Okay so this assignment was very tricky. What mostly got me is how do you even make the image that pixelated size? I used Photoshop again and tried to make the photo 16 by 16 pixels which it wouldn’t let me size it that way…so it was 16 by 11. THEN when I saved it, it was tiny… so I figured why not screenshot it so you can see it.. but I can’t seem to find where the screenshots are going… SO THEN I used Luna Pic, to pixelate it. I’m not really sure how to resize this thing but here is what I came up with:

This is a drawing of what I believe Malevolent Melody would look like.. she has firey pink hair and glasses. I drew this on photoshop with a drawing tablet. I would’ve added her keytar but there aren’t enough pixels for that..

For this assignment we were asked to recreate a past version of someone or ourselves. I used Lindsay as my someone for this and luckily have a whole album of pictures of her drinking different things like Capri Suns (pictured above), iced coffee, thai tea, and iced tea. I already wanted to combine those photos so I did so with Photoshop.

Some things never change.. besides her having glasses.

I literally did what the assignment said: 

“Pick A Bad Photo, Apply A Vintage Effect And Write Something In Helvetica”

So in order to do this assignment I looked through my phone because I end up with random blurry pictures pretty often. My camera can load kinda slow sometimes so it happens. This wasn’t so much blurry but it wasn’t the best quality. I just wanted to capture the moon which if you’ve taken a picture of it, you know its much better through your eyes than through a camera lens. Once I chose the photo, I then applied a filter on Photoshop and text which stated how I truly felt when I took that picture. That’s basically it.

Background about this assignment: 

For this assignment you’re asked to combine two photos to create one. I am familiar with Stephen McMennamy’s work  from taking digital art in the past. I felt that I would really enjoy doing this assignment because they’re really cool pics and I’ve always wanted to make one! I used Photoshop because I’ve become very familiar with Adobe products. I think the hardest part was figuring out what two things to combine. At first I wanted sprinkles involved but that didn’t work out so the next best thing was ice cream! If I could change anything about it, I would make the background of the top half gray like the bottom half… heck, maybe I will when I get some time. I’ll keep you updated :p
