somewhere

 








        I chose to use this photo of Juice WRLD from his music video Lucid Dreams for my somewhere project because he is my favorite artist and music is very important in my life. To create this, I first went to his music video and took a screenshot of the scene that I wanted to insert myself into. Once this was done, I asked my girlfriend to take a picture of me with lighting most similar to the lighting in the picture. After this, I used the polygonal lasso to create a layer mask of my face and shoulders. I also used the polygonal lasso to copy the hole in the ground and place it on the right side of the image. After this was completed, I placed the layer mask of the hole on top of the layer mask of myself, and used the eraser tool to get rid of the areas that went over the mask of the hole. After this was completed, I altered the lightness of my face and the hue slightly to math the photo as accurately as I could, and then used the brush tool with low hardness on black around the hole in the ground as well as the shadow for my head. After I used the brush, I used the gaussian blur to blend the brush more and make it appear as if it was a shadow. Lastly, I used this same technique with a white brush to imitate the lighting on my nose and eyes that Juice WRLD has, and I applied the gaussian blur to these brush layers as well. Once all of this was done, I had my completed project.

    Tyler this is a really cool project. It barely even seems like you were edited in. I think it's really cool how you incorporated your love for music. The shadow you created is very well done and you matched the hue of the original image very well. Great job!

      For this project, I wanted to show how intricate my thoughts are while simultaneously appearing normal to the outside world. To do this, I took inspiration from the movie the Matrix, and wanted to incorporate the green lines of code into myself. In order to do this, I first cut out the background of myself, and then I overlayed half of myself with green lines, and then using the polygonal lasso, I selected half of myself, and once this was done I inverted the selection, and used the black brush tool, and placed this layer on top of myself to get rid of the lines on the background. After this, I used two layers of this, one with the hue blend mode and another with the linear dodge blend mode. The hue mode made was used to make half of my body black and white, while the linear dodge was used to increase the brightness and saturation of the lines on half of my body. After this, to link the image to the matrix more, I added the lines of code to my body, and used the dif...

  The reason I chose these schemes was back in high school I was the advertisement committee for events. I made cards like these often and why not put my favorite sport. Baseball has always been a passion to me and no wonder I stamp it in everything everywhere I go!
