Here is a friend

Up on a mountain

How did she get up there?

Why is she so tall?

Help

Another photoshop thing for mixed prompt, I enjoyed making this. I hadn’t keyed out the background of an image in a while and enjoyed making little details like her feet going through the trees. The contrast needs a little work but I’ll improve!

I did “I’m Ready for my Close Up” Mashup Assignment.

I had to use Adobe Photoshop and mix 2 images together…again,

whispers… *and again.*

I was suppose to mash 2 images together, but this time it was a dramatic event of someone’s face and turn it into something completely different.

If you read my other blogs than you probably already know how I do this, but I’ll explain it again, I used Adobe Photoshop to open the images and than quick selected a soccer player in which he was celebrating a goal. Well where he’s going in this next picture he won’t be celebrating anymore. I grabbed a “School” picture, yes that is correct. A school picture. I pasted him, and viola he was in it celebrating being at school, what a champ.

What a way of celebration! (Man! I need to get out more…)

For my first assignment this week I decided to do a mashup of two photos. One is supposed to be a closeup superimposed on another picture to tell a story (4.5 stars).

I took a close up of Squidward and and superimposed it on a dorm room. I also added an alarm clock to to add another layer to the concept I was trying to build. Last week I did a college reflection video and since then I’ve been going on a trip down memory lane. One thing that came to mind when looking for assignments this week was how popular Spongebob jokes were my freshman year. I also often feel like Squidward in my daily life so that felt very appropriate. I decided to combine this inspiration with the popular “I woke up like this” to demonstrate how I feel when I wake up in the morning. It tells the story of a college story forced to be a productive member of society early in the morning. It was a nice nostalgic moment as I get towards the end of my second to last semester of undergrad. I decided to post it to twitter so that everyone could enjoy the Spongebob moment.

The Here’s Johnny! close up from the shining in a brewery bar representing some people on a Friday night. Made with Photoscape.

I chose these 2 images because Jimin the face on the image is one of my favorite members in my favorite South Korean Boy bands called BTS. I thought it would be fun to make him look like a god from this image because he looks so regal and above other people. I chose both images off of Google. I’m annoyed that I couldn’t figure out how to make the edges of the image transparent and had to make them white instead. Other than that it came out how I wanted. Using GIMP is so annoying because it doesn’t explain how anything works and the tools aren’t very selective the only option is the whole image or nothing so I couldn’t even blur the edges of white around his face.

I’m Ready For My Closeup

For this assignment, I was instructed to take a dramatic closeup of anyone’s face – an actor’s, a friend’s, my own – and superimpose a landscape or scene over said face. The goal was to take two completely unrelated images and put them together, then try to make a story out of it. Below is my final product and my thoughts and steps I took to create it:

This creation is the proudest I’ve ever been in this course. I am insanely proud of it and I have absolutely no idea why. It actually caused for a laughing fest to begin between my boyfriend and I. As I finished up the product, I calmly turned to him and said “mmm tators.” He had no idea what I was working on or what I was talking about, but when he looked at my computer screen – he lost it. We laughed for a good twenty minutes or so. But anyways, here is how I made this beautiful art:

1. I had to decide what face I was going to utilize in the photo. I knew that I wanted it to be a humorous photo, thus when I saw this photo of myself – I knew it was the one. Oddly enough, I was actually at my best friend’s wedding when this was taken.
2. Next, I needed to decide on a photo that would further add some humor to use as my background. I was thinking to myself, “Hmm, Thanksgiving is right around the corner…” and boom, I thought mashed potatoes.
3. I then took to google to find a mashed potato-filled background to use and when I came across this picture of a turtle eating mashed potatoes – honestly, it was fate. I saved it so fast.
4. I call this piece, Turtlesgiving. Happy holidays folks!

For my first mashup assignment this week I chose the I’m Ready for my Closeup assignment worth 4 1/2 stars. I thought the juxtaposition this assignment allows for was quite humorous and that is what originally drew me to complete it.

To complete this assignment I first decided on an image for the dramatic closeup. I ended up picking a photo of Ryan Gosling from the movie The Notebook. I chose this image because it is the epitome of drama. He is standing out in the pouring rain trying to win the love of his life back. Once I chose the image I then picked a photo for the background. Like I previously mentioned I really wanted the dramatic close up to juxtapose the background so I picked the cutest picture I could fine, a basket full of puppies. Then once I had my two images chosen I used the app Pasteify to crop the two images together! Then I tweeted my final product here it is!
