 Curiouser and curiouser! Down the rabbit hole we go-er- I mean down to Photoshop we go. For this week's project, I'm tasked with creating another dimension, a portal to another universe with the power of Photoshop! Despite my difficulty with the program, I found solace in Youtube tutorials and the modules. With proper effort and time, I found my way around it! Moving onto the project, I scanned through the possible entries and ideas I could put. I wanted elements of Myth, Fantasy, Melancholy, and maybe a touch of ominous and dark in its theme. Brainstorming is over; I ended up with a more light-hearted tone than I anticipated. I mostly found inspiration from movies such as  The Spiderwick Chronicles  and  Epic,  where they all center around nature and the little mythical creatures within .  Concept: I like the idea of world-building, and especially in animation studios, there are specific characteristics that need to be shown. For example, I wanted the co...

       I'm relatively new to photo editing, but this week's venture was an experience. I am familiar with the standard photo editor but having access to any Adobe editing software is vastly different. It's more versatile in its options and more specific as to what exactly you want to change in the photo- you can draw an image out or even change the picture's hue entirely- it's all up to the editor. There is a certain amount of precision in photo editing, much like film making editing can completely change the meaning or the way the image is to be viewed. For example, if I were to change the image's focus point, I can subtly tell the viewer's eye where to look.  For my sake, here's a rundown of how the software works. There are four tabs on the right hand side: Edit, Crop & Rotate, Healing Brush, and Masking.   Edit The edit tab is the core of the editing software. You can adjust the Light, Color, Effects, Detailing, Optics, and Geometry. For examp...

Photography is one of the many mediums in producing images based on the photographer's vision. Through photography, you manipulate the subject matter or image by lighting effects, different angles, or even editing. In many ways, photography doesn't always need to be artistic. Yet, when you look at documentary photos such as sports photography, it's evident that there is some artistic merit in portraying the players.     I spoke of my high school academy and my brief history before, but I was genuinely introduced to this medium through my yearbook club. Being a chief editor on the team was quite the task, but I learned leadership skills and the basics of photography from it. I was taught the rules of thirds, framing, all that jazz. Of course, I'm not the best photographer in the world, but it made me experience the hands-on work of trying to document events. It was laborious work, from action shots to lifestyle, since I was taught to take the photo and not think of the r...
