random photoshop experiment

Took some awesome photographs this weekend...decided that they were perfect for playing around with and practicing my skills in photoshop with. I used layer masks of the crab nebula and just made a selection of each person, and viola!

Little Doors

Apparently this guy has installed 20 little mysterious doors hidden in odd pockets of San Francisco. Thought that was a really interesting idea, and if I was walking by and saw this late at night it would definitely make me think. Found it from the amazing website Fecal Face.http://www.fecalface.com/SF/index.php/good-stuff/2878-little-doors-in-out-of-sf

updated photoshop song project!

My project is coming together even more! I added a bunch more "mountains" and edited the figures even further. Next I will extend out the smoke from the fire to swirl around and begin to engulf the foreground. I also have 1 more figure to add in that hopefully will tie the image together a bit more.

project update!

after many thought modifications, my project is coming together a bit more...I changed the mountains, sky, and foreground images so that there is more space for the tribal figures to be dancing around. For a while I wanted to have breakdancing figures as well but I decided the scene would be more unified if I kept it constrained to these tribal members, I might add a couple more after this.

song project progress

This is what I have so far for our song project using photoshop. I chose the 18 minute long song titled "The echo of the future." The overall scene that I want to convey is a bunch of odd tribal/masked figures dancing around a fire in the desert

The art of Skinner

This artist is one that I have been a fan of for a couple years. I discovered him in a magazine called Hi Fructose, and truly related to his crazy style. I was also thinking about sampling one of these images for my photoshop song project.

new and improved photoshop image

new and improved image! I added a couple more vector masks to add to the overall aroma of the setting.

Homework assignment with vector masks

Took what I learned from class and applied to my homework assignment, went very smoothly, I feel that I am getting more comfortable with photoshop now. Excited to learn more tomorrow!

attempt at using Vector masks

My first attempt at using vector masks. This class assignment went fairly well, and was thoroughly enjoyable.

first photoshop attempt

This is my first time ever using photoshop, surprisingly enough these photos took me like 7 hours to do because I was having a really hard time figuring out the secret to using layers. The image on the left is supposed to be dark and moody. The image on the right is supposed to be trippy and happy. I realized the day after I made them that they both involved trees haha
