me the move tool which allows you to move around the image. Then he discusses the rectangular marquee tool which lets you click and drag a piece of the image. He also mention the quick selection tool with allows you to move parts of an image. This video enlightened me about how different tools can be used in different ways and can do similar things to other tools. Video 3: In this video I learned quick tip...

 My Logo: My Logo was inspired by my childhood. I grew up going to my Grandparents house and they had a sunflower field in their backyard. Ever since then i've always loved sunflowers, which is why I chose to combine my initial L for Liv and a sunflower. My Tag Print:  For this assignment we turned our logo into a tag brush. I chose to create a frame with my tag around a bigger tag and then layered a pink tag in the middle. I chose to do this because I wanted to showcase my logo and add a contrast of my favorite color over top.

My original picture:  My self-portrait: My Poster: When given the opportunity to do this project I originally struggled to find an idea for a propaganda poster. I reflected on what I love and I thought of the ocean. With all of the pollution in our ocean, it is important that we don't litter in attempts to save our ocean.

My Future Letter: Dear future Olivia, I am currently a Freshman in college writing to my 38-year-old self. I hope by then I have my life figured out more. I have so many friends that I hang out with every day and I really hope to be friends with them still. My friends are Eloise, Kenna, Darby, Tess, Ella S, Kyra, Tini, Ella P, Gracie, Jessie, and so many more. College has brought me out of my comfort zone and showed me that I am capable of doing anything. Before going to college I was extremely nervous about meeting new friends, but I seriously have met some great people here. I hope that you are married to a very rich and attractive man lol. I wonder where I'm going to end up living… Possibly Florida, New York, or even back in Minnesota. Do I have children, if so how many? Thinking about being 38 definitely scares me. My life currently consists of waking up going to class, maybe going to the pool, and then hanging with friends. On the weekends, I go to Caddys with friends and usua...
