Calligram Project


     For my Calligram project, I decided to replicate captain Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning lifting the Stanley Cup. This work is made up of vector text and was designed in Adobe Illustrator. For my first attempt in Adobe Illustrator, I am very pleased with my work. With being proficient in Adobe Photoshop, this project allowed to me to see how both the applications compare and contrast.

   The cup was created with names of the players that won the championship this year followed by the hockey player being created out of my personal letter to my future self 20 years from now. I wanted the story to match the imaged so I wrote about how life was like a hockey game and how it will have ups and downs just like this the season the team faced with the pandemic. I believe the only difficult thing about creating my calligram was the time it took to add and edit the text to fit the image. 

Estimated work time: 5 1/2 Hours

    Tyler, I remember seeing this in class and being so impressed. You did an amazing job, it looks like a professional did this. I also love the fact that you took your passion for the Lightening and incorporated that into this project. This project was hard for me and you did so well. Good job!

Tag Brush

Image
  My tag brush was created in Adobe Photoshop. For my tag brush, I applied they spray2 overlay and a scratch filter to create the brush. In the brush, you can clearly see my logo in a grayscale format but I am able to change the color by editing the brush. I will be using this tag brush for future projects to copyright them as mine. This project was pretty easy for me. I never created a brush in Adobe Photoshop but by following the instructions on the pdf, I was able to complete this brush in less than 10 minutes. The process was quick and simple!

      For this project, I had to photoshop myself into a scene of movie. I chose Home Alone and picked the scene where Kevin ask for help from Donald Trump. I added myself into the frame to make it look like I'm trying to help him by keeping him away from him.  This project involved masking, working with adjustment layers and acting out an image to execute the photoshop. I took the image of me at work, and had my coworker act out as the boy so I could cut out my body and hand to add to the movie scene. After adding myself in, I adjusted the Hue/Saturation to make my skin tone match.  I found this project to be easy and fun. It took me under an hour to create my scene. Below you can find my original images.

Pre Somewhere

I believe that this image would be hard to photoshop myself in because of  the light beams and city lights that look like they would be hard to match with. Plus there is an illusion of speed going on that I believe I would mess up. This gives me an idea that I want to make a project from a movie scene and flip it around to make it funny. There are many parodies created but this one seems to be the best. The irony in this photo is that Trump is photoshopped as Godzilla and is destroying the county.  This image made me laugh because the editor added in an actually ass instead of photoshopping the girls butt. He wasn't wrong though and technically did what she told.  I found this illusion to be cool because it gives the idea of a couple being together in photo frames. There is so much you can do with this idea with adjustment layers and if I were to do it, I would edit the color and create a different setting in each frame.
