I chose this assignment because it’s right in my wheelhouse. I have to admit, I struggled a bit this week, I’m not a photography or Photoshop guy, but I’m good at writing and being witty and funny. Stuff like this that I can do in paint and then add value with words is where it’s at for me. “I googled crazy pictures” and scrolled down the list making up headlines for everything I saw. I originally skipped this image because I thought the premise was too simple. I came to the conclusion that a simple premise was probably best for ...

So I was looking through character dossiers to see who I could mesh well with, and I found Sylvia. No last name, only Sylvia. She seemed nice- a black widow, a reporter, and a fellow admirer of red lipstick. I then saw this 3.5 star assignment, and it was simply calling my name. What could be more magazine-worthy than good young ladies suddenly turning naughty? I found this TIME magazine from the 50s and this hot lady to use as my images. First, I put the magazine into GIMP and set it as the alpha channel. Then, I covered up ...

As we enter this final stretch of assignments for the final project, I try to incorporate more ways to reflect on Bunny Colvin’s actions and character. The thing he’s probably most known for is his establishment of Hamsterdam. This assignment to create a fake Newsweek cover seemed perfect for the occasion. I cut the Newsweek banner from an existing image, and pasted it as a layer. The cover image of Hamsterdam comes from a screenshot I took of Season 3, episode 7 of The Wire. I insert the headlines using the text box tool, and made a border to help ...

Mocking Up a Newsweek Post Make up a Newsweek cover. You may design this in such a way as to satirize the topic, or Newsweek, or both. You must select a powerful image and a pithy title. Optional: add titles for other stories. The juxtaposition with your main one should be purposeful. For inspiration look to older Newsweek covers. TIME is also suggestive For this assignment I wasnt really sure what i wanted to do with a Newsweek title, Newsweek is very misguiding with its titles and a lot of other things. I generally try to stay away from reading ...

For the better part of forever, more accurately described as a few years, we’ve been in a near constant state of war on a variety of fronts. Regardless of how your feel about the causes, justifications, rationatales, outcomes, etc one thing we can all agree on if how pervasive the coverage is. Images of the various wars and military operations have touched every form of media possible. With that in mind, I watched the Twilight Zone episode “The Invaders”. [WARNING THERE BE SPOILERS AHEAD] A simple country woman lives at home until she hears a startling noise. Upon investigation a ...
